5 Budget-Friendly Ideas for Reducing Your Cost of Living


Listen Later

There's two things you can do in a cost-of-living crisis! Reduce expenses or increase income. Stewart sent us a message to ask for our best ideas - so we've hit up our shortlist!


So Bryce and Alec go through their best ideas of each. To reduce expenses, you need to focus on the significant line items on your budget. The most substantial line items on the budget for Australian households include housing (20-35% on average), food, recreation/culture/transport, insurance/financial services, and health. So! Bryce goes through these line items and the guys chat about their best ideas.
