Making money and keeping money is an art. Putting yourself on a savings budget can lead you to your best life. Most people spend without a budget which I have to say looks fun today but is definitely stressful tomorrow. The spend it all lifestyle is not sustainable. A little planning, maybe an hour a week, can make everything so much easier! Saving money is key to wealth building habits.
The blog website
http://www.GetRichSlowly.org is a great site for budgeting ideas and strategies from a variety of writers. There are lots of topics and strategies for everything! I found an example of an Excel budget worksheet for those who don’t use a software program for tracking. You can put in your monthly income,
list your expenses and track your daily, monthly, and yearly categories to make sure that you are staying on track.
It is easier to stay on track and not feel defeated by setbacks when we realize that we are not alone. We are not the only ones in our current situation. Someone has always come before us and either succeeded or failed at what we are currently working on. It helps to hear both sides of the story. I learn what works for me and what doesn’t from examples both good and bad. This helps me move successfully forward.
There is also a lot of info on the site regarding comparisons of Savings accounts, CD’s, Mortgages, Credit cards, and Insurance. This is a great site to help bring the concept of spend less than we earn to our attention. Knowledge is power so they made it easy to follow them on their website, by email newsletters, Facebook or Twitter. Just another way to develop good money habits.
