Ever wondered why your money is running out so quickly, or why you’re not able to reach your savings goals? I’ve outlined 5 obvious but easy ways that people tend to spend money on the most. I also offer tips on what you can do to minimize your expenses in these 5 ways so that you can better meet your savings goals. You may end up auditing yourself and your own expenses after reading through these:

  1. Takeaway Coffees

One of the easiest ways to spend money on a daily basis is buying takeout coffees, especially if you work in an office! I used to work in a corporate office, where daily coffees were a must. Colleagues would make a trip to a nearby cafe every morning before 9 am for a latte or cappuccino. And I mean every single morning! Personally, I only joined them on a couple of instances but I could see how easy and expensive it was to maintain this habit, and I did NOT want it to happen on a daily basis! Instead, I made it more like a monthly treat for me, or when I had to occasionally catch up with colleagues. Otherwise, I would just use the in-office coffee machines. I guess it was easier for me because I don’t drink coffee — but I love a nice cup o’ hot chocolate.
