Lifehacks series featured seven days of tips and tricks to change your life

SEVEN days of savings that will change your life has come to a close, but the tips and tricks are all still here to get you on your way.

WHO would have thought that seven days could change your life and save you thousands of dollars? Well that is precisely what we delivered here at Moneysaver HQ with our Lifehacks special series.

Sunday: Mortgage

Sunday’s launch saw us detail everything you need to know about your mortgage; most importantly how to get your lender to drop your interest rate and slash years and tens of thousands of dollars from your total loan term.

We also gave you a play by play script for what to say when you call for a better deal.

Monday: Energy

When it comes to energy retailers, you hold all the power and we showed you how to prove to your energy provider that you need the best deal they can offer and save a packet in the process.

Kochie also weighed in with some tips on cutting energy costs with living habits at home.

Wednesday: Cars

Motorists are being taken for a ride by fuel companies, but we showed how to fight back by using technology and keeping an eye on price cycles.

Expert motoring writer Joshua Dowling detailed how to get the best price on a new car, while Kochie showed how to save thousands every year on running costs.

Thursday: Credit cards

Aussies have racked up record credit card debt, so we showed how to stop the rot and get your finances back on track.

We taught you how to be a transactor and not a revolver that gives extra money to the bank. Plus Kochie revealed his five golden rules for using credit cards.

Friday: Super

Disengagement with superannuation has become a critical issue as Aussies live longer and longer, but Lifehacks outlined how to assess what you need from a nest egg and meet that target.

We featured extra contributions, free money from the government and when to take investment risks.

Saturday: Career and income

The final day of Lifehacks is all about career and income, so tune in for how being an overachiever can help get a promotion or wage increase, even when the economy has slowed.

We show you seven steps to positioning yourself for more money, how to negotiate better conditions when more money is off the table and Kochie explains how to maximise your chances of a better deal at work.

We also explain how to locate your lost or unclaimed money.
