Smart Spending Techniques, Practices and Recommendations
- Pay yourself first. Set up a separate savings account once you get paid and immediately transfer a portion (start with 5% of your regular deposit amount) to the savings account. Attempt to forget about the account inorder to prevent unnecessary withdrawals. Only access the funds upon emergency.
- Collect and write notes on your cash purchase receipts. This will help you track spending and raise awareness of your spending habits
