Interest rates are rising, inflation is high, energy prices are skyrocketing and food is more expensive than it has been for a long time.
There are still things you can do to improve your finances and regain control over several areas of your everyday life.
Household Economics:
- Keep track of all your expenses by making a budget
- Pay off expensive and unnecessary loans and collect all your loans and credits in one place
- Renegotiate with the bank about your mortgage
Food:
- Make a weekly grocery list and shop in bulk to avoid impulse purchases
- Buy cheaper food on offer and with short dates
- Prepare lunch boxes
Household Expenses:
- Terminate unused subscriptions
- Compare electricity, broadband and phone contracts
- Reduce electricity consumption
Shopping:
- Compare prices online; Prisjakt is a great tool for this
- Shop second hand
- Think before you go and test buy stops
Transport:
- Take public transport, cycle and walk
- Try carpooling
