With the price of everything rising, chances are, many people are looking for ways to save money.
Personally, over the last few months, I have made some drastic changes, including cutting out coffee because I was spending over $2,000 per year on it.
When I used to spend a few bucks for the cup in the mornings, it didn’t seem like a lot of money. But obviously, over time it adds up. With my daily coffee spending gone, I was able to reallocate some of that extra money and used it for something else. I invested in a Smart thermostat. I made this investment after a recommendation from my HVAC technician. I wanted to know how to save money on my energy bill. And he advised me to get a Smart thermostat, and mentioned that with proper use, I could save upwards of 12% on my energy bill. Plus, he mentioned that a Smart thermostat is easy to program, and it can help to better regulate the temperature in my home. This will of course make it a lot more comfortable for my family. Before he was done telling me all the benefits of having a Smart thermostat, I had already decided that it was a smart investment. Not only will it make my home more comfortable, but in a couple years or so, the thermostat would pay for itself from the savings. For me, that was enough to justify the investment. I will continue to look for other places to cut costs, but at least I know that heating and cooling my home will no longer cost an arm and a leg.
