By doing this, individuals will be able to keep track of the amounts spent. Accordingly, this could be rearranged in coming months.
- An Emergency Fund
Have a separate amount for an emergency situation. This amount could be separated from the usual monthly savings. This does not have to be a fund of greater value; a small value could be allocated each month.
- Plan for Retirement
A retirement fund could be planned out and an amount could be separated for this purpose. After a number of years this would be of a much greater value and often individuals find this very useful. Savings of such nature is much more meaningful than spending temporary items.
