With the average American Household having about 15,000 in Credit Card Debt we could all probably use help. Here with advice a personal finance expert who wrote about this topic for cosmo magazine. Welcome. Good to see you both. There are reasons. We know we do it. I guess we should figure out why we do it. One of the scary things is 70 of the country live paycheck to paycheck and 30 of people who make over 100,000. One of the big reasons is social media. When you are on social media for more than five minutes studies show you are likely to overspend from either low selfesteem or confidence. You can see that people will be when you are stressed out like you are trying to make sure your budget is right and you have that stress. But that stress makes you buy more . It makes you spend. Your selfcontrol gets eroded when you are stressed out. You also might think if i get that i will be happier and things will be better. It turns out the opposite is true. Guilt on top of everything else. If you are going to spend money spend it on other people or buy experiences and not stuff. If you carry small bills you spend more. Why is that . If you run around with 1, 5, 10 you break and buy the gum and coffee. If you keep 50 bills and 100 bills you are like i dont want to break them so you keep them. That seems counter intuitive to me. If you get your purse stolen you have hundred dollar bills in there. You say you spend more when we are stressed and when we are relaxed. Im getting stressed right now. Being in a beautiful environment and hearing Classical Music playing, chandeliers, pink marble you might spend more. That is why you shouldnt go shopping on vacation. When people are relaxed and calm and in a great mood not only are they likely to spend more but likely to spend money on things they really dont need. You ever come back from vacation and you unpack and go why did i get that . I buy when im bored. If it is late at night and i cant sleep and the tv is on and i see something and im like dr. Perricone and that looks good so you see the before and after. Boredom . Boredom is a big one when you dont have something to do you find yourself online shopping. They spend a lot of times thinking of ways for you to spend. Bored, happy, sad. There are certain things you can do. One tip i really like and Research Shows it has helped is thinking about your future self. Imagine yourself in your 70s. Some people suggest putting digital renderings of yourself on your credit card or cash card because it helps you press pause and not make the impulse purchase. If you are thinking do i need the pair of shoes or maybe i will save instead. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. The tips and tricks you have sent us for saving money. How to change things up.

We are back with more of today and ways to never pay retail again. Imagine getting an alert when your favorite pair of shoes go on sale or scanning an item in a store. Say good bye to clipping coupons. Here with her favorite money saving trips is in style Magazine Market editor dana avadon kohn. Lets talk about these apps. Shop savvy is all about bar codes. You can walk through the store and scan the product with your phone and it will tell you if a store in the area is carrying it for less. Do they mind that in the stores . The nice thing about that is that it also lets you know if the store is willing to do a price match. A lot of big retailers will actually honor the lowest price you find so you dont have to leave the store. Its okay to walk up to someone like at j. Crew and say they are selling it cheaper here. Certain stores. But Stores Like Walmart want you to do that because they want you to shop at their store. Huckster is the best app to never miss a sale. You select an item and huck the item. When you huck it it notified you the second it goes on sale. It can be as specific as i want to know when it goes 25 or when it goes 50 off. Not only are you getting the sale but the exact price you want to pay. And tell you what store it is in. It tells you where to buy it and you can scroll through the items on your mobile and swipe left if you are not interested and huck the item if you like it. Huck is a verb now. How about shopular. It works with proximity. When you are walking past the store it notifies you if there is an item on sale in that particular store when you are in the area. What is nice about it is it allows you to pick the stores you are interested in hearing about. You are not getting a zillion notifications. Who would want to be bothered all the time . Shop style is a gigantic search engine. It allows you to put in items that you are interested in. Lets say you are looking for a red pump you can put in that item and get all of the red pumps. They work with over 1,000 retailers so you are getting a massive selection. You can refine the search and search by category or brand, store, price. The more specific you are the more the results are going to reflect exactly what you want. My other favorite is that you can put it in Free Shipping because who doesnt want Free Shipping so it only shows items that do Free Shipping. The last one is called honey. This is not an app. What it does is when you are checking out it gives you coupons and promotions right into your shopping cart. So it saves you the time of trolling the deal sites to get the lowest price. You are adorable. From your closet to your crib. How to decorate for less than you thought coming up.

Nice added parks like afternoon cookies and milk. There is a heated pool and free breakfast. It starts at 120 a night. New york city. How do you get us on a budget here . There is so much to do that is free year round people dont know about it. Walking in central park is nice. Last night i walked the high line. I love the high line. This is an elevated park, an urban oasis. There are free activities for all ages including teens, things like star gazing and story telling. The museum of natural history. If you have brought kids there they love it. They will want to spend days there hanging out under the giant blue whale and checking out the dinosaur fossils. And the jane hotel. It is in the west village. Survivors from the titanic once stayed there. You can stay there for a great price. This summer it is 105 and up. Why . How . New york is such an expensive city. Year round the prices at the jane are good. Check it out. Orlando is popular for a family. Theme parks can be expensive. Those ticket prices can be expensive.

And it starts at 102 per night. It is a four night minimum but think about the price of getting into a theme park. It makes sense. Vegas, baby. Vegas, baby is known as a Party Destination but also a family destination. There is a free show called the viva vision light show at the free mont street experience. This is a music and light show that you can actually walk under. You stroll under it 90 feet up in the air, the length of five football fields.
