Here are a few strategies that have helped me save aggressively and stay focused — some aren’t super popular but can really make a difference over time: • Live off one income (if you’re a dual-income household): This helps build financial discipline and forces you to keep lifestyle inflation in check. • Pause retirement contributions temporarily: It’s okay to hit pause while aggressively tackling high-interest debt — just make sure to come back to it once you’re on more stable ground. • Lower utility and internet costs: Run laundry/dishwasher during off-peak hours and consider switching to cheaper cell plans or even dropping data plans if you mostly use Wi-Fi. • Cancel or share streaming services: Sounds small, but even saving $30–50/month adds up fast when you’re hustling to build a runway.
