Save Yourself From Overspending!!
Trying to stick to a budget isn’t easy for some of us. But what you might not realize is that certain factors such as the way you are feeling can actually cause you to spend more. So, before you let your mood get the best of you, here are a few tips in order to help keep your budget on track.
Avoid These Budget-Busting Triggers!!
First, how many times can you think of that you have run to the store to get some milk and come back with a couple of bags full of items. We all have right? So don’t worry you are not alone on this one. According to a study done by Visa 34% of people say that the supermarket is where they overspend the most. A great way to curb this habit is to make a list and only include the things that you absolutely need. This will help you stay on track and will help you save tremendously over time.
Another way that many of us tend to over spend is when it comes to vacations. We tend to only include airfares and hotels but that’s only half of the costs. The best way to making sure you include everything you think that you may be spending is by making a list and compromising. If you have your heart set on staying in that 4-star hotel then cut back on other things in order to stay within your budget.
And, special occasions can really end up being budget killers. When it comes to your best friends birthday or even a family wedding, you can feel obligated to buy something super expensive to show that you care. If this is the case the best way to deal with this is to put aside even $20 a week so that when it comes time to buy a gift you have enough money to spend without dipping into your savings.
Finally, stress can really get the best of all of us and that may even include an unnecessary shopping trip. So, before heading straight for retail therapy, be sure to exercise first. Exercises like yoga or taking a 20-minute walk will help you get your mood back on track in no time without spending a penny!
