Financial Tip Of The Day
Pre-Game
Let’s face it, drinks and food when you go out can be expensive, so why not do it before you go out? As long as you aren’t the driver have a few drinks before the club, this way you don’t have to go broke at the bar. Get one or two lighter (less expensive) drinks when you get there and just coast for the rest of the night.
