TIP #1: PROTECT YER BOOTY

No way yer gonna hornswoggle any good seadog out of his hard-earned treasure. (Translation: Pirates went to great lengths to protect their valuables.) If a crew was lucky enough to plunder some doubloons, they were willing to risk their lives defending it.

Going to battle over every penny spent might be a little bit overboard, but you can’t go around wasting money all willy-nilly. Keep yer good eye on yer bank account, and be sure ye keep yer spending habits in shipshape order. Here’s some useful info on how to save money every day.

TIP #2: FOLLOW YE MAPS

That hidden treasure isn’t gonna unbury itself! Even the most reckless, swashbuckling, scallywag of the sea still uses a map. Any pirate worth his salt knows you need a plan.

Same principle applies to yer finances – without a plan, yer not going anywhere. Take some time to map out your financial voyages by learning how to create a budget, so ye can start stacking up yer coins.

TIP #3: SALE, HO!

Well shiver me timbers, when ye see a good sale you better be prepared to pillage! A true pirate NEVER pays full price. Truth be told, he normally doesn’t pay at all – but if he had to, he’d be sure to find a good bargain.
