Ever hear the saying, “A penny saved is a penny earned”?
We’d take it even further: a penny saved is often better than a penny earned! Here’s why:
When you work an hour, you get paid once. But if you spend an hour finding a smart way to save money, that savings can pay off again and again – year after year.
That’s why we show savings in dollars per hour ($/hr) – because saving money has the same effect on your wallet as earning it, and often even more.
So think about your current hourly wage. Now compare it to the $/hr savings from the tips we share.
If our ideas save you more than your job earns per hour, wouldn’t it make sense to spend more time learning to save than working more hours?
The more you save, the less you need to earn, and the more time you free up for the things you enjoy most in life!
That idea is the foundation of this site, and we’re excited to share it with you.
