How To Save Hundreds With 3 Steps, According to Ramit Sethi

When paring down a budget, some might think that means eliminating anything fun-especially when there’s debt to pay off. Entrepreneur and author of “I Will Teach You to Be Rich” Ramit Sethi insists that’s not true, even if a consumer has unpaid debt. In a recent video Sethi posted on his Instagram, he said “I believe in living a rich life today and living a rich life tomorrow, even if you have debt.”

His video went on to detail three ways that consumers can find some wiggle room in their budgets. These are methods that Sethi said most people “won’t even miss.” Read on to find out how to find these hidden savings.

Cancel Unwanted Subscriptions

Sethi’s first suggestion was for people to look at their subscriptions and see if there are any they wouldn’t mind canceling-or didn’t even remember they were subscribed to. According to a recent statistic, around 85% of people have at least one paid subscription that they don’t use every month.

This comes out to about $32 a month or almost $400 a year. This could be a tremendous savings that consumers can net without changing their routine at all. Check bank and credit card statements for recurring charges during an entire month to see every subscription, then determine if there are any that can get the boot.

Switch Insurance Carriers

Sethi recommended that individuals call their insurance companies (car, renters’, pet, etc.) and say “I’m shopping around for a better rate. What can you do for me?” If the insurance company is unable to offer a better deal, switch carriers.

Most consumers who had switched carriers in the past five years earned a median savings of $461. It’s a good idea to look into competitors’ rates about every six months or so to make sure you have the lowest price.
