省錢大作戰，START!!!

1. Cut your habits by fifty percent 將你的嗜好減半

Things like coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, eating out and more.
少一點咖啡、香煙、酒、外食等，如果你一天省下$50元的咖啡錢，一個月就會多出$1500呢！

2. Track your daily spending 記錄每日花費

Download a budget tracking app on your smart phone or create a Google Docs spreadsheet ,document every penny that you spend.
在智慧型手機裡下載記錄預算的app軟體或是建立Google表單來記錄花費
Once you figure out how much you’re spending on a daily basis, set a goal and try to cut down your costs by a few dollars per day.
一旦知道一天花費多少，設定目標並試著減少每天花費

在知道消息之前，你會在信箱中直接收到折扣、促銷代碼和其他很棒的優惠

The best way to do this is to create a separate email address just for newsletter sign ups.

最好的辦法是，為電子報另外辦一個電子信箱

So that you don’t get 100 emails a day to your primary email account.

這樣一來你就不會在原本的電子信箱中，一天收到一百封電子郵件

7. Unplug Everything 拔掉所有插頭

Unplug anything and everything in your house that you’re not currently using.

everything off in one switch.

最簡單的方法就是選幾個便宜的電源延長線，把所有插頭插在上面，然後只要按一下總電源，就可以關掉所有開關
