Being a homeowner is such a great achievement.

• And I was over the moon when I accomplished this before my 31st birthday.

My parents had always taught me to be frugal with my spendings ever since I was 6 and started getting an allowance. They’d say if I wanted something big or expensive, I had to save for it. So, I would use only a little of the money and put the rest aside to buy what I wanted. This went on even when I got my first job at 14 years old. I was even able to pay for half my car when it was time to get one at 16. As an adult, I’ve come to learn the importance of saving money. This is why I’m always finding ways to minimize my living expenses which includes bills. I do live a comfortable life so this isn’t about not having fun and enjoying myself. But, I am not extravagant and would rather save money to use for different projects. One area I’ve been trying to save money is when using my HVAC system. See, heating and cooling is important, but it can also cost so much. Heating and cooling systems are expensive to purchase. Then, this is followed by high energy bills when using them at home. Thankfully, I have come to learn a few tips to help lower my energy costs, especially during summer and winter. By far, the most helpful way is to set my thermostat and leave it at that. Changing the settings frequently usually results in high energy costs. Next, I am diligent about HVAC maintenance which ensures the HVAC system is efficient.
