The Art Of Not Spending Money: 8 New Strategies

1. Selling Old Stuff: One really effective strategy I’ve discovered is taking time to clean and sell unwanted or unused items. This has really kept me busy. I’ve had to take time to find resale shops and sell the items or I’ve taken time to list items on eBay and LetGo. This time spent selling for cash has helped me think about the time I spent charging items. It’s been extremely exhilarating talking with people where I’m going too.

2. Teapot Cash Stash: I started a place where I put cash I earn rather than keep it in my purse and at the end of the week I opened a New Savings Account.

3. Reading Books on Money: I’ve learned a lot from reading books on money. It’s a good thing to educate yourself on topics like being frugal or a money cleanse theme.

4. Sing Praises to God: I’ve been stronger with my self-discipline and I’m grateful to God for moments of success.

5. Delete Amazon: I spoke with customer service on Amazon to help me successfully delete my account. This has kept me from pressing my Amazon link and ultimately from making Visa charges through Amazon.

6. Talk with a Friend: I know I have a fabric buying issue so I met with a friend who also sews and she gave me the ideas Of keeping a handwritten inventory of my sewing materials.

7. Go Credit Card Free: I removed my credit card and made zero charges on it. I’m only traveling with a debit card.

8. Establish a Set Amount: I signed up to get daily debit card balances and I discovered it has really helped to know I only have $140.00 to spend. Knowing each day this exact amount keeps me Money aware. Thus, I now try to keep that amount on the card.
