If your finances need an overhaul and you don’t know where to start, try some of these easy-to-implement strategies to boost your bank balance.
First, look at what you already have that you can make money from. Do you have a garage full of neglected toys or tools? Have a sale at home or list items on eBay.
Then look at how you can spend less. Check your energy tariff – are you on the best one for your circumstances? Switching could save hundreds of dollars a year.
Do the same with your insurance. Don’t just renew it automatically – companies love new customers, said The Mirror, so shop around for a better deal each year.
Banks also like new business and often offer incentives for switching. The process is easy too, so if you find an account that has more benefits, make the switch and the bank will do all the transferring work for you.
