Track your expenses:

Before starting your savings plan, you need to control your expenses. Everyone has a set number of expenses they incur every month. In addition, other expenses occur on a situational basis. You need to keep a record of both expenses by entering them into your budget sheet or application. By recording your utility bills, groceries, fuel expenses and other bills, you will know exactly where your money is going. Keep doing this for an entire month to better understand where your money is going, and then you can decide areas in which you can cut your expenses.
