For those facing financial hardships, it can be challenging to find ways to increase your income. However, solutions can often be right in front of our eyes, but we don't realize it or we simply don't question our habits. Today, I'm going to give you some examples of small habits that you can adopt to have more money in your bank account.
CONTROL YOUR IMPULSES
I'm not an extravagant spender, but sometimes I get carried away by emotion and impulsiveness. When I realize, the money has already been spent and what seemed like a fundamental need becomes something dispensable. Is it really necessary to buy that new trendy shirt? Does it really suit your style? Do you really need a top-of-the-range cell phone? Is it essential to install a spoiler on your car? Do you really need all the latest gadgets at home? When we face financial difficulties, it is crucial to ask these questions and reflect on our choices.
LEARN BASIC SKILLS
Nowadays, many people lack basic skills which prevent them from being independent. They turn to third parties to solve problems they could solve themselves, saving hundreds or even thousands of euros per year. A simple example is not knowing how to cook and therefore eating in restaurants every day. A simple orange juice in a restaurant can cost several euros, while buying oranges and making the juice at home is much cheaper. Imagine how much money you could save in a year just by making small changes like this.
INVEST YOUR MONEY
Investing is not limited to the stock market or cryptocurrencies. Every purchase you make can be considered an expense or an investment. For example, purchasing high-quality equipment for your work can be an investment as it increases your efficiency. However, buying something just on impulse can be an unnecessary expense. Think about investing in education, new skills and things that add value to your life and potentially bring returns in the future.
FIND YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE
Define your goals, values and principles. Decide who you want to be and what you want to achieve. Don't let yourself be carried away by momentary impulses that could cost you dearly in the long run. When you know what you want and follow a purposeful path, financial decisions become more meaningful on your journey.
Remember, the path to a healthier financial situation can start with small changes in habits and conscious choices. By adopting these practices, you will be in control of your finances and on the path to a more secure and prosperous future.
