Too much expenditures? Here’s how you can cut costs

The first way to increase periodic savings and reach ambitious financial goals is to increase revenues. If this were not possible, then one only has another alternative: to lower costs.

We often focus only on earning more money, when in fact the standard of living is the real problem to be solved. Think of how many famous sportsmen and artists, or winners of major awards have gone “on the bill” in just a few years. The pages of the newspapers are full of stories of “former billionaires” who became poor in a few years, not only because they mismanaged their income, but mainly because they didn’t have a clear picture of how costs were draining their resources.

How to manage expenditures?

One way to manage expenditures is to create a series of small routines that will allow you to have small periodic savings. The first routine to implement is to carve out an hour at the end of the month to check your spending. It’s easier than you think: just note down and transcribe every euro that passes through your hands. If you use electronic money a lot, this will be very simple: you simply transcribe the expenses you track, noting down the balance on your bank statement and credit card. As for cash payments, you’ll simply need to keep the receipts and add them up at the end of the month.

Why it is important to do so? Fixed income and expenses must be recorded each month, so that a credible savings goal can be established and a premium chosen. Once you understand your financial situation through the cost check-up, it is good to have in mind some parameters to be respected in order to properly plan your financial future.
