5 Strategies To Help You Avoid Running Out Of Money

1. How much do you need versus how much do you want?

Many people fall into the trap of spending the amount they desire without considering the amount of money they bring in each month.

If you want to spend $8,000 a month and bring in $5,000 a month, you’ll find yourself diving deep into a pit of debt, and you will always run out of money.

Step 1: Determine how much money you need

Step 2: Spend less than this amount.

Step 3: Determine how much money you desire to spend.

Step 4: Increase your income to meet this amount.

Step 5: Don’t spend how much money you desire to spend until you increase your income.

2. Where tf is your money going?

You can’t know where your money is going if you’re not tracking it. The only way to track your money is to review your spending from your account (many banks now offer account breakdowns) or utilize a budget; both options are helpful.

Until you know better, you can’t do better. The more visibility you have with your money, the better you will handle your money.

3. Endless emotional spending

Emotional spending doesn’t mean shopping when you’re stressed or depressed; it also includes impulse and unplanned purchases and peer pressure buys.

If you fall into any of these categories, you will have to learn how to implement financial boundaries, or you will wipe your bank accounts out and load up your credit cards.

Most of these pieces of advice are common sense, but common sense is also easy not to do.

4. Never increasing your income

Sometimes the problem that centers around your needing more money is that you never invest the effort to increase your income.

Remember, you can only decrease your expenses to zero, but your income is limitless.

5. Controlling your desires

The fewer desires you have, the more income you will keep, and the less you will need.

If you have more desires, you will want to spend more money. One could also say if you have more desires, you will want to earn more money.

But if you have few desires, your actions will always be less controlled by money.
