Have you experienced the disappointment when it’s time for spending on something really important?

1.       Take a notebook for writing down your monthly expenses. Sometimes we lose the track of how and where we spend money. For one month, at least, try to note all your spendings in the notebook which will help you to figure out the amount of money you spent on certain things. This way it will be possible for you to check visually where you could be more careful and could skip the unwanted spending.

2.       A good practice before you have decided to make a certain expenditure, is to ask yourself the following;

How badly you need it?

How useful is it for that moment?

Will it bring some value in your life?

Does it worth its price?

While answering to those questions, try to be honest with yourself and get the maximum assertive answers.

3.       The reasonable step is to make a research before you buy anything higher than $300. Most of the companies have their prices set, and the data fixed in their websites, so that it is not a big deal to check and compare prices and qualities of the products with that of yours you intend to buy.

4.       Think about the items you spent money on most. Make the list of them and try to think about ways to cut short the amount of money spent on it.

5.       Clothing are items we spend a great deal of money on, which can be regulated with a smart approach. Have a tour in your closet, find out what you need and give away the stuff that has been laying in it for several years. Check out items that get worn out fast (like socks, tops) and items that can last even years. Accordingly, you should spend more money on the items that get worn out easily, and spend less money on items like jeans, bags, etc.

6.       Make dinner packs to take to work. It’s well acknowledged that eating out is way more expensive than cooking at home. Each time you save money by taking a lunch pack to work. By this two, or three times a month you will have the opportunity to grant you with a nice evening dinner with your loved ones. To have your smart list of shopping, you will need to check the local grocery offers and prices and match it with your shopping list and the budget.
