Money Sense: Easy Ways to Save Money

Easy Ways to Save Money
Term Explanation
Get Organised
Pay your bills on time and make sure there’s enough money set aside for them. This helps you avoid costly interest charges and penalties.
Carpool to Save
If you or a friend drives to work, consider sharing rides. Carpooling cuts petrol costs, reduces wear and tear on your car, and lowers your monthly expenses.
Go Generic
Generic medicine is just as effective as branded versions—but much cheaper. Always ask your pharmacist for the generic option to save money on medication.
Quit Smoking
At N$30 a pack, a smoking habit can cost nearly N$11,000 per year. That’s money you could put toward a car, savings, or investment. Your health and wallet will thank you!
Pay Pay More than the Minimum
Only paying the “minimum monthly payment” keeps you in debt longer and increases interest. Pay more when you can to reduce your debt faster and save on interest.
Cook More For Less
Use what you already have and double up recipes. Save leftovers for the next day and reduce how often you need to shop—saving money on both food and fuel.

Make Your Presents
Gifts don’t have to be expensive. Handmade presents show care and creativity, and they help you stay within budget during special occasions.
Write A Shopping List
Going shopping without a list often leads to impulse buys. A shopping list keeps you focused and helps you stick to your budget.
Turn Off Lights Before Leaving
Lights left on while you’re away only benefit the electricity company. Turn off lights when leaving to avoid wasting money and energy.
Wash Your Hands Regularly
Good hygiene saves money! Regular handwashing helps prevent illness—saving you medical costs and days off work.
Eat Home-Cooked Meals
Takeaways are convenient but expensive. Cooking at home is healthier and much more affordable in the long run.
