Money Saving Amy's new year advice for saving and making more money in 2024
Hello everyone and a Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a brilliant time celebrating the new year coming in.
January is the perfect time for a “reset”, and a great time to get planning financially for the year ahead.
Today I'm offering a few thoughts on how you can plan your year. Getting organised is the best policy, both in sorting your spending and looking for extra earning opportunities.
WRITE A LIST!
I suggest you write a list of all the milestones that are coming up in 2024 and consider how you can do things differently, saving a few pounds along the way.
You would be amazed at the amount you can save over a year by taking a cheaper option, or taking advantage of special offers.
Here is a list for starters – consider it as food for thought!
Birthdays, weddings, baby showers and christenings; anniversaries; school holidays, both main ones and half terms; Easter, halloween and Christmas; summer holidays; school uniform, yearly bills such as car and/or home insurance, or perhaps the green waste bin yearly payment; yearly subscriptions you may have; increases in bills such as council tax.
Of course, this is among many other things, and while many of these may seem obvious, sometimes the most obvious things get overlooked and forgotten, and therefore it’s a great time to get planning ahead.
