You need tools to help you invest.

We all want to save as much money as we can, to give ourselves a stronger financial future and a better life. But to do that without taking up too much precious time, we need to prioritize on the actions that we take. ~Jo from More Money Tips
Jo Ana’s top tip is to snag free stuff whenever you can. You can let your coworkers know that you’re always looking for free stuff and that you welcome hand-me-downs. You can also utilize programs like Freecycle or a “buy nothing” group. If you can’t get the item you need for free, check to see if you can borrow it from a friend. Finally, if you can’t get it free or borrow it, see if you can get it second-hand. Beyond utilizing free items whenever possible, you can also try to save money on groceries and utilities.
