<p>Hello!</p><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/61e480a51edf4f1296eb573e74fff19a.jpeg" />​Homeownership is full of ups and downs – all of which cost money. That’s fine, we knew that when we <a href="https://www.homelight.com/homes" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bought our homes</a>. However, when you reach retirement and have a fixed income, those costs can be overwhelming.</p><p>It doesn’t have to be that way though because we have a few tips that will help you cut costs so your golden years are some of the best.</p><h4>1. Downsize</h4><p>Of course, downsizing is one of the first ways you can cut costs. What’s the point of having a huge, costly house if it’s just you? A <a href="https://www.homelight.com/blog/buyer-how-to-pick-a-real-estate-agent/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">real estate agent</a> can help you put your house on the market, get a great price for your home, and even help you find a new place to live – be it buying a smaller house or finding a rental.</p><h4>2. Sell Your Vehicle</h4><p>If you aren’t driving as much as you used to, selling your car can be a big way to cut costs. You don’t have to pay for gas or insurance (nor have a car payment). Think of all that money you’re saving each month. Granted, you may have to pay for public transportation or a rideshare/taxi if you don’t have someone you can ask for help with transportation.</p><h4>3. Opt for Energy-Efficient Upgrades</h4><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/0a8700ca78dd46248adbeef8639a17f8.jpeg" />​If it’s been a while since you’ve updated the appliances in your home (if you’re opting to stay in your home), now is a good time to upgrade to energy-efficient items.</p><p>You can save 20% annually on your energy bill. Plus, if you go one step further and install solar panels, that’s additional savings and could even be a tax break.</p><h4>4. Cut Unnecessary Expenses</h4><p>People have a tendency to stick with a service provider for years just because they don’t want to deal with the hassle of canceling one account and finding a new service provider with better rates. We don’t want confrontation and it’s just… easier. Well, sticking with your expensive cellphone provider, cable package, and even medical coverage is costing you a lot of money!</p><p>Save your money and make those calls! You might be surprised by how much money you can save simply by cutting unnecessary expenses in the form of overpriced service providers.</p><h4>5. Use Those Senior Discounts</h4><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/1652a76488644ff79655a54415669a91.jpeg" />​Senior discounts exist for a reason! You’ve done your time, paying full price for goods and services, so why not take advantage of senior discounts where they’re offered?</p><p>You can save when you visit restaurants, grocery stores, travel destinations, movie theaters, and more. If you’re a veteran, that’s an additional perk you can use to increase your savings!</p><p>You don’t have to pay a lot of money when you’re on a fixed income. As a retired homeowner, you have the unique ability to cash in the equity in your home and use those funds to buy a smaller home (or rent). When you pair the sale of a home with some of these other tips, your golden years should be a little less stressful.</p><p>Thank you! Join us on social networks! See you!</p>
