With a hefty college bill ahead my husband and I took a close look at our expenditures and this is what we noticed:
- We had a bogus charge on our credit card
- We were paying for online and offline subscriptions we don't use
- We weren't taking advantage of coupons and special deals
- We had a little money sitting in accounts that we had not accessed for one reason or another
It's important to take a look now and then at where you spend your money and how you might save or make a bit more. Ideally this should be a monthly event to make sure you are not cheated or losing out on money that will help you pay for the items and opportunities you prioritize.
