Save part of your paycheck; use the 50/20/30 budget.

50% of your check goes to essentials, 20% of your check

goes to savings and the 30% goes to personal needs.

Put your bills on autopay

Match your spending with saving; this is a great tip for

when you buy non essential items for example that

Starbucks latte. Whatever you spend on that non essential item,

put the same amount into your savings.

Choose your credit card wisely

Try different apps to help save you money

Upgrade your bank account; if you aren't getting much

interest from your savings, consider transferring the

balance to a high yield savings account.

Stick to your bank's ATM

Look for multi-policy insurance discounts

Buy household items in bulk

Prep and cook meals at home

Grow your own food

Stay inside instead of going out

Buy generic brand items

Always, always compare prices

Take advantage of shopping apps

Sell items you don't want or use

Evaluate subscriptions and memberships

Create your own home gym

Switch your light bulbs out and use LED

Unplug appliances that aren't in use

Shop around for gas on gas buddy

Change your car's air filter

Enjoy free activities vs paying for going out of the house.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
