The Best Saving Habits for your Early Twenties

  1. Op Shop - it doesn’t make it gross, people eat at restaurants reusing cutlery and hotel beds and those feel completely normal. Secondhand items are fine if you are willing to clean them.

  1. Cook at home

  2. If you are always paying for other people at restaurants or on first dates. Next time, pick places with QR code ordering so everyone orders and pays for themselves.

  3. Find free activities like parkrun, use yany work perks like a gym membership, walks along the beach, go hiking and read library books.

  4. Have a separate email for all promotional material from companies.

  5. Keep receipts to utilise any warranties.

  6. Always check the returns policy before buying, and remember to return the item if it isn't right and won't be used.

  7. Cancel subscriptions and find TV shows on free to air tv or the library. 

  8. Avoid lifestyle creep by avoiding Uber & Uber Eats and paying extra for convenience services. Once you start spending money on these luxuries, it’s hard to give them up.

  9. Don’t worry what other people think, you don't need the latest phone or the best car.
