We need to work together to set some financial goals and a budget for you so that you can resist spending money on items that really don’t matter in the long run. Now remember, deciding how much to spend on non-essentials (entertainment, dining out, shopping) and how much to put away in your savings can be tricky.

Whether you are looking to save extra money for your emergency fund and potential unexpected expense, a new kitchen, or your kids’ college tuition—you name it—you will require self-discipline and a plan to reach any financial goal. You can even use a budgeting app if you need a little more support reaching your financial goal.

If you do a weekly meal plan, you will know exactly what ingredients need to be bought during your next grocery shopping trip, including the ones you have and those you don’t. This can ultimately lead to substantial savings that can go toward your financial goal and keep you from being wasteful. Do you get what I mean?

While you can control where and how you shop, you can’t control the need to eat. What you can do is control how much of your money you spend on bills in any given month and how much of it you save for your long-term financial planning and security. It’s cheaper, and it still gives you the same kind of money you need.

And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. Stop eating out – it’s so much better for your wallet and your waistline to cook at home. I didn’t really have to give up a lot while I was getting out of debt.
