How to Save a lot of Money Fast

-
I decided one day to save money (a lot of money) fast - as quickly as possible. And I did it. Now I looked back and wondered how I did it. These are 5 things that I reckoned made me able to save a lot of money fast - as quickly as possible.
  1. I have a burning desire (a goal).
I know the reason I must save money fast. It is because I have my burning desire - my goal.
That is, I want financial freedom and financial independence.
I know shopping and going clubbing cost a lot of money and give me short term happiness.
However, I know that financial independence and financial freedom will give me a more permanent happiness and a huge sense of achievements.
For financial independence and financial freedom, I persisted to save as much money as possible quickly. And I did it.


  1. I created a daily actionable items
I have a SMART goal which I broke down to a set of smart small and measurable (daily) actions, which made it easy for me to achieve my goal.


It is easier because I just have to do the small broken down goals everyday and by the end of the year, without realizing it, I achieved it (my goal).
For example, when I decided to save as much as possible, I cut all unnecessary expenses. That means, no take away lunches, coffees and snacks, no shopping, no fines and/or late fees. Click here to find out how to cut expenses.


So I set daily action item:
Click here about my real budgeting process and why I emulated the envelope technique budgeting system.
Everyday, I just have to do those steps and  step by step. It is much easier to bite and chew small bites, instead of biting and chewing one large chunk. And (it feels) in a blink of an eye (in around 1 year), I accumulated a lot of savings.
Why daily?
It is small.
It is easier to do.
It is easier to snowball into little achievements and then into bigger achievements. Suddenly, by the end of the year, it is massive achievements.
  1. I have side incomes
I have side incomes that helped me to save a lot of money fast.
Of course I have days and weeks where I splurged on takeaway dinners and lunches, because I was too tired. The side incomes helps to increase my overall savings.
I obtained side incomes from:
I have now stopped day trading and forex trading. It is too time consuming.


  1. I have a budget that works
I created a budget that works for me. Click here to find out how to save money through budgeting. And click here on how I created a budget that works for me.
Creating a budget that works is an evolution rather than a 1 step process. Keep asking yourself every end of pay period, and see your expenses and savings. Keep asking yourself, where can I improve?
Few things I learn:
  • Make sure you are happy.
  • Do not sacrifice something that you love and that give you sanity, just because you want to save money.
  • Ensure you prioritize your health, eat healthy and nutritious food.
  1. I stick to my budget that works
Creating a plan without doing it, is useless.
Creating a great plan to achieve to your goal and sticking to it, is great.  Click here to find out on how to stick to your budget.
Sticking to a plan and/or to a budget needs:
  • discipline
  • grit
  • most importantly, your burning desire - your ultimate goal - something that you are willing to sacrifice for.
So I hope that you can now save a lot of money fast or as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, ideas, thoughts or comments, please feel free to leave a comment below.

1. Know exactly all of your expenses . List all of your expenses - write all of them down to the specific and exact details. Know exactly the following detail about your expenses: i). What are they? Gas bill, electricity bill, water bill,  hot water bill, food or grocery bill, home phone & internet bill,  mobile phone bill, private health insurance bill, public transport tickets, fuel costs, car insurance bill, home insurance bills (building & content insurance, or renter's insurance), rent or mortgage payment, council rates, body corporate rates, socialising and  entertainment expenses, etc. ii).

For my annual home insurance bill, annual car registration cost and annual landlord's insurance bills, I k...

How to really save money?

-
I am a very good money manager. I save a very high amount of my salary consistently every payday. I was saving 75% of my income consistently in the last three years. I have zero debt. I paid everything, including car, with cash - no loans. I aimed to be able to afford a house with cash, too. I am not a weirdo frugal. I wear reasonably nice clothes, shoes and accessories (bags, watch and jewellery). I go out and enjoy nice dinners occasionally. And no, I am not a high income earner. I earn $70,000 gross per year. And no, I don't earn any bonuses at all. And no, I don't get anything (money, gifts, presents, bribes, or anything alike) from anyone, at all. People always come up to me and literally complained, "why can you have that?" "how do you  afford that?" "how do you have enough money?" "you must have a rich boyfriend!" All sort of negativities. I always say "save, have zero debt and pay cash for everything." May b...

Life lessons for 20 something

Work part time whilst studying . Not just for the money, but also for the precious skills. Because in working life, you won'the get promoted just because you complete cases well, but because of who you know, because of your people management skills, etc. Where to work? Work for someone who will invest in your development. Work in a place where you can gain skills that allows you to move up the career ladder. Work in a place where someone is willing to mentor you - to develop you, personally. Work in a place where you can gain a proper graduate placement once you obtain your qualification. Save your money . The cost of living once you graduated will be high. Think in terms of cost of purchasing a house, cost of wedding and (sooner than you will realise) cost of family (wife, parents and child, and later, children's education cost). Invest in shares. And reinvest the dividend s. If you have a bit more money, invest in property. Buy an investment property that will p...
