After you’ve had a few kids, it’s easy to feel self-conscious about your looks, even though it’s probably all in your head. Facelift surgery will help you feel more attractive, but I doubt you have the cash lying around.
If you want surgery within 2-10 years, you’ll need to start saving for it now. Here are a few cool ways to boost your savings every month. Even though it will feel like a long hard slog, you’ll get there in the end.

1. Spend A Night Thinking About It
You should wait at least 24 hours before buying anything. Not only will you stop buying expensive products you don’t really need, but you won’t waste money on random little things you pick up at the supermarket.
You’ll put extra items in your basket when running into the store to pick up milk, but what happens if you can’t buy them until the following day? All those small purchases add up over time if you’re not careful.
2. Start Focusing On Free Activities
You don’t need to waste lots of money when spending the day with your kids. It’s sometimes more enjoyable doing things that don’t cost anything. Do you remember going on treasure hunts in the woods when you were young?
Camping is perfect if you want to keep everyone occupied for the entire weekend. Spend the day at the beach if your children love swimming. If you look online, you’ll find a massive list of free activities in your area.
3. Take Your Family On A Road Trip
A facelift costs from $15,500 to $20,500, so don’t spend thousands on a foreign vacation. You’ll probably have a lot more fun going on a road trip. It’s something your kids will remember for the rest of their lives.
If you plan the route carefully, you won’t need to drive long distances. Extra stops are great because your children won’t get bored, and you’ll spend less on gas. Feel free to drive home if you go over your budget.
4. Don’t Put Anything On Your Card
It’s easy to hand a cashier your card when buying groceries because it’s a small piece of plastic. I doubt you feel the same way when handing over cash, which can be used to your advantage if you want to save money.
If you keep your cards in a drawer, you won’t be tempted to use them. You’ll be forced to spend cold hard cash when you want to purchase something. It also means you can’t waste money if you run out of physical notes.
5. Move Money Into A Special Account
Transfer your money into special savings account a day before you get paid. If the money isn’t sitting in your main account, you’ll be less tempted to spend it. You’ll be surprised by the balance after a few months.
It’s not a good idea if you struggle to live on your monthly income. You’ll just waste time moving money between accounts every month. Spend a while finding a way to live within your means before utilizing the tactic.
Try To Make Money Online
It could take years until you’re able to afford surgery unless you have a good income, so think about trying to earn money online to speed things up.
