Saving money feels like a constant task, but what if there was one step you could take to cut costs on things you already use? We often think of monthly expenses like rent and car insurance as fixed but with a little negotiation, you can save serious money. Companies and employers alike are open to talking, just make sure you ask the right questions!
This infographic from Self Lender highlights 11 surprising things you can negotiate to cut costs and add value to your life.
Negotiate to improve your situation, whether it’s your financial security or general well-being. Whatever is important to you, make sure you’re earning what you deserve.
Negotiate at work: If you’re feeling undervalued at work, negotiate a higher salary and work in benefits like work from home flexibility or daycare reimbursement.
Negotiate monthly expenses: Review your monthly expenses and make some calls to see if you are getting the best deal for your situation. From credit card interest rates to your cable bill, you could save some money for being a loyal customer.
Negotiating can be nerve-racking but with practice and confidence, you can master the skill in a variety of situations. Remember that both sides are working towards a mutually beneficial solution and that at worst, the answer is just a simple “no.” To prep for your negotiation, do your research and evaluate other alternatives—both positive and negative.
