Everyone loves to save money. With modern technology, it has never been easier! Saving money is always a good thing and has many benefits that go beyond just the financial aspect of life. If this sounds like something that interests you, then keep reading about some of the amazing tech out there today that will help you save some serious cash!
Energy-saving lightbulbs
Everyone knows that these are cheaper to run than conventional bulbs, but what you might not realize is how much money they can save you. A single 60 watt incandescent bulb running for 14 hours a day will cost you about $4.80 per month ($55/yr). The same lightbulb operating on an energy-saving lightbulb will only cost you $1.25 per month ($15/yr). The savings amount to an annual saving of $40, which can buy you a couple of cups of coffee at Starbucks each year!
Smart thermostat
These thermostats can reduce your electricity bills by as much as 40% and they’re not too expensive. Some cost as little as $70 and have more features than you can ever dream of using. There are some that cost as much as $250 but the savings they will give you will quickly make up for their price difference!
Solar panels
These beauties can save you a small fortune on your electric bills. They’re great for those who live in areas with lots of sun and typically pay high electricity bills. In fact, these will not only pay for themselves but also make a good profit as more energy is fed back into the grid than consumed from it.
Budgeting apps
These apps can track your incoming and outgoing expenses, so you always know what you have left to spend. They also allow you to set limits on how much you want to be spending each month which is great for keeping yourself, or your kids, in check with spending habits!
There are some amazing budgeting apps for your bills. Take Deferit, for example, they even have a BNPL service where they pay your bill for you and you pay it back later. This is super handy if you need to make ends meet. Make sure you find an app or site that really lets you keep in control of your money.
Hybrid vehicles
Hybrid vehicles help you save more money than more conventional cars like your average Camry. If you happen to live in an area where the cost of fuel is high, then these savings could really add up. Did you know that if everybody did this, it would be equivalent to taking every car off the road in America for 3 months!?
Leak detectors
You might not know this, but you can save up to 10% on your water bill by using a leak detector. Most people have these in their homes now because it really is well worth looking into. Especially if you’re spending over $40 per month on your utilities!
