These 8 Frugal Tips Will Help You Live A More Cost Efficient Life
Put that money towards what you really want
Frugality gets a bad rap as being cheap, but it’s really about living efficiently and making the most of your money. As someone who loves efficiency, I’ve discovered ways to save money in my daily life without sacrificing quality.
Below are some tips to help you make cost friendly choices.
1. Buy a used car and learn basic maintenance
If you’re a point A to B person like me, you don’t need a fancy car to travel. Buying a used Honda or Toyota with good mileage will be reliable and cost way less overtime. Opt for a manual transmission to save on repairs.
Watch YouTube tutorials and learn basic maintenance like oil changes, brake pads, and battery swaps. Oh, and say no to the dealership!
2. DIY whenever possible
Before calling a repairman, see if it’s something you can tackle yourself using online tutorials. You’ll be surprised what kinds of fixes for appliances, electronics, and plumbing you can do with a little guidance. You’ll save the labor fees and avoid inflated costs for unneeded parts replacements.
