Little Things Mean A Lot
Little Things Mean A Lot

Oh, it’s only a cup of coffee. Just this one album. You probably find that you can easily justify most small purchases by telling yourself that it’s just this once or the item is low cost. But lots of low cost items over time can add up into some fast and furious debt. Imagine if every time you reached into your wallet to splurge, you put that money aside instead.

PerkStreet customers are no strangers to spending smart. The difference is the cash back perks they get for making those smart decisions. So they can reward themselves with that super duper large extra hot four sugar with skim milk coffee, or a great new song by their favorite band, or whatever their hearts desire without having to dip into the rent fund to do it. From where I sit in PerkStreet customer land, those little things sure are adding up to a whole lot of awesome.

How about you? Are you ready to join us in PerkStreet Customer Land? We’d love to see you here.

    Yes, those little things add up! I try to tell people that bank rates function likewise. Sure one percent doesn’t seem like much, but over the long term these thing add up. At http://hugerats.com, we showcase the best CD rates for people who are budget conscious and financially savvy.

    V Nice infographic. Yes it’s amazing the little things day to day soon mount up to significant spend. Be very interesting to see those type of calculations over an average adult lifetime.

    Little things mean a lot when it comes to home economics. Turning off lights and not running the heater when you can put on a sweater seem like petty savings but by not consuming power, you are not only saving on utilities, you are living green as well which is good for the earth. Similarly, you may be able to do more without going out in the car then you thought. Perhaps you can walk to the store rather than drive. Perhaps you can take public transportation for a low cost rather than use up expensive gas and cause more wear and tear on your vehicle. These little things can do a lot to stretch your funds so they are there for the important things.
