Fix your Expenditure Budget: 

Be ware of the money you have and the money you spend. The easiest thing to do is keep a notepad. Then divide it into two columns: the money you spend VS the money you earn. Learn to jot down every single purchase. Update the total every time. Give yourself clear details about the transactions. The best way to keep an eye on your budget is to do it yourself. The bank sometimes needs a few days to update your account.

Whether you are an employee drawing fixed pay, running your own business, a pensioner, a student, or a household, you need to plan your monthly budget of expenses keeping in view your income or receipt. Keep in mind that you are not spending all of your income you have had earned or received during the month. Overspending is highly dangerous and will drown you deeply in debt; therefore, you should cut your costs according to your expenses. Your budget must lead to a regular saving even if it is a couple of dollars.

• Grocery
• Income 
• Bills 
• Insurance 
• Stock and Investments 
• Sales and Donations everything counts

2. Second best way to organize your finances is according to your calendar 

Maybe on Saturday you grocery shop, for an example. Then on Friday at the end of the week or month,  you’ll know your income.  the best way to save money on regular basis being a compulsory saving as per your calendar week or month. You decide what works best for you . Sometimes, you save before you get paid due to the option of splitting your direct deposit.  In case the facility does not exist, you may set an automatic transfer by default. 

3.  Get Rid of the Debt:

Once you have wisely planned your budget and spending accordingly, it is hoped that soon you would be able to manage your payments, especially the debt payment. My observation is that debt servicing is a regular expense of many people as they pay substantial money in the shape of interest on debt each month. Try to repay your entire debt on top priority so that the extra amount paid as interest on your debt could be saved.  This is only possible if you cut down on your luxuries.   Always update the total money you have as  Well as keep a detailed calendar for the future and the best combination to make a plan. This plan will be the key for further investments, projects and at the end, rewards.  

4.  Set Your Vision: 

Of course, it is natural that if you have a vision or target followed by a timeline, you will easily succeed in achieving the same such as buying a house in three years with a 25 percent down payment shall guarantee compulsory savings to that extent.  This vision or target will force you to save money by deferring your supplementary needs as long as you have to pay for the house. Explain your feelings to yourself. Make sure your spending money for good reason. Are you anxious ? Are you stressed?   Make sure you are not moved by emotions but logical decisions. 

5. Quit Smoking:

Smoking is a habit, not a food and as such, you cannot quit the habit easily.  However, your firm determination will be your success. You can cut down this habit gradually and a day will come when you will completely get rid of smoking. Various studies have shown that a mediocre smoker (whether a male or a female) spends nearly $3,000 a year if he/she smokes one and a half packs of cigarettes daily. Sometimes, smokers also try cigars of different flavors & tastes just to satisfy their habit. Therefore, the major chunk of savings you can derive if you completely quit smoking. 

6. Economy Measures: 

Economy measures should strictly be adopted in utility bills like heat, water, and electricity because these are recurring expenses.  Always put the thermostat of your water heater at 10°F which will save 3-5 percent in energy costs. Similarly, survive with fans during summer instead of using air-conditioners and keep the extra lights, fans & other electric gadgets off when not needed. 

7.   Avoid Unnecessary Traveling: 

It has been experienced that some families keep roaming frequently and spend a lot of money on traveling & dinning out.  If they plan to spend their vacations locally instead of traveling abroad, they can save a handsome amount. 

8. Avoid Buying Lunch and fast food: 

Do you buy lunch at work every day? If your answer is “yes”, you are eating up a substantial amount of your possible savings. Better pack your lunch as the homemade lunch would result in an extra saving of more than $100/- a month besides giving you good health benefits. Likewise, you can save more than $ 50/- per month if you stop ordering pizza each weekend. 

9. Prefer cash payments: 

You must opt for cash payments instead of paying through credit cards as the use of credit cards will mount up your future payments followed by interest payments.  Mostly, people like to buy now and pay later, but this principle is against savings. It is wise to pay cash instantly which will of course result in saving some money.

10. Miscellaneous:  

Besides the above-mentioned tricks & practices, you can adopt many other ways that are quite helpful in saving money such as: 

• Groceries:  Before you shop, make a list of necessary stuff you need to avoid unnecessary purchases. Use cash to pay instantly and avail discount coupons. 
• Cosmetics & perfumes: Some people are spending crazily on cosmetics, ornaments, and perfumes, but I would recommend you to limit your expenses under this head and save a lot of money.
• Cut-down on Dresses & Fashion: Unnecessary purchase of dresses, shoes and lavishly spending on fashion should be avoided. A natural lifestyle may be adopted which will have great health benefits in the long run. 
• Insurance Policies:  Always buy those insurance policies which are comparatively cheap, but work well. 
• Increase Your Existing Income: 

Another way to save money is to increase your income. You can only do it if you work for more hours. 

Focus on what’s necessary. Explain your feelings to yourself. 

In conclusion, you should plan for savings for your future security by adhering to these tips. Saving money can bring prosperity, happiness and guarantees your life more joy! This is a favorable combination for being able to maintain and a clear vision of your financial goals while working over time to achieve them.
