4 strangest money saving tips shared by a top financial planner!

Both money making and money saving have always proved to be complex tasks! It is difficult to make money, and equally difficult to save some. That’s why we are always broke towards the end of the month. But if our financial planner is anything to go by, then you can save money in the strangest of manners! And our financial advisor also adds that while these tips might look strange at first, they are very effective in the long run. Let’s have a look at these unusual yet interesting tips!

·         Save those fast food restaurant condiments – Yes, those small pouches of ketchup, oregano, herbs, and chili flakes that you receive from fast food restaurants can help you to cut down 10s of dollars every month that you usually spend on buying these things.

·         Invest in a bank that doesn’t issue cards – There are loads of small credit unions which daily wage workers use in order to deposit their savings. You should open an account with one such credit union which neither offers credit/debit card facilities, nor has a facility for net banking. This will ensure that at least some part of money that you invest remains untouched!

·         Ask for special introductory offers on TV and internet: Today, one can find a new TV service provider or Internet service provider opening up every month or so. These people usually come up with introductory schemes to attract customers. You can literally grab offers that will help you to save up to 50% money as compared to what your spend on your existing plan. These plans last from 3 to 6 months on an average.

·         Use coupons: Though not a usual practice of financial companies in India, many financial advisors even advice their clients to visit websites that give food and entertainment coupons in order to save up to 90% money on these things. Such websites offer dining coupons and movie ticket offers.
