10 time saving tips for DIYers

Q. Why DIYers?
A. DIYers are motivated to overcome initial hurdles to save time/money in the long run.

  1. Get a network attached storage device
    NAS (Network Attached Storage)
    USB 3.0, 1 TB Hard Drive for a router

  2. Get fast internet (50 Mbps minimum)
    FIOS - Fiber optic
    Cable - Coax cable

  3. Get a local network password manager
    Password Safe

  4. Stay offline; more and instant is not always better.

  5. Get Amazon Prime
    Includes 2 free Kindle book
    Includes same day or 2 day shipping
    Includes music library
    Includes videos
    Includes charity donation
    Includes discount on game pre-orders

  6. Pay bills in batches

  7. Buy in bulk

  8. Cut finance aggregation sites i.e. Mint.
    DON'T make financial decisions using your phone.

  9. Limit to 2 credit cards. Divide, conquer, and profit!

  10. Use 1 computer for 1 specific task
If you are on a extremely tight budget or in debt, these tips do not apply, in that scenario
I recommend paying off the highest interest one first or alternatively paying off the lowest
principal one first.

Good Luck!
