Financial Planning Begins At Home
How much money do you waste in your day to day life? The answer may surprise you.
- When you leave a room, do you always turn the lights off or do you leave them on for extended periods of time?
- When you’re finished using your computer do you just get up and walk away, leaving it still running and using electricity?
- What about those wall warts, do you leave them plugged in even when they are not connected to anything?
All of these things drain your pocketbook a little at a time. Look at how you live your life in a more miserly way. Be very careful with how you use your appliances and your electricity in general.
Next, look at your trash can, there’s money in there.
That money is in the form of paper and plastic recyclables. Why throw those things away and let the garbage company make money on the recyclables?
Did you know that many cities have a law that once the trash is out to the curb it is the property of the garbage department?
Anyone caught digging through the trash containers can be prosecuted for it.The reason for this is that the garbage companies know how much money is involved in the recyclables and you are losing out on it.
It’s not hard to collect your recyclables and take them in to the recycling center next time you’re in the area.
