There are so many ways to save money, but sometimes we can get stuck in a rut when it comes to overspending. However, there are women out there who are basically pros at saving and always having money in the bank. So give these habits a read and let us know what you think!
Budgeting
Budgeting is just like laying down the first brick of your house. Women who always have money have all their financial paperwork organized, know what bills are due, and what their income can accommodate. Making a budget and then strictly following it is the most vital first step in saving cash.
No impulsive buying
If it doesn’t matter in 5 years, then don’t waste 5 minutes on the item. Think about whether you’ll want this in a few years or even in just a couple weeks. This can make all the difference.
She has savings
A money-savvy woman knows that she always needs savings and an emergency fund. It can be easy to spend all the money you have on things you do or don’t need, but if you can set a budget and automatically withdraw money into your savings account, then you’re going to get ahead.
Credit cards are a lie
Credit cards keep telling you that you have $10,000 to spend (when it comes to how much you can buy with the credit card), when all you really have is $1,000. Cut up those cards and keep them as far away from you as possible.
Investing is a habit and the retirement fund is already in the making
It’s never too early to start investing in stocks and thinking about your retirement. Do your research before doing this, but don’t wait until you’re older to start investing because the earlier you start the more you have saved.
She keeps track of all her financial transaction
Knowing where you’re spending your money is key to saving and always having money in the bank. You can use apps and journals to keep track of your spending and know where everything is going,
One source of income is never enough
Make sure that you are well secured with different income streams. This could be anything from rental properties to investments. And if anything happens, you’re covered.
She takes another look
Whether it’s her broken heels or a laptop screen, there’s always a way to get these expensive things fixed before you throw them out. So before tossing, see what can be done to restore your belongings.
I love sharing helpful tips and habits of those who are great savers. So give these a try yourself and let us know how it goes!

However, they started to realize that they had a passion for improving themselves, and wanted to help others level up their lives as well.

This had some great points and tips. I do like the if it doesn’t matter in 5 years thought. Smart, I do not agree on credit cards being a disaster. It can def lead to disaster if you don’t pay it off or overspend. Thank you!

I was on Medicaid. Then I lost it cause I didn’t want to do their QIT Account; they’d have even more control over my funds; I already had to deplete my nice little nest egg I had for vacations or emergencies; cause it helped to put me way over budget. Anyway thats done. Now I want to put my life and finances back together.
