The first, and obviously the most important point when it comes to saving is to have a realistic spending budget. If you do not have what to guide you when you spend, you may be tempted to spend more than your pocket can carry. With a working budget, you will know how your money is spent, where the money is going, and what you put your money into. When creating a budget, it should be logical, realistic, and doable. More so, it should take your income into account and then relate it to your expenditure. If what you want to spend is more than what you earn, then you need to make adjustments.

In addition to making a budget, you should also find a way to cut expenses, especially the unnecessary ones that you can easily do without. If you are piqued to buy every single thing that passes whether you want it or not, you will find it extremely difficult to save. In cutting down expenses, there are sometimes that bulk-buying will give you further discount and will enable you to cut expenses. Take this instance: if you go to the grocery shop to buy rice in cups, you will end up buying it costlier over time, but if you buy the bag and keep in your house, even though it may involve more money initially, but in the long run, you would have saved a considerable amount of money.

There is a reason why some people buy foodstuffs and other things in bulk than in piecemeal; to save money in the long run. So you see, there are lots of ways to cut expenses and ultimately lead you to saving more. There was a time that the cable TV we use ran a promo. If you pay for 3 months bouquet at once, you will be given an extra month free. In this case, you would have saved the money you would have spent on one month if you had paid monthly. So for 1 year, you would have saved a cumulative of 3 months or more.

Another point to consider apart from budgeting and cutting expenses is to avoid buying things on impulse. Something may appeal to you but if you do not already have a plan to buy for it and it is not an immediate necessity, then you are not under a mandate to buy it. Before you buy something, you have to ask yourself about whether it is necessary or not. If you keep spending on unnecessary things, when it gets to the time to get the necessary things, you may deep your hands into your savings and it will affect what you have saved.

You also need to take timely maintenance seriously. Undertaking a routine and early maintenance (for your home appliances, car, tools, etc) will prevent it from breaking down or spoiling, which will require more money to be fixed. More so, this applies to your health too. You need to also undertake routine medical checkup, so as to reduce or remove the likelihood of your health breaking down and costing you more on treatment.

If you have put all these points into good use and still find out that you have not been saving as you want to, then the next feasible option is that you might just need to get an additional source of income. Of course, you can only save from what you earn. And if you are not earning enough, then it will affect your savings. So get other supplementary sources of income so that you will earn more and then save more. Always remember that saving is a choice, but the choice is heavily dependent on, and affected by your income. So if you want to save more, then make more money.
