Crying when you see the money that you have to pay someone else with? Well then, I have some tips on how to save some of that money so you don't have to worry so much with money.

Make Sure You Have A Mortgage That Suits You!

Ok then, mortgages are one of the huge money consuming assets that unfortunately nearly everyone has, but you could actually save on it! Don't just go to a bank or something like that because they usually offer you something that is terrible with nothing you want and too much to pay. So call on the help of a Financial Advisor, they have access to thousands of mortgages and can find the best deal for you, this could save you thousands!

Clear the Credit Card

Ok then nowadays with money getting tighter people are paying by their credit card, DON'T DO THIS! Unless you really have to as otherwise you are just dodging this payment but also making the debt worse. How does it get worse? Well it gets worse as you will have to pay it off plus an added interest plus whatever else you spent with your credit card! So instead pay it off, I suggest doing it little by little of your income and don't add any more onto it!

Change the Bill Companies!

Right then your monthly bills could be more expensive than what you need! Search on a reliable website for the cheapest deals and you could be saving in no time.

Change the Phone Providers

So you might think that your current provider is great, but is it that great? Do a simple search; you might be able to find another small company which offers nearly the same but for less!

Don't Use Your Mobile Much?

Well many people who are in a contract might actually be able to save money by switching to a Pay as you go phone contract, pay only the money that you spend so no extra costs! Check the small print to see if you have to pay a certain amount each month, if you do then look for a different one as you should only go onto one which lets you top up whenever you need to and not actually at the end of each month.

Don't Buy Expensive Clothes!

Ok don't buy expensive, designer clothes, they're not needed! As long as you look good in some cheap jeans and a top then you don't need to spend very much! Don't forget cheap clothes don't mean that they're hideous; it means they are easy and cheap to make.

Sell That Junk!

Have you got lots of unwanted junk just lying around? Well why not sell it? Put it up onto ebay and you might get a bit of money for what you thought was junk!

Cut on Your Holiday!

Ok you may be going on holiday but don't book a package! It's more fun and interesting by going in your own little family. Book a hire car and get some accommodation and plane tickets then explore the holiday destination and it's features; self cater as well as it means you can taste a variety of local produce and it's cheaper.

Do You Need That Vehicle?

If you don't need that vehicle that is a sporty car or a truck then sell it and buy something more suitable for what you actually need!

Pack That Smoking Up!

You could save thousands if you pack up the smoking, an average 20 cigarettes a day person could spend up to $200,000 in a lifetime that could've been used for buying that house!

Is that Satellite T.V Really Necessary?

Ok then are you paying for something like Sky but actually watching a few channels of it? If so then scrap it! Just order the channels you do want, you could be saving loads!

Save loads - Shop Online!

You could be saving lots of money buy not going into town wasting that fuel while instead going on your computer and doing it all online, you find lots more cheaper deals than on the high street, try it out!

Compare the Fuel Prices!

Need fuel? Well go for the cheaper option! It will be cheaper which saves you more money.

Turn Those Taps On!

You could save money by drinking from the tap! Don't buy that bottled water as it might actually come from a tap! On the move though? No excuse! Buy only one bottle and then refill it from the tap later on and don't throw it away!

What's that Small Print I Can't Read It!

Companies will usually have a small print, this can be the terms and conditions of something but it could also be a big minus for something that you are about to buy, usually in contracts it means that the person who is giving the contract might have just said that he owns you if you sign or that there is a huge monthly price for something that you just got for free. Always check the small print, you never know, it could save you lots!

No Tips?!?! This is by far the most absurd idea on this list. If you are going out chances are that you are being waited on and waitresses are dependent on their tips to make a living. (Waitresses do not even make minimum wage, when I was a waiter I made just over $2 an hour, thats only a little more than $20 per day)

Hey it's not your problem that they don't get minimum wage, if you want to give them a tip then do but this is to save money on things that you don't need to do. Anyways you don't need to follow all of them as they are just suggestions.

If you aren't going to tip, don't go out. Period. You're wasting a space for someone that might tip. It's expected that in tipping jobs that they'll make the rest of the money in tips. You obviously don't know what it's like to be in a tipped situation.

Yes but going to a resteraunt isn't all about the tipping, yes it's nice to but that is not the main reason of why the owners want you to go it's so then they can get money on the cheap.
