It can be said that money has a great influence on our lives, since without money we cannot buy anything. So it's worth grabbing every HUF, but how?
Many people experience that the reserve in their bank account has dwindled, and we are also aware that the start of school is fast approaching. We know very well what sums this can take out of our hands, so it is very important that we consciously take care of our costs.
If you feel like money is slipping out of your hands, you need much more awareness. Also like this:
Make a budget and buy accordingly
Determine your monthly income and expenses. Divide expenses into categories such as housing, food, transportation, entertainment, etc.
Track your expenses and regularly check if you're sticking to your budget. You can use different applications or a simple table for this.
Collecting emergency reserves
Create an emergency fund that covers at least 3-6 months of living expenses. At first, it is difficult to put it aside, but later the awareness itself gives a sense of security, that there is something to reach for when needed. This helps you not have to take out a loan in unexpected situations.
Make saving automatic and make it natural to set aside a certain amount every month.
Targeted savings
Set financial goals (such as a vacation, a new car, buying an apartment or retirement) and create a savings account either with an application or through the bank's services, so that progress can be more easily followed.
Debt management
Pay off high-interest loans and debts first, because they can quickly add to your debt. If you have a smaller debt, consider paying it back as quickly as possible.
Financial planning and investment :
Create a long-term financial plan that includes retirement goals, your children's education costs, and other major expenses. Consider the investment and ask a financial expert for advice on how you could create some extra money with less risk and in the hope of profit.
