Financial Fitness Topic

Description

Have you noticed how the cost of living continues to rise every year and yet perhaps your wages aren’t keeping up? Groceries are more expensive, the cost of utilities is creeping higher and higher, and so is the cost of transportation. Intuitively we know that there’s got to be a better way to save, but how?  

In the 75 Ways to Save on Household Expenses workshop/webinar, you will learn how to:   

  • Reduce your electricity and heating expenses with simple fixes 

  • Save money on your cable, telephone, and internet bills 

  • Reduce your grocery bill every month 

  • Create one-dish meals that save both time and money 

  • Determine if your transportation costs can be trimmed 

  • Shrink your entertainment expenses and still have fun with your family and friends 

  • Implement some easy tips to reduce your personal expenses (e.g. clothes, fitness, and books) 

  • Save on gifts and special occasions like birthdays and holidays 

 

Assuming that every dollar has a job, then every dollar saved can make a difference to your overall budget. Saving even a few dollars on monthly expenses can really add up!

    • Windows 10 or Mac iOS  

  1. Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here. Minimum recommended speed is 1.5 Mbps, but anything below 3 Mbps may result in loss of quality or buffering. Ideally hardwired connection versus wireless for stability - connect your computer directly to your router using an ethernet cable, rather than using your home wi-fi.
