How to Save Money on a Tight Budget?

[HK World]

If your budget’s been a bit more strained than usual in the last few months, you’re not alone. High inflation, lagging wage growth and the potential of a looming recession are some of the reasons why saving money might be getting more difficult.

Some expenses are almost impossible to eliminate. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reduce them. In particular, lowering your recurring expenses can be a big help because it will give you savings every month, not just one time.

But some changes in your lifestyle can help you a lot:

• Turning lights off when you’re not using them.
• Cutting the cord on cable and opting for cheaper streaming services. Streaming services often have shared or family plans that you can split between multiple people to lower the cost even more.
• Withholding from impulse purchases. One way to help do this is by writing down wants and waiting a week before buying them, so you can see if you still want them.

Having a tight budget to save towards is not easy especially when you are also not financially sound.
