Before you take the leap and launch your own start-up business it is worth setting aside some extra money to see you through those difficult early days. In this final episode, we share some simple tricks to help you save a bit of cash at home
Let's face it, winter is expensive. Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's Eve, not to mention the cost of heating up your house. Here are 5 easy tips on how to save money on your energy bill.
With fuel prices skyrocketing all over the world, efficient driving is now more important than ever, the key to economising fuel. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), this measure can help reduce fuel consumption by between 6% and 12%. That’s why an expert from SEAT S.A. has come up with 7 efficient driving tips to save on fuel and spare your wallet.1. Drive smoothly. Sudden speed changes, like quick acceleration or hard braking, increase fuel consumption. 2. Switch off the engine when stopping for long periods. If you keep the engine running when your car isn’t moving, the engine overheats and fuel consumption increases. 3. Maintain a constant speed. Changes in speed affect fuel consumption, so it’s preferable to maintain the same speed as long as the flow of traffic and the road allow. 4. Use the engine brake. “Whenever possible, try to stop gently by taking your foot off the accelerator, to take advantage of the opposite pressure that the transmission on the engine, before pressing the brake pedal” Ángel advises. 5. Air conditioning or lower the windows? Air conditioning is one of the non-driving factors that consumes the most fuel, between 4% and 10% according to the IEA, while lowering the windows at medium and high speeds creates a drag effect: air enters the car and generates aerodynamic drag that slows it down and makes the engine work harder to keep up.6. Keep an eye on your tyre pressure. This is a key safety aspect, but it also affects efficient driving. 7. Plan your route. A planned itinerary is vital for saving money. Unforeseen events, having to stop for traffic jams or getting lost on unfamiliar roads can make your trip unnecessarily long, and consequently, increase fuel consumption.

Business Insider contributor Jannese Torres-Rodriguez was laid off from a job she hated in 2014. But it was a blessing in disguise. While unemployed, she began monetizing her food blog to pay off her student loans. Growing her business netted her $167,000 in just a few years. Now, if you want to build your own digital side hustle, you don't half to reinvent the wheel. Sites like Etsy and Podia provide sophisticated platforms to sell digital content, and have built-in user interfaces. Likewise, social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram can help you advertise and validate your service or product-based business. Don't want to sell anything at all? In that case, build wealth by providing content that gets a ton of traffic, and embed ads and affiliate links in your copy. That way, you can build a passive income stream that earns money 365 days a year.
It's very simple: if you smoke tobacco or cannabis, vape, or chew tobacco, you will pay more for life insurance. The US Surgeon General says 16 million Americans have a smoking-related disease. Smoking-attributable healthcare spending costs over $170 billion per year. According to Business Insider, life insurance premiums are based on your health risk for insurance providers. The effect of nicotine on health is well documented, so smokers are seen as a higher risk for life insurance companies. For example, a twenty-year, $500,000 term policy for a 35-year-old male would cost $27.50 a month if he is a non-smoker, but $102.08 a month if he smokes! If you plan to quit smoking or are in the process of quitting, annual renewable term life insurance is better than a traditional term life insurance policy. Another option for smokers is no medical exam life insurance.
