Pay yourself first!

Saving today for whatever tomorrow brings.

There are always things that crop up where you need a small pot of money to make it happen. Think about when the end of summer nears and you’ve got to go kit the kids out in school uniform again, or your washing machine needs repairing, car breaks down and you have to pay for repairs. There are lots of little things that all add up.

Why Save?

Managing your money better is about balancing out the savings and borrowing. However, just imagine for a minute how great you would feel if, when things like the school uniforms or car repairs come up, you had a pot of money saved you could use, without borrowing! Am sure we all agree that would be a good feeling.

Paying yourself First

You can make that happen. By paying yourself first, you will have a pot of money for everyday essentials and in case of emergencies.

Often, people say that they will start saving when they have the money to save, but actually by saving regularly, even a small amount means that your savings start to build. There will never be a right time to start saving. The time to start is now, today.
