Monthly Budget

I have found that one way to save money over time is to make a budget and keep track of what you spend. This may seem very obvious, but sometimes hard to be consistent with. Simply putting a limit on your spending and sticking to it can help items that feel like a necessity become something that would be nice to have, and therefore money is spent on what really is needed.

Writing down monthly expenses can help to create as well as stick to a budget. Fine tuning is then a matter of assessing needs vs wants. Easier said than done, but it works!
