Saving money is Earning Money part 1

It has been about two months since I updated my blog, well my laptop was really damaged that a new motherboard is needed. I decided to buy a new one despite the fact that I love that laptop. I intend to buy a motherboard in the future because I want to revive it.

Anyway, my article today is to help my readers realize the importance of saving money. Of course all of you know that it is a good habit to save money. If you know how to save money, you will earn more by cutting the reason why you spend money. Saving money is not just about not buying what is unnecessary or not using credit cards. It's more than the actual cash itself.

So here are few tips on how to save money:
1. Save money by  avoiding wasting of food. Last week, I read an article about food wastage. According to the article, hundreds if not millions of tons of food are being thrown in the garbage. Millions of dollars are just thrown into the garbage. So, why am I saying this? It is time for all of us to stop and think more about wasting food.

When you go to restaurants and fast food chains, do you finish all your food or do you just throw them away? Everytime I go to fastfood chains like MCdo, Jollibee, and many more, I noticed that almost all tables which full of uneaten food. The fastfood crew will just put them in a container and throw them away.  These people will spend $50 on their order and half of it will be thrown away.

Now, for you to earn more money you need to cut your budget in buying food whether from the super market or from the restaurants. (This tip is ofcourse obvious but some do not realize this fact.) Buy small amount of food that you can finish. If you are buying bulk purchases, research ways in proper storing to avoid it from spoiling. Do not just throw them away. Imagine buying a kilo of cabbage worth $3, you forgot to eat it and when you discovered it, its already spoiled. So, you throw away $3 from your pocket. In buying

Also, in eating dinner outside, order small amounts if you are not hungry. And if you are hungry, start by ordering a few dish and if it is insufficient by another small dish.  This way, it is sure that you can finish it and you will end up buying what you need. Imagine buying a large meal for $20, then you were not able to finish it and ate only a half of it. Its like throwing away $10!

My point is, waste not. Do not buy excessive food only to throw it away. Learn how to store food properly and buy only those which you can consume.

By saving on food, you are also saving the planet. It is because the plastic containers used in these food are being thrown away and they tend to add more garbage problem. Also the energy used in producing them is high. Cows, chickens, and fertilizers are used in making food. Cows and chickens produce dungs and these dungs produce carbon gases. Imagine thousands of cows, chickens, and pigs producing these things, how many carbon dioxide are produced? Because of high demand of these animals, producers would raise more of these to meet the demand. However, half of the so called demand goes to the trash bins.
