Brands
Having a budget is very important if
you want to properly plan your finance. However, when preparing the budget,
there are some items or things that feature in it that you can do without. In
line with this, Jumia Travel shares some of the things in your budget you can
do without. If you get rid of these items, you will be able to save more.
Cable television
subscription
The homes you visit in Nigeria, you
will find pay TV because it is now quite affordable. However, if you are cash
strapped or you want to save some money, you should strike out pay TV
subscriptions. In fact, you may discover that, except you own a generator, your
subscription may run out without you enjoying it due to power shortage.
Eating out
If you reside in Lagos, you are most
likely to eat out because you don’t have too much time on your hands. You may
also consider the time you spend in traffic. So, eating out is one of the
attractive options. But do you know that when you frequent one of the best
hotels in Lagos to eat you will soon be cash strapped? Hence, try as much as
possible to cook sometimes.
Gym memberships
You may not need to be a registered
member of a gym if you planning to shed some weight. Not because you don’t have
time, it is because there are other important things to do with cash. As an
alternative, you may join your friends to jog every weekend.
Lavish Vacations
It is great to go on vacation to Obudu
Cattle Ranch and stay in one of the best hotels in Calabar. Of course, you know
that you cannot afford this expensive getaway but you still went anyway. You
can plan a simple vacation to Olumo Rock in Abeokuta or a picnic at Elegushi
beach in Lagos.
Shopping
expenses
With nearly everything on the high side
both online and offline, you have to cut down your shopping expenses. From
groceries to clothes and electronics, you should consider reducing the money
expended on these items.
Gifts
You have a party to attend this weekend
but you cannot afford huge gifts but you still budgeted for it. Remember that
life continues after the wedding. You should buy a simple gift and move on.
