As technology evolves, so too can your savings strategy.
Learning Tools and Sustainable Materials are among the others.
Holding off for an improved item or upgrade can result in extra that can be put to good use. Or an investment in self improvement leads to a more manageable process as savings grow

Over consumption comes with it's problems.
Environmental impact (waste)
Clutter in your space
Or an immediate cost and irredeemable expense.

You can increase productivity by reducing consumption.
Free up space and benefit your wallet.

Interesting article I found online mentions a strategy for managing possessions and staying afloat.

Equilibrium. Item in - Item out.
You buy a new item? Sell another.

#FOMO The fear of missing out. We are presented with many of these opportunities on the daily. It's important to step back, research and reflect - before we make decisions.

Everyone has heard of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Not to forget Return. But there is more...

- Upcycle is to transform old items into something of higher value

- Repurpose is to find new uses for items without major changes

Both are collective terms/topics that can assist in savings.

It can take a large investment. Or it may take a clever investment to ensure you are future proof.

This holiday season, be kind to yourself and others!
Give yourself something back.
Something that is future proof.

Excess garlic, ginger or potatoe peels can be used for composting. By the week, you can collect a lot. And enough for a thriving garden.

In some areas, it will take longer to drive to a destination than to cycle.
Comparatively, the cost is also lower.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement
@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Kindle Unlimited is an excellent addition to my app suite, without it I would incur late fees from the local library or add to my half-read/to-be-read pile. 📖

Managing savings becomes easier... even when torn between the two pillars: Wants and Needs. Simply focus on essentials, view over-achieved earnings positively - to build a practical and effective savings profile #savings #perspective
