which you may have grown accustomed that could be eating away
money. Here are some ways you can start saving immediately.
1. Skip the ATM: ATMs that are outside of your banking network may
impose a charge for every withdrawal you make. If you take out money
a few times a week every month, it can add up.
2. Pay bills online: You can have almost every major bill directly
withdrawn from your checking account these days. Having payments
automatically made eliminates any late fees added to your account for
paying bills late. Plus, you don’t have to pay for postage.
3. Shop discount stores: Many discount merchants offer quality, and
even name-brand merchandise for a fraction of the cost of other
department stores. They just may be season’s leftovers. Also, consider

renting instead of purchasing big-ticket items. For example, for those
who have to attend a wedding or other party, you can rent a tuxedo
