Everything is so expensive today. Here’s how you can make the most of your money.

1. Start Small

When you get paid, choose how much money you want to save. Do this before you start spending anything. It can even be 10c.

Start now. On day one, put 10c into a container. Then, the next day, put in 20c, and the next day 30c. If you add 10c more every day to what you saved yesterday, you’ll have R6 679.50 at the end of one year!

2. Reward Yourself

When you’ve done well, and made good decisions, give yourself a little treat. This will help you to stick to your saving plan.

3. Go Shopping With a List

If you buy only what you really need, you won’t waste money, and you’ll have more money every month to save.
