If you have thought about how to keep your income from playing the disappearing act because you hardly can save a substantial amount every month, then you have come to the right place. You don’t have to spend almost all your income because you want to survive and enjoy life. With these tips, you can successfully stretch that small income of yours, enjoy products and services for free and finally start to save. 1. Look out for coupons, promos, products and services on sale: I heard of the story of a single mother who used coupons and promos she could find to send her children through school. Her income alone could not attend to the educational needs of her children plus their other needs so she would go in search for coupons on diapers, buy herself and her children clothes on sale etc. This she kept on doing relentlessly until she celebrated her last child’s graduation. It was tough but she made it happen. Most Nigerians may be oblivious to free products and free services made available by companies, SMEs, banks, newspaper and media houses who are eager to make an impression on you. This is why searching through www.ConnectNigeria.com daily will help you find the coupons, promos, products and services on sale and you can save almost 70% of your income if you keep at it. Presently, there is the summer of SMEs by Connect Nigeria still ongoing where you can win a movie ticket, free recharge card or a gift card every week plus a grand finale gift prize at the end of the summer.

No matter the telecoms service you choose to use, there are deals you can take advantage of on them that will save you a lot of money that you would have spent otherwise. For example, you can get Etisalat’s Closed User Group (CUG) lines which is ideal for family, friends and businesses. At a greatly discounted price every month, you can make free calls to all discounted lines, free SMS to all lines and 20k per second to other networks. All the networks also offer good deals for internet options. To know details about the deals each telecoms provider offer, go to the official website, their social media platforms and search for the information or ask questions. 3. Save money on diesel: I know a company that saved half of the amount spent on Diesel this year because power has become more constant than it was last year. Take advantage of the infrastructures that are improving in the country and free up more of your income for savings. 4. Discipline and accountability: There is no better way to stretch your income than to be disciplined on how and what you spend your income on. A friend of mine keeps a small account book where the amount of money that comes in and the amount of money that goes out is recorded. This way, he can account for how much he spends every month and how much he is able to save every month. Your income is bound to stop growing wings if you follow the four tips above diligently.       About the Writer: Mary Odunuga is a Writer/Reporter for Connect Nigeria and PR/social media handler for Cribpark.
