When someone thinks of improving their finances, the top thing that comes to their mind is
- It needs a lot of analysis
- It takes a lot of time
- Blocks their money for a long period of time
But now there are a number of tools or ways which are in accordance to customer’s short term needs as well. Let’s see how the small changes can help you improve your finances while only investing an hour or less in a week.
- Switch banks
The banks are being very competitive in the new age and are always competing to provide the best interest rates and low fees for services. It will not take more than an hour to do the analysis and switch your bank. If your organization provides you with an account, you can transfer money once a month to enjoy the benefits.
- Shop your insurance
Once a year before renewing your insurances you should shop or collect the data to know the current rates as many companies come with offers to acquire customers from the competition and you will be surprised to know that to counter that offer your insurer will be always ready. You will save quite a bit with your Auto Insurance, Home Insurance or Life Insurance etc.
- Reduce your credit card interest rate
Paying interest on your credit card? Call your card issuer and ask (politely) for a better offer or a card with lower interest rates. Check with other banks as well for interest rates and ensure you are getting a competitive rate. Less interest rates help one save a lot of money.
- Lower your monthly bills
Get online and check the best deals for your phone and cable bills. Call your operator and discuss the offers available with the competition and you will be surprised to see their retention offer. No one likes to see their customer leave and will help you save a lot of money.
- Lower your bill some more
Comb your bills like online subscription, newspapers/ magazine subscription, international minutes, unlimited texts or data and so on. If you are not using it or getting money’s worth, drop it.
- Learn one thing
Most of these things are once in a year activities, so it leaves a lot of time to learn. Maybe you want to learn what an ETF is or why you need life insurance or how banks calculate credit card interest. The more you know, the better you become at managing finances and making good decisions.
- Find the biggest money drain and plug it
Sit down with your bills and statements, find out where is the money going? Do you eat outside a lot? Entertainment too much? Shop too often? Daily Starbucks habit? If you have a habit that’s costing you much, find a way to plug it.
