Saving is a tricky business

Some of us are born cash hoarders, while others seem to leak money from our wallets the second we step outside – or log onto the web!

Making some small – almost imperceptible – changes to your lifestyle can help you achieve savings goals.

Here are some great places to start: Gather a list of luxury items that you don’t really need. From café coffees to that weekly magazine or regular beauty treatment – put the cash you’d spend on these luxuries straight into a separate savings  account. You’ll be surprised at how quickly savings add up – and how much of your income you were spending on unnecessary things!

For longer-term financial goals, consider setting up automated debits into a high-interest savings account on your ‘pay day’. Such automated savings can substantially boost your balance whilst minimizing your sense of budgetary restriction.
