If you're struggling to pay your monthly bills and wondering how you can start an emergency fund or save for other expensive projects, read on. In other words, where can you find the extra cash to put away for later?
Firstly, when planning your budget, prioritise your savings. You will grow richer each month if you pay yourself first. Before paying any bills, decide on a set amount to pay into your savings account, maybe five or ten percent of your paycheck. Then, deposit this amount into a savings account before paying any bills.
If you do this at the beginning of the month, your entire paycheque won't suddenly slip through your fingers. If you wait until the end of the month, there may be nothing left to save. Paying yourself first provides a systematic way to make your money grow. Regardless of your profession or income, this system will work if you stick to it.
Another money-saving technique is to empty your loose change into a coffee can or jar each day. At the end of the month, take the coins to the bank and put them into your savings account. You could save 30 or 40 dollars each month just with your spare change.
Remember that good money management is about more than just mathematics. It's too closely tied to the ups and downs of life to be just that. Your money management plan should always be flexible enough to accommodate changes in your life situation. The purpose of a good budget is to help you reach your goals by making your money go as far as possible; it's not there to force you to abide by rules.
Don't get discouraged if the budget doesn't work perfectly right away. It may need some revising and editing until it fits your needs. Then, make sure you review it often to ensure you're making the best use of every penny! After all, we all know how helpful those spare pennies can be!
