2. Use a piggy bank. Leave coins and bills in a piggy bank that you can put in a place out of your reach. If possible, save 10% of your income in a piggy bank;
3. Keep records of your expenses. Plan your budget and write down all your expenses, especially if you like to shop. This way you will control where your money is spent and will be able to better understand how to use your income rationally;
4. Follow the 50/20/30 principle. Set aside 50% of your income for mandatory expenses such as groceries, rent, utilities, and transportation. Leave 20% as savings or reserve, and use 30% for yourself and your hobbies;
5. Use the 4 envelope method. Divide your income into 4 parts: 10% for an untouchable reserve, part for basic expenses, a certain amount for a dream (for example, an apartment or a car), and the rest distribute in envelopes and spend within a month.
