If you have never totaled what you earn and what you spend to see how much extra money you have left after the bills are paid,

now is the time to do it and you are on your way to thinking about planning a budget. Just follow a few budget tips below can help you start spending less money and saving more. Be creative and really think about the type of budget you need for your family.

Budgeting tips to save money:

* Only charge what you can pay off quickly and on time. Having a

credit card helps keep some credit history. Make sure your credit

stays in good shape. Don't over use it to over spend or shop

when stressed.

* Eat out less, do more free entertainment at home than spending

money going out to be entertained. Have friends over for

fellowship and fun. You can save hundreds of dollars each year

that could be saved or used to pay down debts. Put the money

you would have spent in a jar only to use when you have a

couple of hundred dollars saved. Seeing the savings can be

motivating. It takes doing this to create the habit of saving.

* Learn to stay home more, going out means you will probably

spend at lease $50 or more.

* Go for walks with your family or just get out doors to raise your

spirits and be happy doing simple things at home instead of

taking the family out to spend money on fleeting events. Create

family chores that can be done together and make it a positive

activity. Build family ties and do more yourself instead of hiring

projects that must be paid for to save more money.

* Learn to live beneath your means. Stop spending on needless

stuff, only buy what is really needed, see what you can do

without to save even more money.

* Turn out lights, use lamps, don't heat or cool rooms you don't

use, lower or raise thermostats to save money on heating and

cooling, eliminate some hobbies, reduce trips and conserve gas,

consider a car pool, stick to basic colors for clothes and shoes,

learn to do more family games, reduce shopping trips to the

mall, buy what is used the most in quantities, don't buy small

prepackaged foods, use coupons only for the things you really

use so you don't spend money to purchase foods you don't use.
