Start with replacing incandescent light bulbs with LEDs. They might be expensive more but last longer and use up less electricity. So you would saving money not buying bulb all the time.

Saving money is a good way to reach your financial goals, such as paying off debt, building an emergency fund, or saving for a big purchase or retirement. Here are a few tips for saving money the smart way:

1. Create a budget: A budget helps you track your income and expenses and identify areas where you can cut back on unnecessary spending.

2. Make a plan: Set specific financial goals, such as saving a certain amount of money each month or paying off a certain amount of debt. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your savings plan.

3. Cut costs: Look for ways to reduce your monthly expenses, such as by shopping around for lower-cost insurance or negotiating a lower rate on your bills.

4. Save automatically: Consider setting up automatic transfers from your checking account to a savings account so that you can save without having to think about it.

5. Invest wisely: Consider consulting with a financial advisor to determine the best way to invest your savings for the long-term.

6. Use cash: Instead of using credit or debit cards, try using cash for your purchases. This can help you be more mindful of your spending and avoid overspending.

By following these tips, you can develop smart money-saving habits and make progress towards your financial goals.

Saving money the right way for me is saving towards a goal.

Goal can be buying a car, changing your wardrobe, investment or anything, if you're saving towards a goal you will be more disciplined with it because when you start making commitment, it will be hard to break and when you remember your end goal it will motivate the more.

I think if one is thinking about a goal why they should save, I think they should set an emergency account and create a new plan and an amount they want to reach and start committing towards it.

Any savings without a goal as an end is probably doomed to pay with time, some tend to think, they can save money and get rich doing that, this is absolutely false, except one wants to save millions while they live like papers, but to getting rich through is a bad idea
