Eating out every day
One efficient way to cut costs and save money, either for a short-term or long-term goal such as retirement, is to avoid unnecessary splurges, says Ryan Guina, founder of The Military Wallet and Cash Money Life.
This includes eating out on a daily basis. Instead of going out for lunch during your work break, try bringing something you prepared at home. Similarly, instead of dining out every evening after work, it will help your budget a lot if you’d also cook more at home. Not everyone cooks like Gordon Ramsey but this doesn’t mean you cannot make something simple for dinner every once in a while. “Finding those chances to save money and put it towards your retirement will make you a winner in the retirement game,” says Guina.
