Dear Friends,
Most of us experience
stress over money matters at least some of the time, but have you ever
really considered how much the little stuff adds up?
If we go through a simple day we can see how much is “on the table” for potential savings. For the sake of argument, let’s assume these are things you do 5 times a week, like on a normal work/school day.
Stop by the local coffee shop and pick up your favorite brew - $4
Brew a cup at home and carry it with you - $1
Saving per day - $3
Savings per year - $780
Make that a super duper latte, a cookie and a tip - $10
Drink from home, skip the cookie - $1
Saving per day - $9
Savings per year $2,340
Snack – chocolate bar and soda - $5
Snack – berries, nuts & water from home - $1
Saving per day - $4
Savings per year - $1,040
Lunch out - $10
Lunch from home - $4
Saving per day - $6
Savings per year - $1,560
Here are some things you might spend money on once a week:
Buy your favorite mag/new songs - $8
Read/play online - $1
Potential savings per week - $7
Potential savings per year – $364
Go to the movies - $10
Watch one at home - $1
Potential savings per week - $9
Potential savings per year - $468
By making these simple changes in your life – and nothing else – your total savings per year potentially add up to over $6,500. At that rate you could throw $1,500 back into the budget and take yourself out to lunch once a week.
What do you think you’d do with the other $5,000?

P.S. Who is the next person you know who needs new flooring right now?
Can I count on you to pass my name along to them? You’ll be doing them
a tremendous favor by referring them to a professional they can trust.
Plus you’ll be rewarded for your referrals! Thank you!
