As much as we’d all like to splurge and pamper ourselves every time that paycheck or allowance comes in, saving must always be a street smart fashionista’s first instinct.
The root of independence is always economic. You can’t call yourself an independent woman if you rely on your parents or your man for that precious shopping money, or worse, your bills.
So here are 5 tips on how to FORCE yourself to SAVE, regardless if you’re a student, an employee or a budding entrepreneur/freelancer.
1. Divide your spoils – once you receive your spending money, make sure that you immediately separate the amount needed for your bills – one envelope for your house/rent, another for your utilities, phone and internet line, another for your credit card and so on and so forth. Then keep them at home until that due date nears – or better yet, pay in advance.
