Tip for keeping more of your paycheck

Here's one way to keep more of your paycheck and keep your weight down too!

If you are working in an RV office or at an employer where snacks or sodas are available, make up your mind that these are off limits. Leave your money in your RV. Bring a bottle of water and perhaps some healthy snacks like nuts or carrot and celery sticks as an alternative. Your wallet will appreciate it and so will your waistline.

Sip your water throughout the day and you'll feel less like eating. If you have extra time at lunch, take a walk instead of staying around food, especially food you can purchase. You'll feel more energetic for the second part of your shift. Employee lunches, available in some resort areas, may be inexpensive, but you can probably eat for less in your RV and choose foods with less starch. If you eat at your place of work, brown-bag-it.
