How Do You Spend Your $$?

In order to learn how to save money, first think about what you spend your money on.
Generally, this consists of....

  • Transportation
  • Housing
  • Food
  • Taxes
  • Entertainment
  • Healthcare 
  • Shopping
  • Insurance
Right. Generally.  Now it's the little things that matter.  What do we spend our money on day to day that can be avoided?  These are things like....
  • Coffee- in the morning and afternoon
  • Lunch
  • Various beverages and snacks
  • Cigarettes 
  • Alcohol  
  • Impulse buying (i.e. "sales")
  • Misc. fees
  • Music, apps, tv shows, movies, etc.
These are things that can often be replaced for cheaper substitutes, or are things we can completely eliminate out of our lives in order to save a bit.  What are the things you spend on an average day?  Make a list and see what things are necessary and what things you avoid.  It's the little things that add up, so it's the little things that count the most.
