2. COUNT IT OUT.If you're not used to saving, you're going to need to get accustomed to counting.Use an app like Mint or Spendbook to literally visualize your spending. This will allow you to see where you can make changes each week.
3. CHOOSE ONE UNNECESSARY EXPENSE & CUT IT OUT.An unnecessary expense is something like how often you go out to eat or the size of your shoe budget, not your water bill or student loans. 😉
4. BETTER UTILIZE CREDIT REPAIR.If your credit IS repaired, it means lower interest and less fees. See the link below for more information about Credit Repair through Lexington Law.
6. BREAK IT DOWN BY YOUR AGE.The linked article from Lexington Law provides more information about how you can use each decade to grow your emergency fund.
7. ONCE YOU'RE ABLE TO, MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR EMERGENCY FUND AUTOMATIC.Even just putting a small amount in automatically makes growing your emergency fund less daunting.
