Tip 1 - Trying is better than not doing at all

​​Try. Some people get so overwhelmed getting started that they don’t bother. You might find it tough to start. I promise you, it will be rewarding if you stick to it. 

Tip 2 - It gets easier

Most of us don’ t like change, so the first few months could be frustrating as you adapt. But keep doing it, it gets better. Once you get in the swing, you’ll have money left over before you know it. An awesome feeling!!

Tip 3 - Budget for the unexpected

Keep a miscellaneous category in your budget, for odd bits and pieces.

Tip 4 - Be flexible

​Your budget is not there to tell you how broke you are or what you can’t do. It allows you to control where your money goes. 

Tip 5 - Teamwork keeps you focused

​Budget together! If you’re married, it should be both spouses. Singles could have an accountability partner. That means you have someone (maybe a flatmate) to help you remember all the things you forget to include. 

Tip 6 - Set aside some fun money

​Don’t forget to budget in fun money, whether it’s for date night, eating out, or shopping. If you don’t, you won’t stick to your plan. Not sure how much? Check out the 70-10-10-10 plan here.  

Tip 7 - Know your trouble spots

​That could be beer and pizza, the online betting account, or a shoe fetish. You must be diligent about planning, so you know what to do in case you have the urge to splurge. This applies to any category where you tend to overspend. 

Tip 8 - Allow for seasonal expenses

​Christmas and birthdays are a great example.  Maybe money needs to go in a separate pot for those expenses during the year.

Tip 9 - Give yourself time to plan each month

​The most important tip of all.  Set a reminder in your calendar each month to evaluate the month that was and plan for the month that will be.
