Make More Than You Spend
When it comes down to it, no matter how frugal you are, if you’re not making enough money to cover your expenses, your money isn’t going to work for you the way you need it to. The thing is, you can only cut expenses so far. Bottom line is that you need more income.
I do have a few tips for how to make the income-expense gap larger:
- Every few months, check your subscriptions. Did you start a free trial and forget to cancel? Is there a service you only use seasonally?
- Don’t cancel things you get joy and happiness from. It’s not worth the hit in quality of life.
- Negotiate for a raise, start a side hustle, or pick up a couple extra shifts
- Your best negotiating position comes right before getting hired somewhere - job hopping is actually great for your career!
