要攒些私房买个袋鼠“大豪斯”,所以必须少买些手机,少看两场电影,少吃点烧烤龙虾,少走几个南太平洋小岛,总之,能省就省。但瘦咖狗猫 (SoCat Global Market) 觉得,其实要从身边小事做起。
Bankrate.com, a leading aggregator of financial information, suggests six everyday expenses are likely to drain your bank account:
1 Coffee. Brewed coffee costs an average of USD1.38 a cup, per the National Coffee Association. If you make a habit of buying a cup every weekday morning, you'll end up spending more than USD350 a year.
2 Bottled water. A 20-ounce bottle of Aquafina water costs around USD1, says Bankrate.com, which means a bottle-a-day habit will run you USD365 a year.
3 Buying lunch. If you spend USD9 a day on lunch every workday, your annual bill will come out to over USD2,000.
4 Abandoned gym memberships. The average monthly fee for a gym membership is USD35 to USD45, says Costhelper.com, which means your unused membership may cost up to USD480 a year.
5 Cigarettes. According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, the average cost of a pack of cigarettes is around USD4.50 in the U.S. If you smoke a pack a day it will cost you roughly USD1,600 a year.
6 Alcohol. Prices for alcohol vary so much that it's hard to accurately estimate the cost, but consider this: If you indulge in two USD4 beers a day, you'll spend USD2,920 a year. Add a tip of USD1 per drink and you're looking at USD3,650.
