Before the month ends we all received our statement bills that include credit card dues, house rent, utility bills, and many more. Admittedly, some of us get caught up by our due payments that we often forget ourselves. To simply say, we must include a bill to ourselves. This payment is called savings. No matter how tight our finances are, we must not forget to include money for savings in our monthly expenses.
Even though paying yourself seemed like a crazy idea, not to mention, sounds selfish, it can actually help your finances in the long run. Imagine if you pay $20 or $50 a month to yourself, and if you sum them all up, in a year, you will have a huge amount in your bank account. Alternatively, you can cut 10% off from your monthly check as a payment to oneself. Before you know it, you will be a thousand dollars richer in a year. You can use it for travels and other treats.
Nonetheless, do not forget to pay your monthly bill the one that you charged yourself with. It makes take some time to adjust to this new situation, but with time and dedication, you’ll get used to it.
