1. Create Your Budget

At the heart of any Savings plan is a budget. Budgeting helps you prioritize your expenditure and find a balance between spending and saving across a whole year. By checking your saving statements, bills, and receipts, you can work out all your regular expenses, such as your rent or mortgage, transport, insurance and electricity bills. Don’t spend before you save.

2. Keep Track Of Your Expenses

If your expenses are so high that you can’t save as much as you’d like, it might be time to cut back. Identify none essentials that you can spend less on, such as entertainment and dining out. Look for ways to save on your fixed monthly expenses like television and your cell phone. Always know what comes in and what goes out.

3. Set Ambitious Financial Goals

One of the best ways to save money is to set a goal. After your expenses and income, your goals are likely to have the biggest impact on how you allocate your savings. Start by thinking of what you might want to save for, perhaps you’re getting married, planning a vacation or saving for further education. Then figure out how much money you’ll need and how long it might take you to save it.

5. Pack Lunch (And Eat At Home)

Meal planning is one of the easiest ways to save money, for instance If you know what you’re eating for the week and have shopped accordingly, there’ll be no need for random visits to the supermarket. Extra visits result to spending more money.

If you’re serious about financial independence, be honest and ask yourself, Do you want it or do you need it? Avoid impulse buying.

7. Avoid a poverty mentality

Some people tend to have self-limiting beliefs and make decisions based on fear of loss or failure. In contrast, people with a prosperity, or abundance, mentality base their decisions on what the possible benefits are.
