Things to avoid to help increase your savings...
Amazon-
Avoid getting played by amazon that makes you believe that you need a new workout set, new lights, new video games. As tempting as it is, its important to purchase at the same rate as you would prior to social isolation. If you haven't bought your new lights in the last 6 months you probably don't need them.
Online Sales-
Online shops will try to make you think you are saving tons of money, but in reality there is no sale. They've increased their prices and generated discount codes to give you fake discounts on full priced items. You end up saving $0.00 when you come back to the site in a few months you will notice that everything is at "sale price" without the discount codes and SALE signs all over the site.
Do yourself a favour and stay off these sites, save your money and focus on developing your mind and changing your perspective. Come out of quarantine educated and in a surplus of money.
All the best,
