HOW TO SAVE
Stop torturing your account and treat it with care: Start saving.

Saving is not synonymous with making your life miserable. Here are some final tips:
-
Do you really need it?
The first step to saving is to avoid spending on things that you do not need, things that do not bring you any joy or things that you will regret tomorrow.
-
It's not a typo: Do you really need it?
Yeah, we know, we are as annoying as your mum. Now you will say Wallapop this, Vinted that, blah, blah, blah... Stop compulsive buying!
-
If you don't use it, sell it.
Turn your old things into some fresh cash. If you put your mind to it, you'll realise how much you don't use.
-
Whenever possible, carpool.
With your coworkers, with your friends... Your account will thank you and so will the environment.
-
Is it beyond your means?
What you need may be different from what you want. Think about whether it's worth paying more for almost the same thing.
-
Beyond tupperware...
When you go to the supermarket or the market, get into the habit of carrying a list: You will save time and money.
-
200 grammes is better than a kilo.
Buying products loose lets you get just the amount that you need and it will stop you from wasting food in many cases (a big no-no).
