As you may know I am among other things, a Chartered Accountant. I have the typical accountant traits when it comes to money, frugal and risk averse are two near the top of the list.
I have always been interested in ways to save money, and when the ways of saving money only cost you 10 minutes of your time it’s a double win!
Some of my previous posts about budgeting and saving money have been popular so I thought you may all appreciate this quick post on 3 simple ways 10 minutes of your time can save you some serious moolah!
1. Change your car insurance
Car insurance is a bit boring, but definitely necessary. There has been a new approach to car insurance pop up over the past year, and I like it. Car insurance tailored exactly for you?! #yesplease No more paying for circumstances you don’t have just because that is what most of the population have. I don’t know about you but I’m more than happy to answer a few more questions up front to get cheap car insurance.
2. Save on your power bill
Whats my number have been around for a long time and how many of us have actually taken the time to use it? Or it has been a number of years since you last ran your numbers. Since power is one of the biggest monthly bills (aside from rent) it is a good idea to run your numbers every couple of years and see who you can get the best deal with.
3. Compare your credit card
If you use a credit card or are considering using a credit card, then make sure you check out the credit card rate comparison chart to ensure you are getting the best bang for your buck. You could be saving money on your annual fee, getting a longer interest free period, or even better – a lower interest rate. All of these things individually and combined can make a huge difference to how much you have to pay back in interest over the period of your card.
I hope at least one of these tips is helpful for you, just remember it doesn’t take long at all and you could save yourself hundreds over the year! Think about how much Scentsy you could buy with that 😉

Which way could you potentially save money???
I’m so big on the power bill thing. I’ve switched about 3-4 times now to get the best deal. I think the first time it worked out that I’d save $180 a year, that’s easy money! Also credit card balance transfers are great. I am bad at looking at insurance deals, but I should. Insurance has so much fine print which is what puts me off moving as I can’t be bothered comparing details. I should though…
