In these
tough economic conditions, people are finding it more and more difficult to
meet their financial goals with virtually stagnant incomes and soaring
expenses. As it has been psychologically proven, people tend to put off long
term savings in order to meet short term expenses. While we all know and
understand the importance of saving for our future, especially for our
retirement when there will be no paychecks to meet our daily expenses, we
seldom stick to the plan of putting something away regularly for our golden
years.
Adam
Ginsberg, the renowned wealth building mentor and online business coach
suggests automating our expenses and savings so that we do not falter in our
long-term saving objectives. According to Ginsberg, here are some ways to automate
our spending.
Contribute to a 401(k)
Build yourretirement nest egg using a 401(K) account. Ginsberg suggests that a 401(K) is
the least that you should be contributing to even if there is little else that
you are doing in terms of savings. If your employer is offering a matching
401(K) contribution, that’s even better since that’s a bonus and extra money
never hurt anyone.
Automate your Bill payments
Automating
your bill payments on your credit or debit card ensures that you never fall
behind on paying your bills for any reason, therefore avoiding late payment
charges and penalties, and also earn reward points on your credit card, which
you can accumulate and redeem later for rewards like air miles.
Manage your Accounts
Having an
accounting software will do you a world of good in keeping track of your income
and spending. There are many software packages available in the market and on
the internet. If you browse around a bit harder, you may find some free ones
too that you can use to manage your accounts.
Having all
your accounting information in one place is great as it gives you a complete
overview of where your finances stand and what steps you may need to take in
order to meet some of your financial goals.
