Your number one must have in a money saving home is an understanding of your money.
I really want to highlight the your money part. We live in a socially influenced society that is marketed to, to keep up with your neighbors, the Joneses and your friends. You need to know where you sit with money. How much do you make? How much do you spend? How much do you overspend? Knowing all of this will help you get ahead.
Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck?
You need to create a money saving plan and put it in motion. Home is where your heart is. It’s your biggest investment and your biggest expense. Whether it be your mortgage, rent, cable, utilities, groceries, entertainment, credit card debt, children’s activities or vacations. The costs all add up.
Do you know where all your money is going? Have you set up a budget and know your expenses? This resource can help you. Spend a few minutes, gather up all your bills and receipts. Figure out how hard your money is working. Where do you need to cut? What are you spending too much money on?
If you have a second, read this. After reading this article I am sure you can think of more than one place, probably three or four places you can save money.
Make a plan to live within your means. To not spend every cent you make. Pay down your debt, save for a rainy day (they do happen).
