7 Easy Ways You Can Save Money
Keep more of what you earn.
When it comes to having more money in your pocket, it’s easy to only focus on trying to make more. Whilst of course this is critical to the equation, trying to make the best use of the money you already have is just as important.
“It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep” — Robert Kiyosaki
When people think of saving money, they automatically focus on how much they tuck away into a savings account on payday. But there also many easy ways you may be able to save money from what you spend during the month.

Over time it can be very easy to accumulate multiple subscriptions for similar services and products. Do you really need Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu? If you do, do you need them all at the same time? There’s surely only so much television you can watch in any given period of time.
Take a look at all of your subscriptions and ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I use this regularly enough to justify the cost?
- Is there a cheaper alternative available?
- Is there a free service I could use instead?
