In today’s rough economic times we are all looking for ways to uncover a little hidden cash. Because if we stand back and think about it for a second, there are lots of ways of putting more money in our pockets. Whether it’s saving or finding a few extra dollars, here are 7 ways to end up with a higher balance in your bank account.
1. CHANGE YOUR PHONE PLAN
Most people overpay for their cell phones. Check your bill this month and see if you really need all those texts, minutes, internet data options, etc.
2. CONSOLIDATE YOUR INTERNET, CABLE, AND HOME PHONE BILLS
Fierce competition is driving cable and phone service providers to offer discounts on package deals. Call your provider today!
3. START BUYING IN BULK
While you certainly do not want to buy a years supply of pickled beats, there are some things that are worth buying in bulk that can help you save hundreds annually.
4. SIGN UP FOR A NEW CHECKING ACCOUNT
Many banks are now offering between $75 and $150 for anyone who opens up a new checking account. This is a total no brainer!
5. CARPOOL
Cut down on your addiction to driving and burning petroleum. Carpool with a friend and save money, enjoy great company, and save the planet all at the same time.
6. HAVE THE MOTHER OF ALL GARAGE SALES
Only you know how much junk there is in your basement or attic. Take all of it that you no longer have any use for and have a garage sale. Be honest with yourself and part with anything you don’t really need.
7. LOOK UNDER THE COUCH
The list just wouldn’t be complete without this one. But there is an element of truth to all sayings, and this one is no exception.
