How to put the fun back into your funds.
Your money is yours. You earned it, and you deserve to feel good about spending it. Follow these simple tips to get back to better budgeting and smarter spending.
1. Spend with a friend.
Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, if you do it with a trusted friend, you can keep each other in check. It could make the difference between finding a budget-friendly bargain, or going on a bank-breaking binge.
2. Know your limit.
Healthy spending means only spending money you’ve actually got to spare. Before your next shopping trip, try setting a limit and sticking to it.
3. Buy now, pay now.
“Buy now, pay later” services can make it really easy to go over budget. But late payment fees can stack up quickly, so it’s worth thinking twice before you turn today’s spending spree into tomorrow’s problem.
4. Make a spending resolution.
New year, new you, new “never again”. Turn your spending hangover to healthier habits in 2025. You’ve got this!
