Digging a Little Deeper to Lower Your Personal Overhead
The other day we suggested that you could easily cut your budget by $250 a month, which if applied to your mortgage payments would reduce the total outlay of interest by $52,000 over the 30 years of paying on the loan. This was based on a $200,000 mortgage at 4%. You can five those 5 easy steps here.
Now, just to put some icing on the cake, here is a another 5 slightly harder ways to get even more savings out of your budget. Use it to pay off your mortgage even faster, invest, or spend on wild living. As with the first five, these won't reduce your quality of life at all.
- Shop your car insurance. I recently was able to chop $350 a month on my policy by switching carriers. We have 4 drivers on the policy, so your results may vary. I went with Costco. You should also review your other insurance policies annually to make sure you have the coverage you need, and to see about savings on rates.
- Speaking of Costco. The savings by purchasing your groceries and other items at Costco are real and significant. Costco marks up all items by 15%. What they buy for $10.00, you pay only $11.50. Most discount department stores mark up from 50% to double. So you would pay $15.00 - $20.00. I know you have to buy huge quantities. I have found nooks all over the house for storing commodities. I have an extra freezer, too. Small cost for huge savings.
- Amazon Prime. When it isn't a Costco item, why not buy on Amazon Prime?!? Pricey toothpaste, supplements, household items and more are almost always cheaper on Amazon than at Target or CVS. And there is no freight and no auto expense. When you need more, you have a record of what you bought.
- Get rid of any high interest credit card. Use the savings from these other suggestions to first pay off all credit cards with interest rates higher than your mortgage interest rate. The only good use for a credit card is to build credit. Pay them off every month.
- Get rid of one expensive, useless or worse, habits. Smoking, buying booze in bars, fast food, gambling (including lotto.)
You have now saved $250 from list #1 and $250 from list #2, now you might want to invest that $500 in some rental property. Call Bill Rayman for an analysis of what you could afford.
