Strategies For Saving Money BIG-TIME
I am a HUGE fan of savings accounts. I am an even HUGER (I made up that word) fan of savings accounts with money in them!
Here are some proven strategies for piling up HUGE CHUNKS of money in your savings account:
- Save the “magic month” paycheck If you are paid weekly, you normally receive four paychecks a month, but there are four months each year where you receive FIVE paychecks. Budget and live your life on four paychecks per month and you will be able to save the extra paycheck every three months! Paid bi-weekly? Budget and live your life on two paychecks per month, and you will be able to save the extra paycheck during those two magic months each year that you get three paychecks.
- Save the TAX REFUND As a spender, I know that the word “fun” is right in the middle of the word refund. However, maybe the right thing for you to do this year is SAVE your tax refund.
- Automatically send 10% of paycheck to savings If the money makes it home in the paycheck, it is at risk of special magic disappearing acts – even for the most conservative of people. Set it and forget it. You won’t regret it.
- Save the BONUS Don’t spend it – just this once. Put it into savings. It is amazing how great it feels to be able to say, “NO!”, to yourself and put your BONUS into the savings account. It gives you the feeling that you truly are in control of your money!
- Sell something The old RC airplane in the garage just needs to go. So do the bikes that you don’t ride. So does the boat you use once per year – it’s cheaper to rent one when you need it. Put the money into savings. You will end up with an cleaner and neater garage and attic and a plump savings account!
How have YOU saved money BIG-TIME?
Become A Trained Financial Coach!
One of the biggest reasons the crusade is able to help people accomplish far more than they ever thought possible is because we have trained Financial Coaches all over the country. When we partner with a church or organization for a live event, we teach valuable principles and tools that equip people and provide them with hope and inspiration. But at the end of the day, we have to travel back home.
It is the Financial Coaches we train that provide the ongoing 1-on-1 help and assistance people need for their individual financial situations. Helping people put together a plan and showing them HOW they can win with their money is the most important thing, and Financial Coaches make it possible.
You might be interested in becoming a financial coach as well, but haven’t had the opportunity to go through our live training. The reason is usually we either haven’t been to your area or your church hasn’t launched a financial ministry yet. It might be that your church has been waiting for someone like you to step up and start the financial ministry!
Do you want to be a vital part of this crusade to help others win with their money? Are you winning with the management of your own personal finances, and are passionate about helping others accomplish the same? We are PUMPED to introduce you to possibly the most life-giving and joy-filled opportunity you may ever find:
