13 Ways to save money on Health

-
  1. Do you really need that vitamins/fad food/fad juices? Can’t you simply eat healthy fresh fruits, meat and vegetables, namely your broccoli, spinach, oranges?
  2. Buy what’s recommended by your doctor. Do not skimp on buying what is actually needed.
  3. Do your regular dental, health and eye check ups. Again, prevention is better than cure.
  4. Do your additional annual health check ups, too, if you are past 30, do your bowel check, breast check, cholesterol check, etc checks ...
  5. Exercise regularly.
  6. But, forego the gym membership just to exercise. You can exercise for free by running or jogging or power walking at the park, or do jumping rope or skipping at wherever you want.
  7. Prevention is better than cure & much cheaper, too.
  8. If you don’t have time to exercise or if the weather is not good (it’s raining or snowing or too hot outside) … skip rope. Skipping rope is a very effective way and most time efficient, to exercise.
  9. When you exercise, think if you really need those expensive branded name gears? Can’t you wear simple shorts and t-shirts, like the old times?
  10. Exercise with friends and family, to bond or to spend time together, instead of going out to the bars or going to café to bond.
  11. Eat well. Cut the junk food (processed food, frozen food, sugary food, high-in salt food, sodas, bottled or carton-ed fruit juices, preserved food), fast food, takeaway food, low fat or non fat food).
There is no point in skimping on food at all. Don’t buy frozen food, processed food, just to save money. Buy good and nutritious food, even if it’s slightly more expensive than frozen or processed food.
  1. Cook more using fresh ingredients and herbs (forego bottled sauces, marinades, etc), better if you grow your own fruits and vegetables.
  2. Take up dog sitting. It is healthy, it makes money on the side and look at that happy face, that happy face will make you happy. :)
  3. We can do it! Just do it!

1. Know exactly all of your expenses . List all of your expenses - write all of them down to the specific and exact details. Know exactly the following detail about your expenses: i). What are they? Gas bill, electricity bill, water bill,  hot water bill, food or grocery bill, home phone & internet bill,  mobile phone bill, private health insurance bill, public transport tickets, fuel costs, car insurance bill, home insurance bills (building & content insurance, or renter's insurance), rent or mortgage payment, council rates, body corporate rates, socialising and  entertainment expenses, etc. ii).

For my annual home insurance bill, annual car registration cost and annual landlord's insurance bills, I know th

How to really save money?

I am a very good money manager. I save a very high amount of my salary consistently every payday. I was saving 75% of my income consistently in the last three years. I have zero debt. I paid everything, including car, with cash - no loans. I aimed to be able to afford a house with cash, too. I am not a weirdo frugal. I wear reasonably nice clothes, shoes and accessories (bags, watch and jewellery). I go out and enjoy nice dinners occasionally. And no, I am not a high income earner. I earn $70,000 gross per year. And no, I don't earn any bonuses at all. And no, I don't get anything (money, gifts, presents, bribes, or anything alike) from anyone, at all. People always come up to me and literally complained, "why can you have that?" "how do you  afford that?" "how do you have enough money?" "you must have a rich boyfriend!" All sort of negativities. I always say "save, have zero debt and pay cash for everything." May b

I consistently save 75% of my income year after year. And , I have accumulated more than $130 , 000 on less than average income in three years. How did I do it? I use my budget planner (download for free here ) to achieve it. How does using my budget planner achieve constantly 75% saving of income every year. In my free budget planner , I have listed almost all possible expenses. This tells you about your expenses, so that you know (really know know ) your expenses - what are they, how much are they, and when are they due. Once I knew all of my expenses (what are they & how much are they & when are they due) , I knew what are necessary expenses and unnecessary expenses. Then, I was able to eliminate all of my unnecessary expenses, and to reduce my necessary expense to its core. This makes my financial to be lean. What is a necessary expense and what is an unnecessary expense? I asked myself, what is a necessary expense? What makes
