496: 24 Money Tips for 2024: How to Save...

BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

If you want to reach financial freedom, knowing how to save money is crucial. Today, Mindy and Kyle deliver some special tips that will help you save on housingfoodtravel, and other common money categories in 2024!

In this final episode of our four-part money tips series, we’re looking to help you improve your quality of life while saving money. Do you pay a premium to live in an expensive city that you don’t have time to explore? Perhaps it’s time to pack up and move to an area with a lower cost of living. Instead, scratch your itch to see the world by using credit cards to travel for FREE!

Is your monthly grocery bill getting out of control? Choose a cheaper store, take advantage of sales, or do “mini” shops that help you eliminate waste. Finally, do you spend a fortune on things like eating out or going to the spa? Learn how you can recreate these experiences at home for a fraction of the cost!

 

In This Episode We Cover

How to save money on groceries with savvy food budget tips

Why you should consider moving to an area with a lower cost of living

Creating “at-home” experiences that put money back in your pocket

How to improve your quality of life with small but effective upgrades

Building the healthy habit of charitable giving (and how to plan your donations!)

Choosing a FIRE goal that gives you “enough” money to support your lifestyle

Traveling for FREE by racking up credit card rewards

And So Much More!
