Ten Ways You Can SAVE BIG
Amazon-exclusive content from Author Elisabeth Leamy
What does it mean to SAVE BIG? It’s any strategy that will save you
more than a thousand dollars in
less than a year. It’s saving a
lot of money on a
few things rather than a
little money on a
bunch of things. It’s the antidote to all that depressing advice we’ve heard for years that we should give up our daily lattes, install low-flow showerheads and pack our own lunches.
Author Elisabeth Leamy is the Consumer Correspondent for Good Morning America--and lives the SAVE BIG philosophy--and even she was surprised at some of the little-known strategies she was able to uncover. Here are some real-life examples from the book:
House: • Page 90: When interest rates go down, use the savings to refinance into a shorter mortgage instead of the kind you have now and save
$103,536.
• Page 84: Appeal your property taxes--only 2 percent of people do-- and save
$2,626.
Car: • Page 126: Buy a “dark horse” car instead of the most popular make and model-- and save
$6,814.
• Page 160: Uncover a “secret warranty” where the dealer fixes flaws for free and save
$1,200.
Credit: • Page 209: Undergo rapid rescoring before finalizing a mortgage and save
$72,000 over the life of the loan.
• Page 218: If you pay your credit card bills bi-weekly instead of monthly, you can short-circuit the bank’s “average daily balance” and save
$1,000.
Groceries: • Page 244: Stockpile groceries when they’re cheap instead of when you need them and save
$5,772 a year.
• Page 265: Bid for groceries at a grocery auction instead of buying them at the store and save
66%.
Healthcare: • Page 299: Take the over-the-counter version of a drug instead of the identical prescription version and save
$1,763 a year.
• Page 320: Enlist a medical billing advocate to fight hospital billing errors and save
$6,858.
How are these jumbo-sized savings possible? Because if you figure out where you
spend BIG, you can SAVE BIG. Our top five costs are: houses, cars, credit, groceries and healthcare. It’s possible to turn your biggest expenses into your biggest source of savings. Author Elisabeth Leamy shows you how. There are $1,176,916 worth of savings in the pages of
SAVE BIG. Grab a latte and read all about it!
