Hi Tim!

I’ve got the gist! However, what about “cut back”? Does it mean the same?
By the way, as I live in the north of Spain, I wear a jacket at home in the winter so as to save on electricity bill.
The more I read your tips, the more I learn English.

Thanks a lot!

  Hello, Vera! Thank you for your comment and participation here always! Answering your question: Those are related Phrasal Verbs. “To cut back on something” means to “cortar” (reduce the number of) that expense.

Learn to save money is necessary in hard time, especially in Brasil where is hard to earn it, one way to save it is, take a short shower to save on water and electricity, turn off the light bulbs durant the day and let the Windows open blind.
