Billboard It’s time to start saving

-

Here we go again. You have to spend for this. And spend for that. It never ends! After paying your child’s school tuition, buying new school uniforms, new books and all, you still have to deal with your regular monthly expenses. Sigh. It’s true when people say, it’s not easy to save money nowadays.

The problem with some money-saving tips is that sometimes you still have to buy things like energy-conserving gadgetsor 2nd hand clothes or items. Sometimes you even have to change your lifestyle. It’s really not sustainabl­e for many people, right?

But don’t worry. There are simple, practical ways to organize and save on your monthly expenses.

Know what you are spending for and where all your money goes every month. Make a list of your regular expenses like electricit­y and water bills, rent, LPG, groceries, commuting budget, etc. Separate your money for each. Put the money in separate envelopes so you won’t spend it on anything else.

This will help you buy the things your family really needsand avoid buying the things you don’t need. Plus, you won’t have to spend on going back to the grocery for the things you forgot to buy. It’s going to cost you more.

You know this. You don’t have to spend on energy-saving gadgets. Just turn-off the lights when no one is in the room. Don’t use the aircon when a fan is cool enough. You don’t need to have your TV on when eating dinner, right? Spend some quality time talking with your family during dinner. It’s a lot better to bond with family! Remember, prevention more affordable than the cure. So try to stay healthy and keep your family healthy as well. So make sure you put aside a part of your budget for vitamins and medicine for your family every month.

Now, there’s a way to make sure that your budget for you and your family’s health will not be used for other things. Generika Drugstore has the service: MEDPadala.
