In reply to J. Money. Well we are landlord and I figured if we can do long term rentals why not a short term :)

Oh sweet – I don’t follow your other site so I actually didn’t know you had already shared your thoughts in that review – thanks!
I actually got started with investing by using Robinhood since September, at the recommendation of one of my classmates. I found it really accessible for someone super new to investing (and definitely utterly clueless), and it really got me interested in actually doing that (more logically/profitably and less on a whim, haha). So that’s where I’ll be funneling in my extra cash for now, until I am no longer a student and have an actual job that might provide enough extra for a proper size portfolio of more long term holdings.

This is pretty modest, but it’s recent. My favorite magazine came up for renewal earlier this month – $67.50 for a year’s subscription. I remember thinking, “It would be awfully nice if I could get it cheaper.” I was supposed to pay in three installments, but they sent an invoice for the entire amount. I went to the website to pay by credit card and found out that I could get a year’s subscription for $25, two years for $34! I signed up for the two year subscription. From now on, I’ll always go to a magazine’s website to see if I can get a better deal.

Our company changed our health insurance benefits which surprisingly reduced the cost to me. Instead of pocketing the extra $10 a month I upped my retirement withholdings. Investing that extra cash will benefit me more than an extra cup of coffee a month.

We saved $1,000/year by cutting cable bill in half!! We were paying Comcast $180/month previously for a combined “bundle” of internet & cable with over 200 channels. In March 2016, we cut our bill to $90/month by siginificantly reducing the number of channels to just basic channels. Then we paid Sling $20/month to actually sign up for channels we actually watched. In March 2017, I called Comcast & further reduced our bill to just $70/month as I had to tell them that I was ready to switch to Direct TV!! What a NICE SAVINGS on a nuisance bill…cable!!
