Which of them are you? Spendthrift or saver? Being a saver is not a walk in the park, it requires dire sacrifice. As we age, we always need some amount put aside for different reasons or for a rainy season. You could be wanting to save more but you just get by or even worse still, fall into debt. You spend sleepless nights thinking about debts and unpaid bills yet again, you don’t have enough money to do all that. Adopting effective habits could help you save a lot of money and will consider it easier. It may take time to adopt saving and discipline not to spend it but it will pay off in the long run. Smart savers have things they do in common in order to stay on track and help them improve themselves. Learn and incorporate them in yours to embrace change.
Smart savers save a percentage of their income first.
You may be tempted to clear your bills first but that is not advised. Usually after you clear your bills, there’s barely anything to save. To take care of that situation, learn to know which percentage you will be comfortable with saving monthly and be deducting that amount first and save before proceeding to spending it on other things.
Have a goal.
It makes it easier to save if you have clear picture of what you want. While saving for a vacation, the destination will give you butterflies and you will be existed to get that. But if you are saving for the sake of it, then it might not work. Picture your plans after you achieve them and you will be motivated.
Keep your spending in check.
The lesser you spend, the more you save. It is important to have a budget and stick to it. Have a budget of your essentials and miscellaneous, frequently check upon what you no longer need and scrap it off. Evaluate on things that may cause you unnecessary spending and try to think about how much your spending is costing you.
Avoid debt.
Trying to save while full of debt is like flogging a dead horse. In case you are unable to pay cash, then, you can’t afford it and avoid pushing yourself in to debt. Only consider emergencies that are required to be paid immediately and do not purchase something that you hadn’t planned for.
Our lives are as a result of our habits. Create smart saving habits and you will live comfortably as you save your money and also provide financial stability. You will feel much better after all.
