Make budgets and have control over your expenses. Write down all your income and expenses so you have an idea of where your money is being spent.
Cut superfluous spending. Examine your expenses and see what can be cut without negatively affecting your quality of life. For example, you can cut out expensive TV channels or subscriptions to services you don't use much.
Trade your accounts. Call your service providers and ask if they have any promotions or discounts available. You can also look for cheaper alternatives, such as switching to a cheaper cell phone plan or switching internet providers.
Shop smart. Comparing prices and looking for special offers can help you save money on your purchases. Also, buy in bulk when prices are low and freeze or stock items for later use.
Save and invest. Set savings goals and work towards them. Also consider investing some of your money in low-risk options, such as mutual funds or government bonds, to help protect and grow your savings over time.
