Life hack: how to save up for a car
Miscellaneous / / November 18, 2021
Your own car is a new level of freedom and comfort. We will tell you how to save up for it without changing your usual way of life.
Determine how much money you need. To do this, make a list of the models that you like and check the prices for such cars on salon websites and in free classifieds services.
Think about how long you want to save up for a car. It depends on how much effort you have to put in. Write down the term in months and divide the amount you need by their number - it will be easier to plan this way.
Optimize shipping costs. Buy a public transport pass, or use your bike or walk for short journeys in dry weather. Limit taxi rides.
Think about what you can give up. You can take coffee with you not in a coffee shop, but from home in a thermo-cup, and dine not with a salad from a restaurant, but with a homemade snack from a lunch box. Training in open areas in the park is free, in contrast to the sports club. And instead of going to the cinema, you can subscribe to an online service - the amount for a year is comparable to the price of a couple of tickets.
Top up your moneybox for a car monthly. Send there the sums saved on travel, coffee, lunch, workouts and movies, as well as a certain percentage of income.
If you already have a car, make money with it to change your car. Register with taxi aggregators or travel companion search services as a driver. Take multiple trips daily - before and after work or during your free time.
