1. Take a thorough look at your bank statements<\/strong><\/p>\n

You cannot determine where your monthly income is going if you don\u2019t \u2018inspect\u2019 your leakages. Print out your bank statements of the last few months and see where those spending leaks are. Don\u2019t delay \u2013 start doing something about it.<\/p>\n

2. Start going DEBIT and boo CREDIT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather use your debit card and avoid your credit card when paying for your purchases. Remember: when using your credit card, the first 55 days are usually interest-free BUT after that, you pay interest. Why don\u2019t you tuck your credit card away and get into the habit of not using or needing it?<\/p>\n

3. Use financial phone apps to your advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phone apps are still a thing these days and the following apps are rated as the best free money-saving apps (that you can use daily):

4. Save for those emergencies<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to save for emergencies (after you have allocated your budget amount for the month as well as other expenses that you need to cover. Set an emergency savings goal amount for each month, starting with a small amount at first and then increase it throughout the year. Note: your budget and goals need to be set according to your own personal, financial situation.<\/p>\n

5. Before you get lost in debt \u2013 ask the pros\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
