Finding Ways to Invest More

If you’re like many of us, you may be looking for ways to save a little more for retirement. Often though, you might not know where extra money would come from.

Knowing where to look

There are lots of everyday ways to find a few extra dollars to contribute to your retirement. Here are a few to consider:

• Pack your lunch – When you create economical meal options, you could save money compared to dining out every day.
• Let a new car purchase stall – Imagine how much more you could contribute if you don’t have a car payment.
• Buy and sell used on the Internet – If it doesn’t have to be brand new, shopping the Internet can be a real money-saver, but be careful not to buy things you don’t need.
• Stop paying for what you don’t use – Save money by reducing talk-time and data use, or removing premium movie channels you rarely watch.
• Carpool – You can save money on gas and reduce wear-and-tear on your car.
• Avoid late fees – Pay bills on time. Consider using a bank’s automatic bill-paying service to help.
• Save on credit card finance charges – You can save a lot if you can afford to pay the full balance every month.
