Spending Too Much? Here’s What To Do

Its not the easiest thing these days to save and build your wealth. You cannot focus on the future of building your wealth and doing other financial things with savings if you cannot fix the small things your are spending your money on.

If your monthly spending is exceeding your monthly income, than you are OVERSPENDING.   When people want to save money, they first must look at what they are spending their money on.

Ways to cut spending:

Cutting expenses. — This doesn’t always have to be tragic and everyone will have a different idea of what expenses they can cut.   For some it will be going to the movies for others it could be cutting back on restaurant meals.   Or possibly giving up the cable that you are never home to watch anyway.

Eliminate impulse buys. — Make a list of your needs and stick to the list and only the list.   Don’t just buy something you don’t need because the deal is too good to pass up.

Analyze how you are spending your money. — Many credit card companies will do this for you.   You need to understand how much are you really spending on gas, food, clothes etc.

Key Points:

  • 1The biggest problem people face in creating wealth is realizing that their monthly income is not enough for them to save money to achieve their goals.
  • 2In order to save money every month, you need to eliminate your impulse buys and reprogram your spending patterns when you shop.
  • 3Next, take a critical look at how you spend your money by signing up for an expense aggregation tool such as Mint.com and review your transactions over a 90-day period.


Saving isn’t about making sacrifices. It’s about keeping your priorities and getting more of what you really want.
