To straighten out your finances, it’s important to understand the difference between assets, which are money that comes in, and liabilities, which includes the bills and what sucks away your money.

Too often, we tend to spend as much as we bring in; while this has become the American way of life, it is never going to change your financial situation. Make a strict savings plan where you only pay for bills and necessities while putting the rest of your income into a savings account.

Write out a list of how much money you need to cover all of your bills and designate a small spending fund so that you can cover extras and some fun things as well. Put everything else in savings and avoid the urge to splurge on things that you don’t need. What you have left at the end of the month can be put into a savings plan, putting you on the path toward financial security. 

We waste more money than we realize every day. For one week, keep a detailed list of everything you spend money on including small things like a pack of gum at the service station. In the end, you may discover that you can save as much as thirty dollars a month by cutting down on snacks or choosing to make purchases at more cost-efficient stores. 

Saving money seems like a chore and spending naturally feels like fun. To improve your budget, you need to switch your way of thinking. Start trying to discover ways that you can enjoy saving money. Set goals and make plans about what you are saving for – then consider rewarding yourself when you meet milestones in your savings account. Also, look for ways that you can make money from hobbies and pastimes that you enjoy such as selling your hand-knitted potholders. 

Learn from those who have been through financial troubles and rose to success. You may find these people in your own neighborhood and family, or you may need to turn to online stories. Consider what they did to get out of their financial pit and how you could follow their examples.

While your finances may look bleak now, they don’t have to stay that way! By implementing the five tips listed above, you can stop living paycheck to paycheck, and breakthrough to financial freedom!
