Managing money on a day-to-day basis: How can I save money?

As much as I would like to, I cannot manage my day-to-day finances to save money. How should I go about it? Which habits should I adopt in order to achieve this? 

Saving money is not easy. Whether we are just starting out in life or already well established, we always face difficulties in managing our finances, and tend to believe that saving money means denying ourselves all enjoyment.

However, with a little time and discipline, as well as a good awareness of your expenses, you should be able to put money aside on a daily basis and achieve your longer-term financial goals.

There are several reasons why it is important to save money on a daily basis. First, it allows you to have better budget management and control over your spending. Second, saving allows you to deal with the contingencies and build up a financial cushion in case of need. Finally, saving allows you to afford the things you really want, rather than wasting your money on impulse purchases that will bring you little satisfaction in the long term.       

There are many ways to manage your money on a day-to-day basis and save money. Here are a few tips to help you optimize your budget and better organize your expenses:  

  • Establish a budget: As trivial as it may appear, the first step to effective money management is to know and keep track of your incomes and expenses. To do this, you can either go the traditional pen-and-notebook route, or use an Excel spreadsheet or an online tool that will enable you to track your expenses and set your financial priorities.
  • Shop smart: Before you buy anything, take the time to compare prices and look for offers or discount codes. Do not hesitate to buy in bulk or take advantage of sales to save money. If you are a student, always check the availability of student deals before making your purchases.
  • Avoid impulse purchases: We all have moments of weakness when we feel like indulging ourselves by buying something we really want. However, these impulse purchases can quickly add up and cost you... a lot of money. To avoid this, make yourself a shopping list before you go into the store, and stick to it!
  • Save money: Putting money aside is essential to securing your financial future. A few pennies here and there on a daily, monthly or occasional basis can make all the difference! You can also open a savings account or invest in financial products, such as retirement savings, to help your money grow.
  • Watch out for bank fees: Bank fees can quickly add up and cost you a lot of money. To avoid this, choose a bank that offers reasonable fees and services tailored to your needs. Similarly, do not hesitate to get informed about all the offers available to you and subscribe to the one that will cost you the least while offering you good advantages.
