Purchasing Power

Increasing the purchasing power of your household is a matter of getting more for every dollar you earn. This has more benefits than you might expect, particularly when viewed through the lens of tax analysis. Earning more money increases your tax expenses, but reducing spending has the identical effect of an increase of income without launching you into a higher tax bracket. Stretching your dollars is a multi-faceted process that involves intelligent budgeting, financial planning, a tax strategy and the use of smart money-saving techniques.

Use a cash-back credit card for as many purchases as possible while paying off the balance in full at the end of each month. This is the most straightforward method possible for increasing your purchasing power, as the credit card company covers a portion of your expenses for each dollar you spend on anything. Good credit behavior also improves your credit score, which reduces the costs of your other debts.


Repay debt as quickly as possible to maximize your purchasing power. The longer that you hold debts outstanding, the less power your paycheck will have. If you have debt, it's also very difficult to justify investing in other assets or saving substantial amounts of money. The rate of return is unlikely to compare favorably with debt repayment.


Buy products in bulk to save money. While the savings may seem insignificant in the short run, if you make it a habit, you'll retain more money in the long run.


Maximize your contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts and 401(k) accounts to reduce your tax burden. While this makes it difficult for you to access your money until you get older, if you make those contributions throughout your lifetime, you'll save substantially on taxes.


Spend money on high-quality goods infrequently rather than buying low-quality goods frequently to replace them. For example, cheap clothing tends to wear out quickly. It's often wiser to purchase more durable varieties. Sometimes spending extra on such goods in the short run is sensible.


Avoid spending money on consumer goods and services that aren't re-usable. For example, spending money at restaurants provides limited lasting benefit. High quality furniture can stay with you for a lifetime.
