Sami Cone host of The Sami Cone Show talked about ways to have healthy money habits in the New Year.
1. Return & Cancel
--- return any unwanted/unused gifts before the end of the month and cancel any subscriptions - both services and product subscriptions you may have set up to save money)
2. Use Gift Cards & Credits
--- chances are you received gift cards over the holidays or store credits for returned gifts you didn't have a receipt for. Don't wait! Use those up
3. Set up Budget Billing
--- January is the perfect time to either set up budget billing with utilities or figure it out for your own budget by reviewing the past year
4. Start Saving Again
--- If you didn't put aside a certain amount of money each month for Christmas, vacation, etc, this is the time to start! If you did, make sure you renewed your savings goal with your bank/app to start again
5. Earn More
--- Let's face it, we can only save so much money if we're not making enough. The New Year is the time to talk to your supervisor about a raise. If that's not possible, start a side hustle. We typically have more time indoors during the winter to start projects or learn new things. Put it to work for you!
