Decluttering and Getting Organised Can Save You Money
Written by Isi Dixon
In this day and age everyone you speak to talks about saving money, spending less, watching the pennies.
Getting organised and decluttering can actually help with that. “But how can I save money by getting rid of my stuff?” I hear you ask.
Here are 6 ways how you can save by decluttering:
- by going through your stuff and weeding out all you really don’t need, you will come across all those things you thought you had lost or misplaced. You now won’t have to buy them again – MONEY SAVEDrn- you might find some items that you don’t really like but that might be worth a bit of money. You can sell those items on Ebay, Amazon or at a car boot sale – MONEY EARNEDrn- you find you have multiples of items, some maybe even unused, with the tags still attached. Again, you can sell those. – MONEY EARNED
- Once everything is organised and has its place, items won’t so easily get broken. So there is no need to replace them – MONEY SAVED
- By going through piles of unopened mail you might come across cheques you can cash. This could be money back from utility companies or the taxman for instance. – MONEY FOUND!!! - And there is of course always the possibility that you find money in pockets, bags, purses, between sofa cushions, etc. And that will also add up. – MONEY FOUND!!!
And an additional 3 ways of saving money because you have your finances organised: - you will no longer have to pay late fees or interest for overdue bills because you have a system in place to pay your bills on time – MONEY SAVEDrn- by regularly going through your credit card and bank statements and cross checking with your cheque book you will find out about irregularities and you can claim money back if it was illegally taken from your account. – MONEY SAVEDrn- having systems in place to make use of money saving coupons rather than finding them months or years after they have expired – MONEY SAVED
With all that money you could save, what are you waiting for? Start getting organised and the watch the money grow!

Email Is Dangerous!
