15 EFFORTLESS Money Saving Hacks That Save Me $6,830 A Year

[@ElAgustin]

What's an effortless way that you save money?

[@annousername]

I stopped buying coffee at all and I’m making it at home. It saves a lot of money.

[@jnetbrown17]

I buy instant coffee sticks cost me $1 for 6. I take pictures of my receipts and it gives me cash backs The bank where I work we have what we call “round up” which everytime i use my debit card it will round up to the nearest dollar and goes back to my savings If u dont need a new car dont buy one repair what u have. Call your car insurance ask for discount. Sometimes paying your insurance in full saves you $10 per month which ads up to $60-120. Just use your old phone and not upgrading it. Dont do the lease phone. Thats like $20-40 a month you will save monthly if you own your own phone. I spent most of my money on getting in shape due to i dont want to go through doctors and have medical bills and feeling sick all the time. I used to be in this situation sick every 2-3 months but once I started taking care of myself its been a year since the last time i got sick

[@RobinBaich]

We don't spend $ on things we don't need unless it's a special occasion like an anniversary or Christmas. That one thing alone saves us a ton of money.

[@DynamicGoatSlayer]

I only eat once a day for the vast majority of days out of the year. Not sure how much it saves me a year in groceries but I'm sure it's a lot. And since I do healthy version of keto running my body on fat, I'm usually not hungry.

[@DisneyMom21]

I literally save thousands of dollars by cutting out the food deliveries like Uber Eats and Door Dash. I also make my own coffee at home.

[@christophernewton4481]

The biggest issue is that hit of dopamine our body gets when we buy food or something we want. I’ve found that whenever I want to buy something, I instantly transfer the amount of that item into my savings and it seemingly gives me that dopamine!

[@cophater298]

interesting

[@Frenchfriesandchunkythighs]

Ooo thats an interesting way to get around it! I'm pissed I spent £4 at the corner shop today and came out with 4 things when I went in for 1. Was doing so well yesterday at not spending lol

[@ibethmartinez6882]

Thsts s great idea!

[@CC-kr3mr]

I always have tea bags in my purse and when I feel like having a hot drink, I just go into the coffee shop and ask for a hot water and say that I don’t mind paying for the paper cup. I started doing this years ago when I was travelling because I didn’t trust hotels or airports to have my favourite Thyphoo brand tea, but I started doing it all the time and it’s probably saved me so much money. I also always try to have an apple or some almonds in my purse so that I’m not tempted to get an over priced snack when I am out and about or cave and get some fries or a cheeseburger!

[@astridsandriesser4232]

For me it is not owning a car that saves me a ton of money per year!!! I run all my errands with the local bus, and I am just fine, despite people telling me that i need a car... plus I don't need a gym, because I do a lot of walking. Saving money and staying fit... what else do you want?😂

[@EllHuron]

I own two 7000$ cars and a 5000$ quad. That's the luxury I indulge myself :) But I often take the bus. Nevertheless still "high" fix costs. But as I said, I am aware of that. But you are completely right. Someone who doesn't really need a car and needs to save money, get rid of it! A car costs a lot of money once you realise for yourself all the running costs it provokes.

[@ayintovah3132]

Got rid of my car 4 years ago, I'm healthier and much better shape and save lots money.

[@TimeIdle]

Depends where you are. If you live in an urban area with good public transportation, then a car is a luxury (or a pain). But if you live in a spread out suburbia or rural area, then a car is a necessity.

[@J.e.r.o.e.n]

What is "car" ? 😂

[@davidtaylor8645]

I need to sell my car, but taking the bus in the winter is not fun where I live

[@joannbrown2842]

I rarely eat out but I do tip for table service. Good service deserves a good tip, especially when they go the extra mile. Restaurant workers could be doing a much easier job for their minimum wage and it's a way to show gratitude. Makes me feel good to do it. My daughter is a server and I've seen her tip 100% to other service workers who are overwhelmed and having a stressful day, she knows how it is.

[@patricke170]

Agree. Table service warrants a tip. Ringing up an order does not.

[@joycef8443]

My son and his wife are servers. We and they tip generously!

[@kaltenorden]

That's wild. I think I have tipped maybe a handful of times in my entire adult life. But in Germany it's polite, but rarely asked or pushed for. I can definitely understand, but I wouldn't tip someone for doing their job unless they went above and beyond. We are all working hard and stressed a lot of the time so

[@joycef8443]

A retired bookkeeper I know told me her grocery bill is the same as two years ago….she cut back on meat. She occasionally eats chicken or fish, no beef or pork! We are vegetarians at our house and our grocery bill has not gone up in the past two years, either. We eat lentils, dry and canned beans , peanut butter for protein.

[@virgil3241]

I have ZERO issues hitting no tip, at a place I have to walk to, walk up, stand in line, and they do their job. Have an issue with it, I dont give a crap. As well, before I even watched this video, I do all this already

[@michayng4105]

Excellent !!! 9. People are eating way too much meat, specially beef. 15. Exercise - excellent advice

[@patricke170]

Totally agree with you on the bs tip screen. I always pay cash largely to avoid this bs.

[@tresboujay]

I got a few packs of washable cloths for cleaning and hand towels last year and have never looked back. I’m tackling bottle water right now. Great tips! I have also had the same pair of sunglasses for 15 years.

[@georgestone0123]

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal.

[@tahirisaid2693]

You have done great for yourself. I’m trying to get onto the housing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success!!.

[@georgestone0123]

Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner..|.

[@tahirisaid2693]

I've come across several positive endorsements of Jenny Pamogas Canaya on various platforms, including KZbin channels, seminars, and more._.

[@tahirisaid2693]

Thanks to these recommendations, I successfully located her online profile and have already reached out to her with a message

[@denisehughes2898]

I personally wouldn't do this with my main home. I want my main home PAID OFF for financial security reasons. Therefore, I bought a nice, smaller home and paid it off in a year's time. I have a friend who lost his job with a home that costs over 3X what I paid. . . and now he's in MAJOR financial jeopardy.

[@heidi5452]

Hell yes! These ppl think they deserve a tip for making a cup of coffee or a sandwich? and that is their job! Give me a break! Everyone wants money for simply doing their job. I work in healthcare and cater to ungrateful ppl? Where is my tip?

[@religion-free]

right?!?!! same. where is mY tip? those coffee and sandwich makers literally making sick-people food & getting tipped, we're here trying to nurse them back into health & get shit. nO thank you. Imma go on a strike if this freakin continues, and start mY own business REJECTING all of The ingrates that I want 😃

[@angelapaules-f1f]

Exactly! I don't get tipped for DOING MY JOB! I'm not tipping you for handing me a drink for goodness sakes

[@religion-free]

@@angelapaules-f1f actually. tutorers, caretakers, coaches, teachers, SHOULD get tipped!

[@a.bentley7016]

Thank you for what you do 😊

[@A2thaLO]

That water bottle tip hit home. I spend so much on it, I am going to invest in 2 double walled tumblers and save my money and my back from lifting those heavy cases.

[@sierrasky2491]

I've never had internet service because it's $80 a month on average. I love the idea of using the library for books I do that all the time for myself. Drop your gym membership. you don't need. go for 2 walks a day, 6 days of the week in your neighborhood it's plenty to keep you in shape

[@Sarah-yj6lf]

Don't forget, everyone reading this also has a plethora of free workout videos at their fingertips for rainy days, from intense muscle building to bedtime yoga routines.

[@marep5597]

How about skipping the expensive coffee and making it at home? You’ll save a lot more. Skip the gym and work out at home. Walk, jog, ride a bike. Lots of parks have free exercise equipment too. Too many people purchase gym memberships and don’t use them.

[@darlenebattle2713]

AYE-men!! I do make and enjoy mine at home. It's worth investing in the things you'd need if you enjoy Starbucks type coffee (I'm ordering a coffee machine and a frother and teach myself how to make the specialty drinks). And I do workout at home as well as walk... it all makes a big difference.

[@isabelbecerra898]

i bring my coffee to work from home and i also have a coffee maker at my desk

[@darlenebattle2713]

I understand what you say about not using plastic bottles, but I do recycle them. I purchase a certain amount of water a month, let the plastic pile and take them to a recycler. I walk with twenty bottles in tow (I live in NY) and collect my dollar. It goes into a special cash purse and when enough accumulates I go to the bank and place it in savings. That way I know it won't be touched. I do want to thank you for the wisdom you have on saving money.

[@jat6547]

I love the tip screen,,, so I could say no. Flea market yesterday. Now the vendors have tip jars out. I bust my but in a grocery store no one gives me any flipping tip... Not even allowed to accept them 💰 These tip jars is just another way to beg, pick your pocket...

[@dpayne1943]

Exactly! If I go buy a pastry in the bakery section of a grocery store, no tip machine. If I go buy a pastry in a coffee shop/donut shop, they flip over a tip screen....NO, JUST NO.

[@joanaw.1379]

If there’s a service on the table I always leave tips, but most of the times I see people asking for tips when I just grab my food to eat at home. In this case I never give tips. I stopped using paper towels long ago and after spending a lot of money buying sun glasses, I just ended up getting a glasses box. Small things that make a huge different at the end of the year.

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

I love the lunches I bring, they’re delicious and I do my food prep for 30mins-1 hour on Sundays for four lunches ❤🎉

[@arenner5555]

Nice. I use rags too. I also use paper towels for bacon. We cut sodas too. Most everything you suggested, we already do. Great job.

[@richardackley1823]

I used to use paper towels for Bacon in the microwave but I found it too hard to separate from the Bacon and too much lint remained on Bacon too. I switched to thin dish towels which last a long time. Then just run through my laundry to be good as new.

[@joegilbody4878]

I buy 5 cases of water as a hurricane supply and I buy that at BOGO prices. I use Brita filter and carry my water with me all day every day. I love physical books but have been reading ebooks and e audio rather than burning gas to go to the library. When only a physical book is alternative I wait till I'm in the area to borrow it. He in north of Tampa area during 9 months of year our water is at least lukewarm so I use tap water for washing. My clothes are never that dirty anymore.

[@inessullivan5889]

Our public library is a treasure with the information available, but also because there is a "library of things" from where you can borrow various thing: a food dehydrator, a steam juicer, outdoor games, a guitar, even a rake and a shovel! Thank you for all the great videos, Austin!

I’ve been using a bit of paper towel wrapped around produce and then put in bag or container. It has made such a difference on how much longer the produce lasts and less waste.

[@inessullivan5889]

I started using the bees wax paper or just glass jars to put our fruits and veggies in the fridge, they seem to be lasting longer.

Lots are different over the pond it seems…Most people here in England have their own bottle of water to take out with them.. so much waste otherwise.Also I drink tap water but dilute it with cordial like Ribena…who cleans with paper towels? we use cloths, we also don’t have tip culture here..we just pay and go. That’s one thing I’m trying to go shop less.. food here goes off quick so have to go more often.i pay about £8.00 a month for my mobile phone internet service.

[@nadineabbott]

Augustin why are you not using the rags for cleaning your bathroom. I always do. I’ve cut way back on paper towel as I use to use them for napkins but now I’m using microfibre clothes for napkins. The only time I use them now is for wiping out big messes in my pans, grease.

[@beth3535]

I’m over paper towel guilt. I have a puppy and toilet paper or paper towel quarters are huge helps. I have used cloth napkins for 40+ years. When their time comes, they move to ragville. My use of paper is minimal and will stay that way. Big wins come from eliminating food waste, composting, limiting meat, and careful monitoring of my frig, leftovers, and portions. I thrift most of my clothing and buy used often. Rarely will buy a coffee outside home. Plan my car use, save by limiting my shopping visits and working a circuit for them, errands, and recreation beyond my immediate neighborhood. For most of us, the small leaks can sink our ships.

Great ideas! Oh, but the paper towels...they are the bane of my existence! I have 4 cats and with the cleaning of the litter boxes and the throw up (a thing with cats) no wash rag is going to do it.

Great tips! I do all of them already. Paper towels are a complete waste of money, not to mention terrible for our environment. I use old rags for everything and wash them in a separate load. The energy and water used to cut down trees and turn them into paper towels is a thousand times worse than the cost of washing a few rags. I also buy my food in bulk, and bring my reusable containers. Packaging is not only wasteful and bad for the environment, it costs a lot of money and you are paying for it when you buy it. I have saved 15-20% in food costs! By the way, plastic water bottles contain micro plastics so when drink from those single use bottles, you are drinking plastic. Ick! Another reason to avoid bottled water, Loved this video! ❤❤❤

Also, that water in the bottles may be no different from that what comes from your tap. Water in plastic bottles is immoral.

Back in the day when you went out drinking at a bar, you tipped the bartender well for the first drink then you were good for the night and the bartender took care of you for the night.

Well, these bottles may get hot in hot weather on lorries, or even in shops. or your bag. So, maybe a glass or stainless steel bottle would be best. Save health as well as money.

[@calibby85]

The baristas do not have the entitlement. The problem is the establishment choosimg not to pay a living wage and making the public make up for it. Also, you dont need to tip 30%, tip 15. Or nothing if youre that cheap.

So he spent $30 on 2 sandwiches.

[@char5477]

I bring my lunch everyday. It's a habit I've done for like 40 years! :) Saves me a ton of money and time wasted in going out to get a meal. People at work who buy their lunch every day, always have this odd look on their face like they are so special in getting their take-out meal. I just see it as a HUGE waste of money. I do eat out on the weekends occasionally with friends. It's more enjoyable because I can have a leisurely meal and socialize, vs cramming it all in an hour! :)

Have to disagree with this 1 thing. Don’t cut out meat. You should know this. The food Industry and big pharma has been making you and ur loves ones I’ll and dependant for years. Cut out the processed food and eat whole food. Eat Unprocessed food. Pay whatever u have to as health is more important. Paying more in the long run and short ur life is bad. Also skip breakfast. How long the lie that you must have breakfast. I don’t take or buy food. I work from 7am to 2pm and eat nothing and don’t feel hungry. look into fasting and eating at set times. Consume whole food in a 4/6 hr window. Watch the weight drop off and watch the idiots addicted to food and times they must eat even when they are not hungry. It’s their body saying to them this is when u unusually eat. It’s Time to eat. You must eat…….If you’re not part of the 1% don’t get a cash back credit card. Ur not smarter than any credit card provider that spends millions on marketing every month. Watch David Ramsey and learn about money and spending. Best advise you will ever get.

Planning ahead can really minimize taxes! I've made a smart reinvestments, especially with some great guidance from a pro for a half year now, and it's been a game changer. I was able to reinvest my RMD strategically, and I'm now pulling in about $25k a week, despite doing very little trading myself. It's a nice cushion against financial stress. Best of luck with your RMD decisions!

When talking about modems and routers, you left out the VERY important fact that if you bring your own equipment, your internet company will not help you if you encounter problems with it. If you're not tech savvy, it's probably worth renting your provider's equipment.

keep small appliances unplugged until need to use them.

Great Information thanks

[@Lizzifer7]

bold of you to assume i can afford a car or go out to a restaurant! Fantastic tips, ignore the barbs XD

[@katherynsantana6891]

I bought a treadmill. And canceled my gym membership. I can work out when ever for free.

[@davidtaylor8645]

Lol all of these are worthless to me. I’m way to frugal for any of these to even apply. Who buys paper towels lmao. Who gets drinks at restaurants that’s crazy to me. I don’t go to coffee shops, i pay 30 a month for my phone bill with unlimited hotspot so I don’t pay for home Internet. I pay 600 for rent in a major city. I work at a 2 hotels so I just get all my shampoo trash bags and to from there. After I pay off my car my monthly expenses will be under 1k . I bring in 5k a month after taxes (I work 70 hrs tho 😢) any way maybe this vid is for normal people

[@victormendoza8486]

You should see how unaware the general population is when it comes to being frugal.

If you live in a major city, why do you have a car?

[@davidtaylor8645]

@@dpayne1943 major as in like top 15 in the nation not like in New York City. The metro area has like 3 mil but it’s spread out. I live in the twin cities, we have a good transportation system but it’s to cold to be waiting for a train or bus when we have winter like 6 months a year.

Great video! I so agree with all of these but especially about bottled water and paper towels.

[@jennhowe6587]

I love all your plants! I have around 50! LOL

I use paper towels to clean up cat barf and the toilet. I make bacon on the stove top and just put it on my plate.
