Manage your money better
1. Know Your Money Priorities
Before budgeting, you need to determine your priorities. If you skip this crucial step, you won’t buy into your financial plan.
You need a focus to align your money goals with your money habits. That focus is what’s most important in your life, right now. Do you have credit card debt that makes your stomach churn just thinking about it? Paying that down might be your No. 1 priority.
2. Determine your monthly pay
There is a saying that what can be measured is also managed. How can you manage your money without knowing what you earn each month? If you don’t have a concrete number, determine your monthly income after taxes. This will be easier if you’re a salaried employee with a regular paycheck. Freelancers may have to estimate their monthly income.
Once you have a number, add in any extra side gig money. Maybe you have a blog that earns ad revenue, or you teach a weekly yoga/fitness class. Whatever extra income you earn, add it into your monthly take-home pay.
3. Be attentive to pay the best prices
You can make the most of your money by ensuring that you’re paying the lowest prices for products and services. Seek for discounts, coupons, and cheaper alternatives whenever you can.
- Save up for big purchases: The ability to delay gratification will go a long way to make you better with money. When you put off large purchases, rather than sacrificing more important essentials or putting the purchase on a credit card, you give yourself time to evaluate whether the purchase is necessary and even more time to compare prices. By saving up rather than using credit, you avoid paying interest on the purchase. And if you save rather than skipping bills or obligations, well, you don’t have to deal with the many consequences of missing those bills.
- Being Good With Money Takes Practice: In the beginning, you may not be used to planning ahead and putting off purchases until you can afford them. The more you make these habits part of your daily life, the easier it is to manage your money, and the better off your finances will be.
