In today’s troubled economic times, absolutely everyone,
regardless of age, needs to be focused on
retirement planning and saving for the future. While there’s definitely
something to be said for having a savings account and a retirement fund, making
small changes in your daily habits can also have a major impact.
One of the biggest money-wasters for today’s people is
dining out at restaurants, and while you could give up eating out altogether,
where’s the fun in that? To save money without giving up delicious food, just
follow a few simple tips.
To start with, never order soda. A simple soda can cost
anywhere from 1 to 3 (or more!) dollars at the average restaurant. By opting
for non-bottled water, you can save money and get healthier.
Also, if you must eat out, try going out for lunch instead
of dinner. Lunch prices tend to be a lot lower than dinner prices, and the
portions are usually only slightly smaller than what you’d get in the later
hours.
As you can see, there are many ways to (quite literally!)
have your cake and eat it too. Don’t give up something you love. Just do it
smarter and keep the big picture- your future- in mind each time you make a
decision about where to go or what to order.
