Saving money is hard y’all.
I’m not here to lie to you. Even if you make a great income, it can be difficult to stay on a budget and control your spending.
If you want to put money away to secure your future, you need to learn this valuable skill.
The good thing is that saving is actually quite simple! It’s really more about changing your behavior than it is about math.
If you aren’t good at saving up for a purchase or emergency, you might be tempted to reach for the credit card when something comes up.
80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, which means they most likely aren’t saving!
Much like losing weight, or starting any new habit, learning how to save takes dedication and practice.
For starters, you need a budget! You have to tell your money where to go each month, or you just won’t have anything left over to save.
