How to make use of savings strategies

There are a few ways you can save. You’ll learn more about each of these in the free webinar on April 13^th. But we’ll give you the ice cream store spoonful version for now.

1. Create a household budget

The best way to start saving is to either create or re-evaluate your household budget. If the drudgery of budgeting is like nails on a chalkboard to you, then know that there are budgeting tools, like Mint and Personal Capital, that can help.

2. Save money at work

One of the best ways to have money is to directly deposit it into a separate account. Because what is out of sight is out of mind. So, if you were not to get your hands on say $20 a paycheck, you’d be none the wiser for it. And you’ll end up saving $500 by the end of the year.

3. Make a phone call

Yes, the dreaded phone call may actually be a nifty way of shaving down your interest rate. If you’ve been a loyal and responsible customer, your lender may be willing to consider lowering your interest rate as a gesture of good will. And if that doesn’t work, you shop for other cards and use that as leverage against your current lender.

4. Try these proven debt busting methods

If you are looking for something with a little more oomph, you can try debt consolidation, debt management, or debt settlement. These are proven debt busting methods that each have their own pros and cons depending on your situation.

5. Get professional help

You can also reach out to a certified credit counselor for a free debt analysis. You ideally want to find a reputable company that has been around for years — hopefully decades. And make sure they have the highest rating with the Better Business Bureau.

If you haven’t already done so, sign up for our free “5 Saving Strategies in Today’s Economy” webinar today. We’ll show you a few surefire strategies to help give your savings the kickstart it needs. So join us on April 13th, 2022 at 1:00 pm!
