I love the quote that Eden Ashley lists on her blog, “It’s not your salary that makes you rich, it’s your spending habits.” By Charles A. Jeffe While many of us wonder why our pockets feel empty when our paycheck was just deposited, we should really stop and take a look at where our money is actually going. Do you budget? Or should I ask, do you stick to your budget? It’s easy to say that our entry-level position or even hourly job makes it impossible to get out of debt and build up a savings. Yet, so many find themselves debt-free after a few years of dedication and determination to focus on their finances. Eden’s blog, How I Saved $35,000 in Less Than Two Years on an Entry-Level Salary, really got me thinking about applying a realistic budget for my lifestyle, spending my money wisely and setting both short and long-term goals. Eden lists 10 easy-to-apply ways to get started on saving. From becoming a smart shopper to paying yourself first it’s time that we all inch towards the frugal life where debt-stress can eventually melt away and true living begins. How to you find yourself saving money these days?
