Divide your savings as follows:

  •        Savings for college (How many kids do you have?)        
  •        Savings for weddings (Do you have girls?)
  •        Savings for a replacement vehicle. (How long will your current vehicle last?)
  •        Savings for retirement. (Where do you currently stand with your pension etc?
  •        How much do you aim to have saved up for your retirement?)
  •        Savings for other major purchases. If I need a new (fill in the blank) I will have
                 the money to pay cash and will only pay cash

6. Learn to negotiate a better deal on everything. Negotiation is an art form that anyone can learn. Employing a little bit of haggling can put a little more money  in your pocket!
7.  Understand the interest charges. When you take out a car hire-purchase loan, a housing loan or when you use your credit cards, you must know that you will be paying extra amount of money to cover the interest charges.
8.  Always buy on sale. If you are certain that you will be using items on sale over and over, buy them when they are on sale and stock up. Avoid paying full price.
9.  Be realistic. Set attainable and achievable goals. If your spending is more than your income, cut down on spending. However, if this is not possible for you, increase your income and stay in debt-free positive territory.
10  .Plot your net worth:
Just as an organisation would carry out an audit from time to time to find out its overall performance, it is also recommended that you should do your own personal net worth calculation to keep track of your financial standing. A simple and straightforward calculation is shown below:

Total assets - Total liabilities = Net worth
Total assets: Combine all your money from your savings or checking account, trust funds, property value, car value, stock value, etc.
Total liabilities: Combine all your debts such as home mortgage, credit card balance, etc
Your goal is to have a positive net worth value at all times and it should be I increasing as time goes by.

4. As a rule of thumb, always have at least three months living expenses tucked away should any unforeseen
