/“Gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits
Ain't got no job, but I stay sharp
Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent
But that's okay, cause I'm still fly”
*record scratch*
Catchy song! But, this ain’t cute, funny or smart.
Those Gucci boots and gator suits are cute and all(yeah like in 2001) but can we really say that this is smart spending?? In all reality, if rent isn’t paid, lights aren’t on and the car is being repossessed; what does having those expensive things do? There are ways to live a life with nice things and not regret the bill later.
Try a few of these things to cut back on the excessive or pricey spending.
Comparison shopping; check a few ads for groceries or clothing that you want to buy.If you about to go to the mall and you know for a fact your hitting up Macy’s or Bath and body works, look online and see what coupons and sales they got going on. If you know Bath and Body works is your go to for home, body fragrances and candles, then it’s best to bulk up during their Semi annual sales(a $5 body spray will smell just as good as the $17.50 one—bigger variety too!).
Stop over paying for convenience; that's your UberEats, Door Dash, Postmates etc.
Stock up; buy deodorant, soap, tissue, paper towels in bulk.
Stop paying for services you don't use you can even buddy up on certain services, annual memberships to Costco or Amazon Prime.
There are soo much resources at your fingertips. UTILIZE. UTILIZE. UTILIZE.
