Now remember, deciding how much to spend on non-essentials (entertainment, dining out, shopping) and how much to put away in your savings can be tricky. Leave your credit cards at home. Remember to put into savings the max you can afford.

If you rarely use your internet at home, you might want to consider using the library’s internet for free instead. For example, if you only check your email once a week (or if you primarily use your smart phone), you can definitely save money by cancelling your home internet services and using the library’s instead. Maybe you have.
