Too often, people (myself included) focus on cutting small expenses from their budget instead of going after big financial wins. We've all heard how dropping Starbucks lattes and avocado toast from our daily routine is the solution to paying off tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt or building a million-dollar investment portfolio. Yes, making these kinds of changes can help, but they won't have as significant an impact as learning how to save money on your biggest monthly expenses.
In this episode, you'll learn how to save money on the Big 3 Expenses. Generally, the Big 3 Expenses, or the three largest expenses for a household are:
Housing
Transportation
