Set Clear Goals
Focus your energy and attention by setting short and long-term goals, like paying off some credit card debt and saving for a big purchase.
Simplify
Use a spreadsheet or an app to keep track of your incoming and outgoing money.
Set up automatic transfers and payments, and try to take care of finances online to save time and energy.
Give Yourself an Allowance
Keep a certain amount of cash on you for the week, and don’t spend any more than that on non-essential items.
Use Envelopes
Keep an envelope taped to your desk or hung on a wall to collect receipts as they come in.
Seal and label it at the end of the month, and put up a new one for the next month. You’ll thank us come tax time!
