Thanks for sharing these beautiful reminder with us. In this time of cashless policy, we are more exposed to unnecessary spending if we are not the disciplined type. We need to have a way of saving funds and make accessibility to it more tiring for petty things if not carrying physical less cash can't change anything because we just one click away from spending. One fingerprint away from confirming that next unwarranted spending.
 
To avoid excessive lavishing of money , you need to have a working budget.. you need to plan your budget below your income and not even according to your income but below it. And also cut your expenses by getting what you need and not what you want, not always anyways.
 
I will advise you do a budget to work out where you're WASTING cash
If you are spending more than you earn, there’s a simple way to accurately check. The specially designed Budget Planner calculates your genuine annual income and then tells you exactly how much more you spend than you earn.

Most people are shocked by the result, as many of those who think they’re within budget month-by-month aren’t when it’s done over a year. This is the start point of sorting out your cash. If possible, sit down and spend the time to do the budget. The planner also then helps you prioritise your spending.
 
You have done justice to this topic. Kudos to you. I want to add that likeness for betting us another thing that needs be curbed in the the life if an entrepreneur. This is not necessarily bet 9ja alone but not giving enough time to decision making in the area of investment is something that should be critically looked into.
 
Some people find it hard to avoid excess spending but it is very easy. Because you only have to worry about excess spending if you don't have enough money. When you don't have enough money you buy what you need the most, and the rest can wait. For example, Some products like shaving cream may seem extravagant to someone who needs shaving but doesn't have enough money, so that person will most likely go for shaving sticks alone.
 
Sometimes, when you have whole lot of money at hand, you will always be tempted to spend beyond your means. Like I always advise people whenever you get your monthly income share it in the right proportion, allocate to investment, allocate another to your savings,and allocate some other ones to your day today spending and expenditure.
 
One of the more difficult aspects of personal finance is figuring out the best way to utilize our money. For the Millennial generation, especially, it’s tough to figure out how to save big on a small budget. But, the key to lessening your spending is to cut back a little in each area, versus taking out big chunks of your budget all at once. It may take a little work in the beginning but you'll find your financial stress start to decrease once you're able to save and pay off more of your debt. Put any bonus into savings, make meals at home
