You know that day we all pray for, the day that trumps all other days of the month. Yes, that is right – its pay day! By now most of you will have been paid for October and are itching to think of ways to spend it.
We are all guilty of saving images or products, holidays and events we want to attend once we have the dollar bills in our pocket. But, are we also guilty of spending our wages and are left the last two weeks of the month skint and getting friendly with our overdraft? Yes, you are all secretly nodding and shamefully checking your banking apps. Why do we do this to ourselves? We know we will get stressed at having no money plus, events and spending opportunities don’t stop the last two weeks of each month.
This may be an unusual blog for a recruitment agency to post but, we are all about helping about candidates and clients not just for finding new jobs. But for you to be happy and balanced in every aspect of life.
We are fast approaching 2019, (eek!) and just like every year we promise to save money and not spend it all. Let’s do this together and get our plan of action ready early!
There are huge benefits to saving your money, if not being stressed is not enough then here are a few more:
Set yourself a goal and a reasonable target! Don’t put away half of your wages in the hope to save more faster, start off small and work your way up to when you get used to spending less. Over time the money left in your account will come to be the figure you live by, especially if you set up a direct debit so the saving is done for you! You control what happens in your life, don’t follow the crowd – look after you!
