Wondering who to follow in the big wide world of Twitter? There are plenty of great Twitterers out there tweeting about money, debt, and finance– the topics we know you love. So every other Tuesday we’ll be highlighting a Twitterer to follow. This week we’re turning the spotlight on @ShiftYourHabit.
The Twitter account @ShiftYourHabit is actually operated by New York Times Bestselling author Elizabeth Rogers. Her new book Shift Your Habit is available in bookstores now. The idea is simple– Rogers believes that saving money and saving the earth go hand in hand. She offers hundreds of tips that will significantly cut your costs and your carbon footprint at the same time. She offers up plenty of these tips on a regular basis through her Twitter account.
Many of the money tweeters out there only provide general tips, but you’ll quickly see that @ShiftYourHabit is different. Just about every money saving suggestion comes with a dollar amount. So you can see how quickly shifting your habits will make a big impact on your budget. You’ll see how simple tasks (disabling half the bulbs in your multi-bulb fixtures) can save you more than small change ($90 in a year!). And that can be a big challenge for those of us looking to cut our spending. It’s hard to see the big picture when we’re talking about cutting out our $4 lattes because, after all, it’s only $4. But by making small shifts to our habits we can make a big impact financially and environmentally. So take the small step and start following @ShiftYourHabit.
