Quick wins for your bank account

Tracking what you’re spending money on might mean you uncover hidden traps, easy ways to save or even make some extra money.


  • Look for hidden fees like paying to receive a bill in the mail when you could have it paperless for no cost, and non-essential items or unused memberships. These are the things you can easily cut back or cancel straight away.
  • Check your super accounts registered with the Australian Tax Office – if you have more than one, roll them together and save money on fees.
  • Make the most of free entertainment and streaming services available and if you do have paid subscriptions, it can be useful to do an inventory of streaming services every couple of months and unsubscribe from those you no longer use, or cycle through services.
  • Save your bottles, containers and cans for extra pocket change. Visit Containers for Change to learn how.
