How to Save Money: 20 Simple Tips


We all have good intentions when it comes to saving money, right? We tell ourselves we’ll start saving once we reach a certain milestone, like when we hit a specific age, get a raise, or when Jimmy (finally) moves out of the basement.
But in reality, you’ll only start saving money when you develop healthy money habits and your future needs become more important than your current wants. A lot of times, our goal to save money isn’t a big enough priority to delay the purchase of that new smartphone, kitchen table or TV. So we spend our dollars away—or worse—go into debt to fuel our latest bout of “want-itis.” That debt then turns into monthly payments that control our paychecks—and our lives.


Sounds overwhelming right? It doesn’t have to be. With a few tweaks to your spending priorities, you’ll be on the fast track to saving money in no time.
