Don’t get that $5 coffee
Starbucks is great but don’t buy it every day, or even twice a week. In fact stay away from any charges like Starbucks. Don’t spend money at Starbucks, don’t spend money on Uber Eats, Postmates or Favor. These charges are avoidable and can only cause financial hardship.
Stay off Amazon!!!!
I can’t say this enough. I fall victim to this all the time. Amazon is a great way to get trapped in the perpetual loop of impulse buying. The best way to avoid this is by just staying off amazon. Unless you need something.
Pay your essentials first
Paying your essentials seems like one of the most basic things you can do. However, there are some people out there that believe essential should come after the wants. Pay your rent, pay your utilities, and pay for your groceries first. Then, take care of the none essentials, Phone, internet, cable, etc. Only after your set aside money for savings or retirement is when you can do that shopping you’ve been wanting to do for a while now.
Try to save!
Savings is an important part of a strong financial future. Having a rainy day fund is not only important in the event of job loss, but it’s also important for any type of emergency in your life. A medical expense, or any other type of emergency situation that could result in significant financial hardship.
