How To Take Action
A good way of doing better with money is to think upside down, like with the inverted thinking process. First, make sure to spend less than what you make. This might sound simple, but many people forget it. Even if you don't make a lot, spending less will make you feel like you have more.
To start, look at what you're spending each month. Find places where you can cut back, like eating out less or canceling subscriptions you don't use much. Put that extra money into a savings account. Try to save a little from each paycheck. It doesn't need to be a lot.
Also, don't compare yourself to others. It's not about how much you earn, it's about how much you keep. When you live below your means, you won't stress about bills and you'll have more money to save or use on things that are important to you.
To get better at saving than spending, you can make a game of it. Aim to save a certain amount each week or month. It will feel good to reach your goal. More importantly, you’re setting yourself up for success in the future.
Remember, it's not about the money you make, but the money you keep. If you can master this, you'll always come out ahead, and you can do that by starting small. Keep track of what you save and watch it grow. This way, you'll feel richer, no matter how much you earn.
