Checking your cashflow

If you think that saving is hard work and you never seem to have enough money, then it will pay you to sit down at the end of each week and monitor your cash flow. That's fancy language for counting up every cent to see where it all went. In fact, you can do this throughout the day, or at the end of every day so you don't forget. Count that coffee or soft drink, the newspaper or magazine you bought, the snack bar, lunch and whatever else you bought each day.

Start to think like a pro. Tell yourself you can do it, instead of thinking you can't, all the time. If you truly have trouble keeping money in your pocket, consider having a set amount deducted automatically into your savings account from your pay before you get it. That way you won't be tempted to spend it.

Reward yourself at certain points along the way towards your goal. If you like to go out for dinner or entertainment, choose a cheaper way of doing it than you normally would. There is plenty of free entertainment available at various times. Often your library will have ads featuring free or cheap entertainment. A walk on the beach or a backyard barbie is as good fun and much cheaper than a trip to the movies or dinner at an exclusive restaurant.
