The journey to successful and an improved financial life starts from early part of your life. The more you start early the more financial benefits you will enjoy in your life. If you look at finance health of any successful person you will note two important things, one is commitment to improve financial status and other is self financial discipline. The key to a good financial life is proper planning at early stage of your life, patience to invest, take action at right time , and lastly persistence will get you at magic number.

The first important lesson of saving is taking some amount of money out of your earnings every month and keeping that in some interest earning account such as saving or CD accounts. The key is to take money first out from monthly earnings and not wait till you meet your obligations to grocery bills, mortgage payments, utility bills, and child care etc. If you wait till end you will either have very little left at the end or left with no money. Following strict discipline to take fixed money out from your earning to saving account in no time will build your cash reserves. This is time tested formula and has worked from ages. Just taking $300 from your monthly earnings for a year will save you $3600. This is just an example. Bring saving culture to your kids. Encourage them to save a part of their pocket money to their saving account. Even if they save small amount as $10 but this habit of saving it will help them immensely in future.

Another important lesson to learn in life is to be content in life. Never fall into a rat race to accumulate consumer and apparels goods in your house. Most of the time we stuff our self with unwanted stuff and end up spending good amount of money on such items. One more thing is to bring strict discipline in your life about shopping. At no point shopping should become a hobby. People with shopping habits often blow large amount of money on buying expensive items, which otherwise would have resulted into a nice saving.

Show less dependence on plastic cards. Yes, you got it, I am talking about credit cards. They are good as long one uses them in limits. Credit cards are good to keep and use for large items and pay responsibly on time. I personally keep credit card only to avoid carrying large money in pocket and use them to pay large ticketed items which I pay back to credit card companies without adding any penalties or interest. I only have two credit cards and I use them only for special things. Do not use your credit card for cashing money. The cash out feature looks great but comes with high interest. Having access to credit availability is good option but should be used only when needed. Don’t fall into minimum payment cycle, it is a trap, people may not realize but if you pay minimum amount on your credit card balance your loan term increases by many year.

Do you own or rent? Market is good for owning a home or renting a home? Look at market condition and see what option is better for you. Most of the time owning a home makes sense as it builds your equity in home coupled with saving in tax returns.

One of the least focused area for savings is food and drinks. This area often is neglected by people as they don’t see much saving here. Just by cooking at home depending less on daily lunch and dinners could save you hundreds of dollars. Get into action cook at home, pack your lunch and use refillable bottles for water. Get your grocery in bulk from retailers will save you another few bucks. Together all these budget cuts and sensible shopping will save you hundreds of dollars.

Do you buy used items or factory furbished items. There is no shame in using such items as long they are clean and in good shape. They save a lot of money to consumers.

Many people don’t appreciate opening a retirement account in their first year of job. Starting an account early will give you head start in retirement investment and by middle of your life you will see your end goal approaching fast. Many companies give you option of enrolling to 401K retirement account. The best part of this account is your employer will match your contributions and contributions are tax free. Start early and protect your future.

To be on top of your finance you need to plan your monthly budget. Keeping tab on your expenses and planning your spending for next month will give you greater insight into your finance dealing. This exercise will help you to manage your finance and also same time allows you to correct mistakes.

There are just few time tested things by which one can bring discipline and quality in his or her financial life. Get in touch with financial advisor for a proper financial independence plan. Investing in many buckets and saving on a monthly basis is sure way to get improved financial life.
