Money is needed in every aspect of life. Hence it matters a lot! Life becomes much easier when you have to manage your money properly. Your credit score also depends upon how you are spending money. By money management, not only I have secured my finance well but leading a balanced life too. See the steps below how you can manage your money well :
- Make a Budget sheet & Use that:
Unless we have a budget sheet with all spending & earning, how can we track our daily, monthly or yearly expenses which provides a bigger picture for making a financial plan? To create an excel sheet(like below) and maintain it monthly, it really enables you to plan well!
2. Segregate your money :
Ideally, you should segregate your money to 50/30/20 Rule means allot 50% for the households(rent, bills, food etc.), 30% to you discretionary like a trip, entertainment, hobbies expense etc. and 20% should be your saving. This mechanism makes a proper balance on financing.
3. Restrict your unbudgeted spending :
The other aspect of the budget is the money left from income minus the expenses, most of the people use this for fun, entertainment etc, that's fine too but with a limit. Spend it unless it's impacting any other budgeted items.
4.Track your expenses regularly :
Big or small purchases here & there and you end up doing overspend, so better track your expense using the expense sheet and check the areas of unidentified spends.
5.Think a lot before taking any Loan/Debt :
Your credit score is good it doesn't mean you can take a loan! unless it's drastically needed don't take the loan. Any kind of debt or loan is anyway a huge burden apart from your monthly expense, so take it wisely.
6. Pay the best price:
Before purchasing anything make sure to compare the prices from another channel too and ensure that you are going to pay the best prices of a product or services. Seek for the discounts, coupons, cashback or any other cheaper option.
