Live Cheap, Save Big

If you’re addicted to anything that’s not good for you, like cigarettes or fast food, give yourself a financial incentive to quit. Stop indulging in the bad habit and take whatever you spend on that item daily and set it aside. If you’re addicted to cigarettes for example, take $4 a day and put it in a jar. At the end of one month you’re going to have $120 saved up, and you’ll probably also feel a whole lot more healthy. The same thing goes for unhealthy food, if you eat out at a fast food restaurant at least once a day, set that $5 aside you’ll have a nice chunk of change after a couple months. You should reward yourself with the savings by buying yourself something nice. I’m not saying you should go out and blow the whole amount but get yourself something you normally wouldn’t buy or you usually stinge yourself on. Even if you do decide to blow all the money, go ahead because you earned it by being good and its money much better spent!
