Saving & Earning – basic tricks and tips

May 11, 2021 by Annie

Earning enough money and saving it to live a stress-free day-to-day life is almost everyone’s endeavor. And although some make a sufficient amount to live comfortably, they might struggle with acquiring a money-saving mindset. Here are several takeaways on managing to put some money aside at the end of the month to improve personal finances.

Get rid of your debts

First and foremost, you have to confront all your debts before making a good saving plan. Although the amount of your debts could be frightening, facing the unpleasant truth is the first step toward your financial freedom. You have to make it go away as soon as possible, and it will require discipline and a wise financial plan: credit cards, auto loans, or student loans.

Comparing your debt with your annual income will make it easier to allocate the monthly sums necessary to make that nightmare go away. At this point, it’s time to figure out your debt to income ratio, which is the percentage of your monthly income you need to allocate for getting rid of debts.

Set clear goals and don’t yield to temptations

Setting the goals and having an exact idea of why you want to save money is crucial. It’s a part of your financial planning, and it’s preferred to be the long-term one. To achieve the long-term goals, set the short-term goals such as above mentioned paying off the debts. To stick to the goals, you need rigorous discipline.

You should always bear in mind the amazing outcome your sustained behavior will result in. If depriving you of indulging in luxury clothes, usually totally unnecessary, or from a $5 mocha latte every day can lead you to financial freedom, then the sacrifice is not so unbearable.

Find alternative ways of earning money

Having a secondary income source is necessary to establish a financial balance. It’s not about finding another part-time job. But rather about passive income sources, such as investment in stocks or renting a property. When it comes to alternative sources of making money, online trading is more accessible and more lucrative than ever. You can profit from the volatility of market prices on the currency exchange market, namely Forex trade, and ensure decent extra cash on a monthly basis.

Trading Forex is not rocket science, but you will have to spare some time in learning how the currency market works. Moreover, once you master the trading on the currency market, using the compounding strategy of investing your gains in other financial markets, the profits could be astonishing.

Utility savings

Save you money on your monthly utility bills. Make sure you have chosen the most affordable utility supplier and lookup for solutions to save energy and decrease consumption. The first step is making an energy audit and set up a home energy efficiency plan. This can cover small reparation and improvements such as installing new insulation to replacing the standard water heater with a tankless water heater, and so on.

Take a staycation

The term staycation became very popular recently, and there is strong reasoning for that, one of them being the pandemic crisis. But even after the pandemics, think of spending modest sums on exploring the natural beauties in your own country or region instead of dropping thousands on airline tickets and fancy hotels.

In Conclusion

Let’s be honest! Earning money to live a decent life and manage to save for rainy days is a harsh task. Especially if you already live those rainy days that don’t seem to have an end. But, starting small, with adequate planning and readiness for changing the consumer mindset, everything is possible. You can achieve the financial balance and finally congratulate yourself on your persistence and resourcefulness.
