Tip #24: Cut your commute expenses by 40%

Posted by nculpittBlogNo Comments

Today’s tip is to cut your commute expenses by 40% using two techniques: Carpooling and working from home.

#1: Carpool

We spend incredible amounts of money and time commuting when we could be spending the money on something more useful and spending the time doing something a little more beneficial. Telling you to leave the car at home and ride your bike is ridiculous! Most of us like driving to work because we like having our car handy. And who wants to sit on a smelly train in the middle of summer anyway.

So I propose you try something a different. Try carpooling a couple of days a week. If you work in a large office then the chances are you work with people that live in the same direction as yourself. If you go to the gym, then again, the chances are people live near you.

 This tip is also great to meet new people that share a similar interest as you (work, gym etc).

 #2: Work from home

Oh how I wish! Consider asking your boss to work from home.

The disciplined people amongst us can actually improve our productivity by working at home. We all know it’s quieter at home and we have less interruptions so why not squeeze more work into your already busy working day.

Imagine how impressed your Boss would be if you got more work done in the same amount of time.

Imagine how impressed you would be if you save a little as well.

Total savings $100 to $300
