The Difficulty of Buying Furniture

I Can't Afford Nice Furniture

Is that a line you have said to yourself? I can't afford to buy nice furniture because it's too expensive. The problem with that is if you keep telling yourself that, you may begin to believe it. I am here to tell you a little about myself and that it is completely within the realm of possibility to get some great quality furniture for your home without having to spend an arm and a leg. 

Money Saving Tips

If you are having problems with your budget, there may be a few things that you can do to help keep things in order and on track. One of the things I like to do is write down every expense I make, no matter how small. Even if I buy a pack of gum for a dollar and some change, I will write it down. When you look back at your ledger, phone or whatever you used to keep track of what you spend your money on, you may notice some habits that are nickel and diming your bank account into obscurity. The following are a few of the things that I noticed that I felt like were needless additional spending. 

Expedited Shipping

In the day of Amazon Prime and the free two-day shipping, you may be thinking that it's not a waste of money. However, when you can't find that one item on Amazon that you need for some reason or another, you suddenly are transported back to the stone age where it takes a week or longer to get what you wanted. The thing is, how often do you take advantage of the subscription to Prime? If you do order often enough that the cost justifies itself, then ask yourself if you are buying what you need or just taking advantage of their offer and buying needless things. Once again, this is where the list of all purchases will help. Understand that the two-day shipping offer is a business tactic to make you buy more things. I am relatively sure that Amazon isn't listed a charitable organization.

Eating Out and Food Waste

You can help pad your bank account by limiting how much you dine out or order take out. It's not just ordering pizza that can waste money, but also buying food you don't eat. Some people, myself included, "stock up" when they go grocery shopping and buy too much food. Next thing you know, you are throwing away that exotic fruit that you swore you were going to use to make smoothies. So much for experiencing that dragon fruit. While it's easier said than done, you can save quite a bit of money by buying the right amount of groceries and cooking for yourself. If you don't know how to cook, now's a good time to learn!

Car Washes

I was paying quite a bit for a car wash service every month. While I am sure they are sad that I'm not using their service anymore, this is just more money in the kitty to spend on something a little more substantial. I understand that what one person might consider a waste of money, another person may consider essential, but if you are always strapped for cash, paying a machine to wash your car may not be helpful. I realized that what I was spending money on could be accomplished in slightly more time with some dish soap and water.
