THEY RUTHLESSLY CUT SPENDINGSometimes it’s hard to cut out extra luxuries when youdon’t have many as it is, but focus on your priorities. Do

you really need to pay for cable every month, or could yousave some money by switching to a netflix and hulu

account?

By cutting the waste and being ruthless with yourspending, you’ll be able to add to your savings account.

Successful budgeters know they have to cut expenses nowso that they can enjoy their savings later.

THEY FIND FUN WAYS TO WORKAROUND THEIR BUDGET

It can be really fun to buy tickets to a museum oramusement park to enjoy spending time with friends or

family, but it can be equally as fun to not buy tickets, andattend a free day at the museum, or going to a park that

doesn’t have an admission fee.

There are lots of easy ways to work around budgeting, itdoesn’t have to be something that sucks all of the fun out

of your life.

THEY TELL THEIR FRIENDSABOUT THEIR BUDGET

If you have good friends who like to go out more frequently than you,share your priorities with them. You don’t have to talk numbers, but

just let them know you’d like to do some fun, free activitiesoccasionally too. Successful budgeters know that the right friends,

the ones who care, will be on board and support their priorities.

THEY DON’T LET EXPENSIVETHINGS TEMPT THEM

Successful budgeters don’tdelude themselves into thinkan expensive item will makethem rich. They know thattheir priorities are sound

and, sure, while they’ll neverbe Kanye and Kim, their

families will be healthy andwell-taken care of.
