Budget Busters: Three Places Most of us Overspend

Do you forever find yourself with too much month at the end of your money? All of us feel the pinch from time to time, but if this is a regular thing then it could be a clue that something needs to change. There are a number of places that most of us overspend without even realizing, and putting these right can mean extra cash in your pocket. Here are some ideas to look into.

Bills
Unfortunately, we all have to pay bills, it’s a sad fact of life. However, you want to make sure that you’re not overpaying. If it’s been a while since you made any changes, it might be worth looking through and making sure you’re getting the best deals. This article can help you find the cheapest phone plan https://budgetboost.co/cheapest-unlimited-data-plan-comparison/. You could do checks for the cheapest broadband, insurance, and even utilities by running quotes through a price comparison site. Rather the extra money stay in your pocket than go to these big companies when it doesn’t need to!

Food
Just about all of us are guilty of wasting food, and if you look at the statistics of what goes to waste each year it’s really quite shocking. As families, we’re literally spending money on food just to throw it in the bin. Getting organized with your groceries is one way to avoid this. If you plan your meals, you won’t overestimate the number of fresh items you need, for them to later end up in the bin. You also won’t find yourself running out of things midweek and having to call an unhealthy and expensive takeaway. Simple changes like taking your own packed lunch and coffee to work instead of buying them every day can add up in a big way. If you’re forever wondering where all of your money is disappeared to, comb through your bank statement. Much more than you might realize will be going on food!

Your Kid’s Bedroom Matters

Photo of a Girl Playing With the Camera

All people remember their childhood bedroom. Our environments stay with us, and when we have the chance to define a space as our own, we become attached to that space in important ways. And, in fact, our connections to such spaces might be even more important than we realized.

That’s why your child’s bedroom really matters. It’s not just a place for your child to sleep at night. Their room is their safe space, a place away from the sometimes confusing and scary world of adults, school, and even friends. A child’s room is the place to show their personality. It’s where children learn to keep spaces clean and to use spaces to their fullest potential. And we, as parents, are responsible for helping our children define, use, and maintain their rooms in ways that are healthy and good for their development.

Once the calendar rolls over to December, the Christmas cheer begins in full swing. In 2016 during a Santa convention in Montana, over 800 people arrived in the familiar red suit. The joy this suit draws can enhance the excitement a holiday party brings.

People look forward to hanging up their carefully picked wreaths, lights, and inflatable decorations to bring in the holiday season. Adults are not the only ones excited for another year of parties and gathering with colleagues, family, and friends—children are the experts in the holiday fun. If you didn’t throw a party last year, it is not too late to have the grandest of Christmas parties that everyone will remember and talk about for years to come.

Have fun and save

You don’t have to stress out about spending a wallet full of cash to have a fun time at a holiday party. There are many ways to save money for the fun stuff. Essentials such as plates, utensils, tablecloths, and other food-related items can be purchased at your local dollar store or in bulk to save money. You can celebrate your party inside your home or, if you are lacking the space, by renting out a neighborhood hall in a church or the VA Hall. With the help of family members to deck the halls, you will have the resources to splurge a bit on the fun stuff like inflatables and entertainment.
