How to be smart in budgeting?
People wonder how I manage my income, paying bills on time, saving while traveling on a budget. Before I learn saving money on a bank; I learn first the traditional way of saving. Keeping new bills, coins and the secret of budgeting. Now a days we need to learn the art of saving for your future and learning how to spend your money wisely. We always hear that we need to know what's our "WANTS VS NEEDS" and need to live within your means.
The fact that I'm living in a fast phased generation we should learn how to save money the right way. I kept on reading pdf files on ways how to save money and I got the top 3 ways how to save money and how to be a smart budgetarian.
TOP 3 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY
1. Know what you want and what's your needs
We all want to save money but in order for us to save we need to think 10 times before we purchase something. I love to travel and also to save but I'm always skeptical whenever I buy things for my travel goals. Before I used to buy single used items now I buy reusable materials and make sure that I can still use it even not traveling. Let's also admit that we love buying "duplicate things" like for example I already have packing cubes but I still buy another one for future use. Then I just realize why should I buy a new set if I can repair stuff. Instead of buying new one I would rather use the same packing cubes til it ware off.
2. Live with in your means
Save first just like paying yourself first for your hardwork then live with the remaining balance that you have.
3. Make your own food
Everybody likes "to go" foods sometimes buying isn't a good habit but most of the time to go foods are also not healthy. Better make your own food and it will allow you to be more creative with new heathy recipes and you will be able to save if you learn buying things in bulk.
Always remember every single cent counts!
