5 ways to save more money!

  1. Pay yourself first. Automatically saving a portion of your pay can help you create an emergency fund.
  2. Pause before you purchase. Waiting 24 hours to buy something gives you time to consider whether you truly need it.
  3. Use a shopping list. You’ll decrease your chance of an impulse buy.
  4. Choose to have a day without spending. You’ll avoid the little purchases that add up.
  5. Give yourself a cash allowance. Using cash for discretionary spending makes it harder to blow your budget. Once the money is gone, it’s gone.
