With money talks, sometimes it is hard to listen to older ones because they have different ideas. It is not easy to manage money but you have to do it anyway. Here are some general money tips that you should consider:

1.       Establish a system for your bills and receipts

For paper bills, sometimes it is easy to ignore them because you tend to misplace them once you received them. That should not be your practice. Paper bills should be put in one place and then identify which are your priorities. It would help to put them together but sort them according to their category either by dates or priorities. If you are now paperless, at least create a folder in your email especially for your bills and receipts.

2.       Pay your bills individually

When companies start to bill you, it doesn’t matter who comes first because they have their own cut off and due. The ideal thing to do is avoid lumping the billing dates together. Many tend to lump payment of bills on the day of pay day but that will exhaust all your money and you will struggle until the next pay day. The quickest and easiest solution is to adjust the billing dates so you do not struggle from pay check to pay check. If it is possible, call your service provider and change dates.
