Most people want to improve their financial situation. As a rule, they think that the only way to attain the aim is to coin it in, but they forget about saving money. There are many simple ways of increasing the efficiency of personal economy, and we will suggest you several tips on how to save money.

1. Pay back credit card debts. These debts are very expensive, so you should clear them every month. If it is difficult for you, consider alternative methods, like low-cost loans.

2. Buy your own home. Some people are afraid of mortgages and prefer to rent a flat or a house wasting hundreds of dollars a year. Change your old attitude to mortgages.

3. Install a water meter. If you do not have it, most probably, you pay too much for your tap water. Companies supplying water have to make sure that they get profits so their bills can be padded.

4. Save on fuel bills. If you see that your fuel supplier's prices are not reasonable, do not hesitate to change it. There are many advantageous offers on the market.

5. Always make shopping lists. Supermarkets make you spend too much money. They use a number of clever tricks (sometimes called spending triggers). You can resist it by making a shopping list and following it strictly. Never buy something else.

6. Check your phone bills. Do you really need a home phone? Or maybe you keep it from force of habit?

7. Switch over to a profitable mobile package. If you do not use your mobile phone very often, get a pay-as-you-go package in order not to pay for what you never use.

8. Buy own-label brands. Most supermarkets offer own-brand products which can be very cheap.

9. Be strong enough to say 'no'. Your child may be pleading to buy him an expensive toy or some other stuff but you must learn to turn him down.

10. Never renew travel insurance automatically. You can do it right before the next trip.
