Having a clear understanding of what is important can help you save money. However, we have a number of essential services and products that we use money to acquire yet in we can get them for free. 

Here are four things you might be spending money on but they are also free.

Filing taxes. Every Kenyan is supposed to file taxes once a year as per the Kenya Revenue Authority regulations. However, many Kenyans spend a lot of money hiring individuals to file taxes on their behalf. It is not worth it. You can actually learn how to file taxes on your own and save the extra money to be used.

Avoiding expensive mobile phone operators. Kenya has a number of mobile phone operators. All these operators offer different rates. In saving money, you can scan for the operator that provides free calls and text messages.

Buying books. Reading books is a fun activity. It is important to own your own copies. However, if you want to save money, we have a number of options in place. We have a number of public libraries around where you can go and get your copy for a specified period of time. 

Free online course. It is always good to learn something new. Many people usually pay for school to learn simple tasks. However, with the emergence of the internet, one can get free online courses for free without paying a dime.
