Personal finance is a term that covers managing your money as well as saving and investing. It encompasses budgeting, banking, insurance, mortgages, investments, retirement planning, and tax and estate planning. There exists four basic components in financial structure: assets, debts, income, and expenses.
The first step to start saving money is to figure out how much you spend. Record and keep track of all your expenses. Keep your data, organize the numbers by categories, such as gas, groceries and mortgage, and total each amount. Use your bank card and bank statements to make sure you’re accurate—and don’t forget any.

Secondly, once you have an idea of what you spend in a month, you can begin to organize your recorded expenses into a workable budget. Budget your savings. Your budget should outline how your expenses measure up to your income—so you can plan your spending and limit overspending. Be sure to also factor in expenses that occur regularly.

Lastly, one of the best ways to save money is to set a goal. Start by thinking of what you might want to save for—perhaps you’re getting married, planning a vacation or saving for retirement.

Then figure out how much money you’ll need and how long it might take you to save it.

Sometimes the hardest thing about saving money is just getting started. These easy step-by-step guide for how to save money can help you develop a simple and realistic strategy, so you can save for all your short- and long-term savings goals.
