8 (Easy to Fix) Things You Don’t Realize Are Costing You Money

Having a Low Credit Score:

A low credit score can increase costs on mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards. Improving your credit score can save you money in the long run.

Unused Memberships:

Regularly review your bank statements for recurring charges for memberships you no longer use, like gym memberships, and cancel them.

Not Taking Advantage of 401(k) Match:

Failing to contribute enough to your 401(k) to get the full employer match means you're missing out on free money.

Relying Too Much on Credit Cards:

Habitual credit card use, especially if balances are carried over month-to-month, can lead to significant interest charges. Try to pay off balances each cycle.

Missed Tax Deductions:

Many people miss out on available tax deductions, such as job-hunting expenses, self-employment costs, or medical bills. Consulting a tax advisor can help you take advantage of these.

Using Unneeded Electricity:

"Phantom" electricity use by devices that are plugged in but not in use can add to your power bill.
