The one good thing about staying at home all the time is that it's probably easier to keep track of what you're spending your money on. Yes, there are still credit cards and the internet, but things like commuting, taking vacations, or going to concerts are not really options anymore, so you're at least saving there.
Castro suggests making a list of every single monthly expense you have, both fixed costs like rent and utilities and variable costs like groceries or household items. Then, aggressively trim wherever you can. "Cut all non-essentials like music streaming services, that Hulu account you forgot you had, or your gym membership you're unable to even use at this time," she said. "Call your cell phone company, credit card company (if you carry a balance), car insurance agent, and internet provider to see how you can reduce your bills. They may have smaller packages or discounts that match your needs at a lower cost."
