You may not realize it, but $5 a day is flying from your pocket and into oblivion. You may think you are doing the right things to save, but there are many ways you could be doing better. And recognizing that $5 is the first start.
First off, this is definitely not a Ramit Sethi-type teaching by any means. This is focusing on the smaller aspects of spending we don’t recognize. Many other financial “guru’s” and bloggers have noted the effect of limiting latte’s and general eating out practices. However, there aren’t as many “guru’s” screaming about the money being wasted in the household nor the ways to grow a small savings through changes such habits in the home. The benefits to a Sethi-type are obvious. The more you knock out big chunks of big bills, the faster you save a lot. That is great and I am all for those practices, but they are usually limited to being performed rarely. Whereas, the actions I will express are lifestyle changes that can save just as much or more in the long run.
