Financially catching your breath after the summer
In the summer season we plunder our savings accounts and there are only a few cents left on the current account. It is usually worth it, but then it is also a must to take it easy after such an expensive period. That can be difficult, but luckily we have listed a number of tips for you, with which it will certainly succeed.
Try not to spend anything for a month
Phew! After a whole summer of spending, spending nothing for a whole month is not easy. Still, this is how you get yourself out of that vicious circle of losing money. So that means no new clothes, shoes and nice bags for a while. Spending nothing really means spending nothing. You can still get your necessary groceries, but that’s it. Try it. Did you make a mistake? Then do it again. You can do this.
Do a closet cleaning
Huh? When we make room in the closet, don’t we tend to buy new things? A little bit, but with everything you no longer use, you can earn money. Via Facebook, Marktplaats and Vinted, you can easily sell all the things you no longer need. Keep in mind that you don’t spend the money you earn right away. You save it and keep it saved.
What you can do, for example, if you still want a ‘new’ piece of clothing, is not to cash out your wallet on Vinted. This way you can buy second-hand (and therefore cheaper) clothing via Vinted with the money you have earned. Handy, right?
Savings goals and challenges
Do you find it difficult to set savings goals and actually stick to them? We understand that very well. Our advice is to therefore set up a savings challenge with your friends! This way you have someone to push you and people to keep you accountable. How nice would it be if you all achieved your savings goals and were completely financially recovered?
