1. Drink tap water

We are very lucky that we can drink our everyday tap water directly from the tap. This way, we save a lot of money on packaged drinks and also protect the environment, because we do not use plastic bottles. Scientists have also found that tap water is much healthier than bottled water, as it has significantly more minerals and less chemical residues.

2. Only buy things you really need

You probably know the phenomenon that you want something so badly that you buy it on impulse. After a short time, however, you realize that the purchased game or something similar does not give you as much pleasure as expected. To avoid such impulse purchases and save a lot of money, wait a few weeks before buying and always ask yourself if the purchase will really enrich your life.

I can't tell you how to get rich quick; but I can tell you how to get poor quick: namely, by trying to get rich quick.

― André Kostolany

3. Become a bit of a self-supporter!

Having your own small vegetable garden is enough to allow you to harvest vegetables regularly over a long period of time, which you can use for daily cooking. Besides, it can be a lot of fun to take care of the plants. You will be out in the fresh air and get a lot of exercise.

4. Change your electricity provider

Sometimes check if you are not paying too much for your electricity consumption. It is worthwhile to compare the prices of the different providers again and again. You can also make sure that you consume as little electricity as possible by, for example, not putting devices into standby mode, but switching them off completely when not in use.

5. Find a good tax advisor

A good tax advisor can help you optimize your finances by addressing your tax concerns in the best possible way. This tip is especially helpful for people who are starting or have started their own business and are putting a lot of money into building their business. A good tax consultant costs a certain amount per month, but this should not be skimped on.
