How to Make Money and Increase Your Savings

11. Earn Money by Opening a Bank Account

Just like you can make money by opening a new credit card account, opening a new bank account can also add to your wallet. There are a whole lot of banks in the market that will pay you to open an account with them. In fact, some banks will pay you as much as $250 to open an account with them.

Here is a list of banks that will give you a hefty new account bonus. 

12. Get Rid of Useless Subscriptions

A lot of times we subscribe for something and then forget about it. After all, who will notice a recurring payment of a few dollars? Most of us don’t. While recurring payments work well when we need to reduce our debt or we need to pay bills, it also can be a drain on our finances. A trickle that adds up.

If you can’t keep track of your recurring payments and need some help in ensuring that you don’t lose money through leakage, try the app Trim. All you need to do is sign up and link this app to your bank account(s) and phone number.

The app then analyzes the data and looks for recurring payments. Once Trim finds such payments, it sends you a text and will cancel subscriptions you don’t use or don’t want to keep any more.

We need to stop thinking that big savings or big earnings are the way to go. Once we realize that even small things can add up and make a difference, then we make a change for the better in our lives. So start saving and make money.
