Spending has to do with using up the funds usually in form of money that one has in exchange for other goods or commodities.
It's not a new topic that a lot of people find out that their money is gone and cannot be able to clearly mention or point out, solid things they've used to purchase or buy with such money. This is as a result of unnecessary spendings.

One major effect of this is that it retards one's progress financially, and renders your efforts useless.

In order to avoid such, the following may be helpful
  • Make weekly or monthly budgets of your income and strictly adhere to it.
  • avoid unnecessary buyings on the street
  • Buy the most necessary things you need immediately your income is received.

These and many more are good steps towards avoiding expenses which are termed unnecessary

One of the biggest challenges a lot of people face is the inability to save. As well as it is important to invest it is also very important for you to save.

Making a budget is one of the best ways in which you can use to save a lot of money for yourself. Whenever you are going to the market to buy stuffs, you need to make proper budget of the kind of things you're going to buy because it will help you to stay in line.

If you don't make a budget you may actually buy things you do not plan to buy and end up wasting a lot of money.

Budgeting will also help you to keep track record of your expenditure and this will actually help to improve your savings on the long run.

Anyone who really wants to achieve financial freedom should never neglect the importance of saving and Investing wisely.

The thing is that even if you make a budget and you are not disciplined enough to follow your budget strictly, you will end up wasting your money.

This is why it is very important and necessary that you have a purpose for everything you are doing. When you're purposeful, you will actually save.

Although the budget is necessary to control your spending, but in most cases the budget seems to be less specific. So to avoid unnecessary spendings, we also need to change our "hobby shopping" character or habit, especially online purchases that are addictive if you open shopping applications frequently. , If you want to go shopping monthly to the supermarket, make a shopping list in advance, bring money, only what you need, don't bring an ATM card, debit/credit. Eat less outside the home, both in restaurants and in hotels, it's better to cook yourself. Reduce bills for entertainment purposes such as gym, movie apps etc. You also need to pay your electricity and water bills before they are due so you can avoid fines. To avoid hotel service fees, you also have to know when to check in and when to check out.
