Do you actually have the necessity for a new jumper when your wardrobe is crowded from tons of items that you never use? Rediscover forgotten clothes, they could appear like new after years.

It’s so impressive thinking of how much money we spend in vain everyday for eating outside. For laziness or because we fancy some tasty food, our travel savings, sadly, remains low. I know, who doesn’t love going to the restaurants? However, cooking at home is the perfect way to save money and considerably cut food expenses. On top of that, it could be funny and rewarding.
Instead of the lunch break in the cafe under your office, bring food cooked at home at work with you. Don’t go to eat sushi for a month, think when you will enjoy your chirashi sat in a sushi-bar in Tokyo!
Often, you don’t need going in pubs, bars or clubs for having fun. Indeed, in particular during the warm season, a good way to save money, without reducing the fun, is to meet your friends in a park instead. Buy a box of beers in a shop and enjoy the sunshine outdoor. Good vibes from people who surrounded you are more important than the place where you are!
Going out everyday is surely very expensive. Of course, you can’t just do work and home all the week long.

Or, instead of going out, you can invite your friends over your place for a movie night or a nice dinner.
A trick that works perfectly for me is keeping my travel funds separated from my other money. Indeed, often we don’t realise how much we spend.

You will be astonished by how much doing this can help!
