-- Financial expert and founder and main Manager of Select Portfolio Management, Inc. and Select Money Management, Inc., Anthony Joseph Amaradio, has five methods individuals can use to automatically save cash. Tony says, "A penny saved is a penny earned." This means that when you don’t spend money, you gain something. If you have money coming in and spend it almost immediately, this is financially a wash, meaning you’ll see a big zero on paper. Those who want to build wealth and security should consider saving money and possibly investing it. Tony also says that when you can save money by not changing your routine, you exponentially increase the monetary blessings in your life and your overall spiritual well-being.
Anthony Amaradio recommends following the 10-10-80 Giving and Saving Lifestyle Plan, which emphasizes allocating 10% of income to giving, 10% to savings, and 80% to expenses.
1. Build a Budget - Review your needs, plan for your wants, and remove the waste. Knowing where your money goes and how much you have coming in is the beginning. Record your recurring fixed bills, such as utilities and loans. Next, track how much you are spending on groceries and eating out. Don't forget to include that morning stop for coffee. Here's where you will find a big chunk of wasted cash. Even just a few skipped cups of Joe can add up to a savings of $25-50 a month.
2. Automate Deductions and Transfers—Out of sight, out of mind. You can set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to a savings account, or you may be able to set up a plan to split your paycheck deposit through your employer. If the saved coffee money is not in your spending account, you can't use it.
3. Get Cash Back - Many credit cards and websites offer cash-back incentives. 3% cash back on gas or groceries can add up. If you don't take advantage of these programs, it's money left on the table. You may have to read the fine print and sign up, so check the promotions on their website when you log into your account.
4. Interest Rate Reduction or Pay Off Debt - This is money in your pocket right away. Many credit card companies will lower your interest rate by a point or two if you simply ask. One phone call could save you hundreds per year. Of course, if you can afford to pay off your debt, you could save thousands.
5. Lower Fixed Monthly Bills—Cable, Internet, and phone bills can often be reduced. As technology advances and competition increases, companies are bundling services and creating new plans regularly. You should be aware of their latest offerings and your current usage. Maybe you are paying for an extra cable outlet or a premium TV channel you don't watch. Perhaps you could subscribe to a streaming service and eliminate your cable bill. Think of savings!
