As technology evolves, so too can your savings strategy.
Learning Tools and Sustainable Materials are among the others.
Holding off for an improved item or upgrade can result in extra that can be put to good use. Or an investment in self improvement leads to a more manageable process as savings grow

Over consumption comes with it's problems.
Environmental impact (waste)
Clutter in your space
Or an immediate cost and irredeemable expense.

You can increase productivity by reducing consumption.
Free up space and benefit your wallet.

Interesting article I found online mentions a strategy for managing possessions and staying afloat.

Equilibrium. Item in - Item out.
You buy a new item? Sell another.

Fear Of Missing Out. Savings.

Fear Of Missing Out. Savings.

#FOMO The fear of missing out. We are presented with many of these opportunities on the daily. It's important to step back, research and reflect - before we make decisions.

Everyone has heard of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Not to forget Return. But there is more...

- Upcycle is to transform old items into something of higher value

- Repurpose is to find new uses for items without major changes

Both are collective terms/topics that can assist in savings.

Car sickness is real. I have yet to see the protesters that sit on the roads in objection to oil, move for electric vehicles.

It can take a large investment. Or it may take a clever investment to ensure you are future proof.

This holiday season, be kind to yourself and others!

Excess garlic, ginger or potatoe peels can be used for composting. By the week, you can collect a lot. And enough for a thriving garden.

Great, in my perspective you have two options. To invest in 'function' or to invest in 'fashion'. Either way - the choices we make are essential!

In some areas, it will take longer to drive to a destination than to cycle.
Comparatively, the cost is also lower.

Give yourself something back.
Something that is future proof.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement

Ethical purchasing behaviours. Its more beneficial for your pocket when you invest in certified goods. Rainforest alliance, fair trade.

Why skip the cafe every day to save? because I know with quality i don't need to search out an alternative.

Kindle Unlimited is an excellent addition to my app suite, without it I would incur late fees from the local library or add to my half-read/to-be-read pile. πŸ“–

Managing savings becomes easier... even when torn between the two pillars: Wants and Needs. Simply focus on essentials, view over-achieved earnings positively - to build a practical and effective savings profile #savings #perspective
