  1. Comprehensive Budgeting Guide To Help You Financially (For Beginners) Some people have inner accountants that love to pick up their metaphorical pens and write down everything they purchase, planning their expenditures and so forth. Or, they will use free budgeting mobile apps to keep track of their spending. But here’s the thing: Budgeting isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. When they fail to budget, they have to get low interest short term personal loans to get through till the next payday. If you don’t have that inborn sense of making your lists and checking them twice, you’re on the right page. You’ll learn dozens of practical budgeting tips, including those to make passive income.

  2. 1. Save When You’re Spending Everyone has that parent or an elderly neighbour who’s always using coupons. The modern version of those coupons is using specific credit cards or apps that get you discounts. There’s a significant problem: These easy-to-get rewards lure you into purchasing more than you need. For instance, you can use Price Kaki to get the cheapest bread in your area, but what if this hunt for affordable products makes you get more stuff? Remember: It’s fantastic to hunt for bargains, but stay focused and never buy more than you need. If you end up in credit card debt, the best option might be to borrow from your friends/family to pay off the credit card debt first. This is because their interest rates are extremely high and will snowball quickly! If you are unable to borrow from your friends/family, you can apply with a reputable financial institution to get a credit card consolidation loan. 2. Eliminate Unnecessary Expenses

  3. When budgeting, write down everything you’re purchasing to see what’s essential and what isn’t. For example, you have a membership for fitness and spa. Ask yourself this: Are you really using those fitness machines? Are you going every day or just twice per month? So, consider what’s essential for you and what you can live without. Have you heard of the 50-30-20 budget rule? It means to split your salary into three categories. 50% for the necessary payments, 20% into your savings and 30% for other factors. Remember: Conscious spending is key to practical budgeting.

  4. 3. Work With Your Partner Budgeting wisely is almost impossible if you don’t have your loved one’s support. When you restrict your purchases, and the other one doesn’t, life can become frustrating. So, try to explain why budgeting is essential for your life together. People are different, and the method that works for you won’t work for somebody else. Remember: Once you reap the benefits of conscientious budgeting, you’ll never want to go back to careless spending. 4. Don’t Take Unsure Payments Into Account Some sources of income are uncertain. For example, you can count on your salary with almost 100% certainty, but you can’t count on alimony or interest rates in the same way. Or, you could be a freelancer working in Singapore and you never know when your next project will come in. Here’s what to do instead: Wait until you’ve received that money and include it into the next month’s budget. Remember: If you have stock investments or waiting for your ex to send you some money, don’t count on that cash until you get it. 5. Include Savings In Your Budget Savings shouldn’t be optional; they should be a must. Here’s what happens most times:

  5. People spend their way through their paychecks, sometimes even use their credit cards for extra cash, and start all over again next month. If they have something important to look forward to, like a visit to the dentist or buying a brand new washing machine, they save a few months in advance. Here’s what you should be doing: Discipline yourself to save each month at least 10% of your salary. Remember: Each time you receive a paycheck, put aside at least 10% for rainy days. Also, check out the best savings deposit according to the interest rates and conditions. 6. Count everything When people write down their expenses, they start enumerating things like bills, loan instalments, groceries, cosmetics, and subscriptions. 99% of them usually forget one tiny detail: Small incidentals. Of course, you can ask who cares about those $3 you spend on coffee and a doughnut during your lunch break? Who cares about that soda you get from a vending machine? Well, $3 x 5 days per week x 50 weeks equals $750/ year. So in the big picture, spending those $3 each day counts. Remember: Include literally everything you’re spending in your expense budget with as much precision as possible.
