How To Start Saving Money

Hey everyone :wave:

What advice would you give to someone that was trying to save money for the very first time?

We’ve written a few suggestions here, but keen to hear what tips everyone else has!

This sounds like such a good idea. What do you use to split the money out?

I do a similar thing except I don’t use pots, just different bank accounts (one for savings, one for bills, etc). Not really sure why I haven’t adapted to using pots yet :older_woman:t3:

This is interesting! So you know that you can spend £80 a day if you wanted to, but you still aim to spend as little as possible so have money leftover?

Definitely here for making savings fun!

I feel like when you set these restrictions for yourself it just makes you want them more. Like telling yourself you can’t eat crisps/ donuts and then all you can think about is crisps and donuts… :sweat_smile:

As a side note to this, I also think that leaving some wiggle room for impulse buys in your budget can help - that way you don’t feel bad about spending, but you’re also not going wild and spending too much money :woman_shrugging:t2:
