After a month of literally going through the trenches of our financial woes, payday is always a glorious day that literally brings joy to our lives, especially before our debit orders hit.
Seemingly, because of this, we can’t wait to splash that cash.
On Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana, Andy delves into the joys of payday, as well as what Feel Good listeners splurge on during payday.
In light of this conversation here are a few tips to avoid overspending on payday:
- Ask yourself: ” Do I really need it?”- This will allow you to understand the importance of what you need to buy and what you want.
- Try to save- Saving money can be very challenging, but it is extremely important.
- Try your best to avoid temptation- Having self-discipline will give you the willpower to avoid the temptation of spending your hard-earned money on unnecessary items.
- Draw up a budget- Setting up a budget is the best way to curb payday splurges. Allocating money for specific things means you would have less cash on hand to spend.
