Since we all do savings, I thought that it would be best to discuss those 3 surprising ways of saving money with you. After all, we're in the same boat, right? Once you read the article completely, leave your comment below to share which way you are going to use to do savings. ;)

# 1 - Stay up late at night!

The electric charges are high during peak hours. We all know that majority of people work in the day. According to EnergyStar's information, the average electric bill of a single family in the US is around $2,200 per year. There's a way to save around $200 to $300 yearly. How?

Since we know that electric charges are high in peak hours, we also know that they charge quite less at night especially when everyone is sleeping. So, it might be a great idea to become an owl and save $200 to $300 yearly! That will help you eat some pizzas next year. hehe!

# 2 - Own a Smartphone and Save big!

You might be scratching your head that what the hell this can be, right? But well, it is true. Owning a smartphone can help you save a load of money but how? Well, if you have an old school cell phone, can you use the internet? No. That's how you are missing the point.

Owning a smartphone means you have internet access almost all the time. According to reports, an average American spends up to $10k per year on foods, entertainment, and services etc. If you have access to the internet through your smartphone, you can use many coupons online and buy things at the right time with a decent discount.

According to the studies of Aarp.org, you could easily save 15% to 20% every year. Now assume that how much 20% means per year on $10k? That's roughly $2k savings per year.

# 3 - Claim warranty before you get *ucked up!

Trying to be over-smart only leads to failure and more cost than before. It is better to realize that you are an idiot in that field and know nothing instead of ruining the things yourself and then cry later that how you got *ucked up. A wise person takes the timely decision and that's how he saves a lot of money every year.

Some people think that attempting to solve the machine by themselves will make them save enough (when they know nothing about the machine) and ruin the product just to hear from the company that "Sorry, you fucked this product yourself, you should have brought it to us as soon as you noticed the problem". In real life, Apple iPhones are the best example. You must not touch the hardware otherwise your warranty will be voided. And if it happens, you're going to lose straight $150.

Solution? Just admit that you are not freaking genius, dude.

Final Words:

So, these ways can help you to save approximately $3,000 a year. It's a decent amount of money, right? You can do savings for your future retirement and hey, please don't take any offense. The jokes were intended just for laugh. The first method of staying up late at night sounds crazy. But if I'd tell you that its exactly what I do! hehe. Don't get it wrong, I don't do it for savings (we don't have such an elastic electricity charges in Pakistan, they charge flat fee per unit used, no matter if there was congestion or the hours were off-peak)
