All the signs suggest that inflation is not going away but will be a problem for some time to come. We are all accustomed to low inflation figures, but 5% overall inflation and above is going to require adjustments to spending habits. The good news is that the changes are doable.
Some Worthwhile Ideas
We are not talking about dramatic changes to your investment portfolio. Instead, we want to look at what steps financial wellness. These are not complicated and can help anyone meet inflation challenges.
- Know Your Cash. You should have an idea of how much money is coming into your pocket monthly and where that money is going. It makes sense and it is amazing how many people have no idea and live paycheck to paycheck.
- Cut Back on the Unnecessary. People will sign up for all kinds of programs online such as education, book clubs, fitness programs, etc. It is easy to do, and the monthly amounts are not that large. Nevertheless, it is money slipping through your fingers. It is an excellent idea to do a quick audit of what you are paying out and how many of those services do you use. Cut back on the ones that you do not.
- Set Aside Some Savings. Emergencies are going to suddenly come out of nowhere and you must prepare for them. Setting aside some money every month for savings helps you cushion any unexpected blow. A great time to start doing those set-asides is when you receive a pay raise.
- Watch Your Credit Cards Carefully. You might be paying more in interest fees than you should have to. If that is the case, pay off the balance on the credit card and cancel it. Automatic payments on a monthly basis can be arranged with your bank so that you do not forget. That is important to avoid a late penalty.
