...thousands of pennies, that is. Just kidding! Thousands of dollars! That's what you can save if you have the average American lifestyle and make some changes.
Spend $199 on our Nutrition Kickstart: You'll build the habit of eating healthy food at home and save money on fast food, restaurant food, tips, gas mileage, and alcohol. The lifelong benefits and savings on healthcare are also an incredible return on such a small investment! If you review the chart below, you'll find that healthcare expenses are an average of $5,000 annually for most Americans.
How much money are you spending on cable, Netflix, and other movie/tv/entertainment subscriptions? Cancel them. Watch free options and spend your time learning new skills with free options on Youtube, etc. Savings: $80+ per year.
How much money do you spend on alcohol? Stop drinking. Yes, stop drinking margaritas, whiskey, all of the things...whatever they might be. Stop the habit sooner rather than later. Your bank will thank you, and so will your health. Find a different and healthy way to de-stress, etc. Beneficial habits start with making a decision today to stop unhealthy habits.
How much do you spend on your phone? The average American spends $1,371 per year on their phone plan. Simplify and downsize to the option I love, Mint Mobile, which is $180 per year. Savings: $1,191 per year.
Check out the graph below on spending. Identify the areas you spend the most on, and decide which areas you can reduce. Start with one area and then choose the next.
And finally, keep track of how much you're saving! In the same way that you love watching progress in your fitness, apply the same principle to your finances and your nutrition habits and measure the progress. Progress is what keeps you moving forward and excited about the future.
