The end of the month is approaching and your wallet needs some TLC. But don’t panic. We have collected five useful tips to pamper your wallet and treat yourself to some extra luxury, without your bank account starting to protest.
Be in the kitchen yourself
Why eat out when you can be a true kitchen queen at home? Dive into the world of culinary adventures and discover how you can treat not only yourself, but also your bank account with tasty creations. Get inspiration from the tastiest cookbooks or websites. Because let’s be honest, if you have mastered the skills in the kitchen, you can also whip up that delicious pasta from the place around the corner yourself! (And that bottle of wine easily costs 20 euros less at the liquor store).
Eliminate all your unnecessary subscriptions
An abundance of subscriptions can put a strain on your wallet. Time for a thorough subscription detox. We all pay for a few subscriptions that we really don’t need. Discover which monthly costs you can eliminate and give yourself the freedom to enjoy the things that really matter. You’ll be amazed at how much you can save!
Don’t always go for new
Trends come and go, but style is timeless. Discover the world of vintage fashion and give your wardrobe a unique, timeless twist.
And why always go for new when you can also go for smart? You can save a lot of money, especially on equipment. A new iPhone is a real pain for your wallet, that’s for sure. Treat yourself and your bank account sooner with the purchase of a refurbished iPhone. These phones have always been properly checked and are therefore as good as new. Another big advantage: you can simply benefit from the warranty. So no stress!
Logical budgeting
Create a budget that suits your lifestyle and manage it with flair! Because who says budgeting has to be boring? Discover how to manage your finances with a touch of glamour. According to Nibud you should save about 10% of your net salary. For example, if you earn €2000 per month, it is best to save €200.
Sell ​​your stuff
Find out how to sell your unused items. You can also look at your phone in this case. Do you want to adapt a newer model yourself to take Insta-worthy shots, but is your old device still in great shape? Then you can simply sell your own iPhone. You can then invest that money in a new device. Win win!
Your closet is also probably full of clothes and items that you no longer use. Why not sell them and make some extra money? That one dress that you don’t like this summer can get a new life with someone else.
