Tips To Be Smarter in Expenses

Hola read cash family. How are you all? I do hope that everyone is okay now and already having a good day. Whatever you are facing right now either good or bad, remember that God is always ready to extend his hands for you as help. Not literary his hands but he used people to meet our essentials in life. God bless you. 😇

So for today, I would like to share with you the very first photo I saw in my Facebook account with a description that made me pause for a while to think and reflect on my case as a wife and a mother. For me, it's more important to follow these tips. 👇

Only buy what you need

To save money, we should never forget to buy only the essentials or the needs we need the most o to survive. Just like the food. We need to be extra careful on how we spend our finances and for us to be able to save money, the needed ones should be the priority. The wants are somewhat what we wanted to have but it's indeed not the important one. We can still buy those if we have lots of extra money. Besides, it depends on you. Remember to think wisely. It's not bad to buy those wants but if we are eager to save money more, then let us avoid to spent and buying those wants only. It's not important at all. In my case, as a mother, I spent my money wisely because we need to save money for our future especially since we have now a baby. Her needs are the most prioritized first in spending our money. Such as her vitamins and diaper are top on my list. No more extra stuff for myself. 😁

Avoid debt

I know that debt is not new to us in fact debt can also help us to survive but remember that too much debt can lead us to a miserable life. Our earnings or income will be just divided because we have debts and we need to pay for them. It's not free then. We should be responsible also to the person who lets us borrow money from. We should pay responsibly but please let us stop doing more debts such as debts here and there. It's not good at all. That would be the reason why we never prosper because of debts. Every time we have money though we have a plan to spend it for the needs of the family it turns out to pay for the debt. No more for the family instead. So, if we are mature enough to handle expenses, then we should avoid this kind of action to be prosperous.

Stick to your budget

Well as a mother and wife, I have to follow this. You know what, budgeting a small amount of money is not easy. You have to only stick to what's on the priority list. You have to buy those stuff that is already budgeted to avoid out of money. In my case, I have to buy only those things that are on my list. I need to do it because I don't have a choice but to spend the money that my husband gave me so that everything is just smooth. And also, our money that my husband from his work or his salary is not that much it only good for our essentials. But we are still able to set aside money for our savings which are the most important. Savings is life. 😁 We need to be practical, especially just recently that the gasoline is too much high in cost. Or very expensive now. From 64-78 per liter. Imagine that? So there is no doubt that all the stuff or things to buy will also increase in their prices. Some are doubled in price from their original. How will be able to survive now? It is very sad by we have no choice then but to embrace the reality. That is why we need to be extra careful with our finances nowadays.

Keep track of your expenses and adjust them regularly

If you have happened that your expenses are getting bigger than the usual expenses that you usually have, just adjust it or them. Never buy things that are too pricey if you ever find a cheap one. Just be practical. As long as it is useful even if it is just a cheap price then it's okay. Also, if your daily expenses are much higher than the daily income that you have, it's not safe anymore. It's risky. Lol. You have to monitor your expenses as well so that you will not end up with anything left from your salary. You should be wise. The key is to adjust, adjust and adjust until you are now back on track again.

Living below your means

If you are good at saving money, then you are more responsible on how to live your life with the means that you have. And if you are a kind of a person that loves to buy expensive things then believe me or not your savings are not that numerous because you always follow the trend, especially the clothing. You keep on buying expensive and branded clothes just to be more look rich or presentable. But as for me, I prefer to buy cheap price clothes such as "ukay-ukay". For me, even if you buy clothes that are pricey if it's not good or fit for you then it is nicer to wear clothes that are at low cost and fits you. It's not about how pricey your clothing is but it is on how you wear it confidently. I don't know if I am right. Lol. I hope you get my point. (Beta kay mao na to) hahaha

Time will come that the money you save either big or small amount, will still be useful. Believe me or not. I'm done with that or most of us. It is more important to save money no matter what. 😊
