Continuing on in the campaign to save money so that you can get out of credit card debt sooner, let us look at numbers 19 and 20 today.
19. Hey! Slow Down! - Looking at that in print brings me vivid memories of my dad and my early teenage driving. Sure, I had a bit of a heavy foot, and I got a speeding ticket or two, but after researching, I find that it can actually save gas: for every 5 MPH you drive (say 65 instead of 70) you can save 7% in fuel consumption. With the driving amount average of 15,000 miles a year it would translate to saving 47.73 gallons of gas a year, or $118.84 per year (and yes, $2,376.80 over 20 years)
20. Lay Off The Brake - (no, that is not a contradiction to number 19) - It is difficult when you have a commute in a major metropolitan district, but riding the brake can cost you by increasing your gas consumption by 35%, not to mention that you will have more wear and tear on your tires. Let us assume that you could save 25 gallons of gas a year, which translates to $62.25 a year, or $1,245.00 over 20 years.
That now brings our savings to be $3,039.62 a year (isn't that a car payment?) or $60,792.49 over 20 years...And we have only just begun.
If you are serious about forever eliminating your credit card debt, you can use Never Surrender!!, a book that I wrote that gives you winning strategies to totally eliminate your credit card debt.
Have a GREAT day!
