It’s not that some people are just good savers and others aren’t, savers work hard to save their money.

To help you, LifeDaily shares 9 Things Successful Savers Do:

1. They know that small amounts add up to something big

They don’t think that saving $5 here or $20 there is pointless. They know that it adds up to a lot of money over time.

2. They create a budget

Savers always have budgets, because without one they wouldn’t even know where to begin. Create your budget around your monthly/weekly salary, and start by saving 5%-10%.

3. They plan how they will save

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Successful savers don’t spend carelessly; they plan how much they are able to spend in each area of their lives, and they execute their plan.

4. They have specific goals that they are working towards

Savers write down their goals, and they are working towards something bigger- be it retiring early, or quitting their job to start their own business. They know what they are saving so hard for, which makes it a lot easier.

5. They have an account for each goal

Maybe one account is a college fund, maybe another is a house fund. Doing this will allow you to see exactly how much you are saving in each area, therefore enable you to track your progress.

6. They start now

Savers know that the best time to start saving is now- way before they need the extra money. Just because their finances are completely fine now, they know that unexpected things happen, so they plan for a rainy day.

7. They auto deposit money into their savings

Immediately upon receiving their paycheck, they deposit  the money directly into their savings. It’s hard to get upset over something you didn’t have in the first place, so depositing immediately allows them to not feel that loss of money.

8. They envision their end

They are constantly picturing and imagining their end goal in their minds. This helps them stay motivated to save.

9. They make saving a habit

The more you do something, the easier it is to do, even with saving. Once it becomes a habit, it’s relatively easy, and saving money is a great habit to have!
