Accounting and control of expenses

Accounting and control of expenses, both personal and family, is a very important moment on the way to achieving financial freedom. And I think it would just be wrong not to mention it.

Earlier, I disclosed the principle of "pay yourself first", so without accounting and cost control, compliance with this principle is very difficult.

It's no secret that we always don't have enough money (no matter how much we earn). And if you take 10-20-30% of this money, which is running out so quickly, to invest and secure your future, then there will be no cash left at all.

Actually, in order for everything not to be to the detriment of your beloved, you need to constantly and accurately account for and control the expenses of your family (or personality). Constantly understand and analyze what goals and needs money is spent on. It is worth noting here that all the time is only until the autopilot is turned on". Then an understanding will come, and the need for cost control will disappear by itself. But how to do it?

* First, it is necessary to make a list of all household needs and requirements;

Secondly, it is necessary to identify the most significant, primary needs from this list.;

* Thirdly, completely eliminate or replace with cheaper ones those expenses that are not significant, i.e. limit yourself a little in spending. There are a lot of possibilities here, from completely avoiding expenses to getting what you want at a discount or discount.

A reasonable question may arise - what kind of financial freedom is it when you need to limit yourself in some way. And no one talks about limitations.

As for the complete exclusion of spending on anything, just think about it - do you need it? When you have a list of needs in front of your eyes, you can ask the following question for each item. Here we are talking more about bad habits, such as smoking, or a bunch of unnecessary junk bought on sale. For example, the 25th cosmetic bag or a hand massager (this is a sore point, I recently found it at home and could not remember the last time I used it).

Just above, I wrote about the discount and discount. We are not talking about second-hand or used items here. For example, did you know that in large chain stores (Auchan, Okey, etc.), in the last hour before closing, prices for cheeses, pastries, and ready meals that did not have time to sell during the day were significantly reduced (you need to sell them somehow - no one will take the treasured products the next day). Or if you cooperate with someone, you can get a significant discount from sellers of household appliances and furniture (wholesale is always cheaper).

Accounting and control of expenses of this kind is simply necessary. And as a result, it turns out that much of what you bought is simply unnecessary and is gathering dust in the far corner or purchased at an inflated price. Based on the data obtained, the funds will remain superfluous, and a solid foundation for budgeting will be laid.
