Penny Saved!
Remember that one, I’ve said it a couple of times now. The way to increase your take home pay, is to stop spending the money you are getting. Seems pretty simple really, here are some examples that I have harranged about:
- Buy 1 less coffee a day (better still drink the free crap at work, or bring your own from home). $2-$5 a day for 250 working days = $500 at least
- Lottery tickets, let’s say we save $10 a week another $500
- Eating Out, again, you can save $20 a week on that at least, another $1000 a year
Hey, that’s $2000 saved, which means, if you are somewhere near the top tax bracket living in Ottawa, that means you have “earned” about $3500 before tax money, not half bad.
Yes, it means you don’t have nice coffee, or a chance at a million dollars, and you have to eat leftovers one night, but $2000, is nothing to sneeze at either eh?
Saved money == Earned Money! –C8j
