2015 Summer of Savings
In order to produce the podcast and keep content up free for you, I work with partners so this post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure for more info.
I want this summer to be your best ever and while I can't give you all a free family vacation, I can do the next best thing – show you how to save a ton of money!
Let's Make Some Money with a Summer of Savings
Starting next week (June 1st) look for new posts on every Monday and Thursday here on Couple Money on how to jump-start and build up your savings.
Some areas we'll cover:
- Slash your monthly bills
- Master the art of a fun and frugal date night
- Earn more money on the side
My goal for every post is to help you put aside at least $50 from each tip.
I also have an unofficial policy to make sure when you do cut back your spending it's not because you're depriving yourself (so no PB& J lunches for work).
This isn't a financial diet; I want you to be able to use these tips beyond the summer.
If you want to boost your savings even more, please subscribe to the Couple Money Podcast, I have wonderful interviews coming up!
My hope is that you guys will have a nice sized money stash (27 tips x $50 = $1,350 ) for your family by the end of August.
Date Nights and Family Vacations
Believe it or not, I'm starting off the summer of savings with nights out and vacations. Because I don't think that saving money means having less fun.
All through June I'm going to be showing you how you can enjoy relaxing (or thrilling if that's your style) debt-free vacations and getaways. I've been compiling an awesome list of apps, sites, and resources to get the best deals.
If you love discovering and supporting local hot spots, I have some ideas to make your date nights memorable.
Save Some Money, Win Some Money
As an extra bonus to the money we'll be saving, I want to throw in some more money. I'll be doing a contest based on the theme of the month. I'll be picking one Couple Money newsletter subscriber, so if you haven't already, please sign-up today!
So for June, share a picture (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) from your own $20 date night (or girls/guys night out) with #20dollardatenight and tag me. I'll confirm you're a newsletter member and enter you for a chance to win $100!
Yep, $100.
More details and everything will be up in the newsletter next week. Don't miss out!
