How I Can Control Small Expenses

Lesson 5

Hey there!
To start off, I don’t really tend to have financial problems. I have a good paying job and don’t spend a lot of money (unless it is for an investment). However, I can share what I am doing and a few things I can do better to control small expenses.

So, one of the things I do to control money is to track where it is going. So, when I spend something, I write down on a piece of paper that I spent ‘blank’ amount of money on ‘such-and-such.’ Also, when I get paid, I write down how much I got paid. Another thing I could do, though it may not really mater, is to write down the date that I spent or earned a certain amount of money.

Another thing I could do, is to make a list of all the things I need before I go to the store, look up how much they are going to cost me, and then bring only that amount of money (maybe a little more in case of emergency).

Also, when I do buy something it might be bought at a place where things are pretty cheap, like Dollarama, the Dollar Store, a thrift store (such as the Salvation Army), or Kijiji. Especially with places like Kijiji, remember to have patience. You can save a lot of money waiting for the right ad.

Thanks for reading!
