🌎 We have a dozen win-win strategies and tips for saving money during your retirement years while helping to leave a better planet for the next generation at the same time:
Today’s preretirees and retirees face several financial challenges in addition to concerns about the world we leave our children and grandchildren, as described in the first part of this series. To face these challenges, we’ll need to make many small, medium, and large steps in our lives that will improve our finances while helping to improve our communities and future generations as well.
If you decide that these areas might not be for you, then you could choose to live year-round in an area that’s out of harm’s way from wildfires, flooding, and extreme temperatures and just vacation at your favorite beach, mountain, or desert community. Green home tip No. 3: Move close to day-to-day retail and service outlets, restaurants, and social settings, if possible. This lets you easily and quickly get your food, entertainment, and enrichment, saving you time and money while reducing your energy consumption.
You don’t need to live on a farm to make this work for you. For example, one family in Pasadena, Calif., harvests three tons of organic food each year from their ordinary suburban home on one-tenth of an acre. While most people may not want to grow that much, you may have an empty corner in your yard that could easily accommodate a vegetable garden or your favorite fruit tree.
Green living tip No. 1: Use your car less by walking or biking to as many places as possible, and you’ll drive down your costs for gas, insurance, and car maintenance. Not only will you save money on transportation, but you’ll get exercise that improves your health as well. Green living tip No. 4. Buy your vegetables and fruits at local farmers markets. Locally grown produce uses less energy for transportation and packaging compared with much of the produce you’ll find in supermarkets. In the process, you could get more exercise by walking through the market, and you might have fun by getting to know the vendors.
