Saving is WAY easier than you think!

It's amazing how making the most minor tweaks to your financial habits can result in SIGNIFICANT savings.

By altering your spending patterns and reducing expenses whenever feasible, you can EASILY put aside some extra cash each month.

And it doesn’t need to feel like deprivation — we’ll talk about “where” to trim spending so you don’t feel like you’re being tortured.

Everyone always *thinks* that small purchases or minor changes do not amount to much, but the truth is that over time, they can add up to a substantial amount, including something as simple as your regular morning latte from Starbucks (which I know is HIGHLY controversial in finance — we’ll talk more about this later on).

Firstly, if you’re trying to save more money, it’s important to define “why”, so that creating better financial habits are tied to an outcome (maybe you’re saving for a wedding, a fancy vacation, etc).

Understanding your “why” also makes the process of slashing spending feel less laborious.

For me, my “why” is that I’d like the financial freedom to retire sooner.

I’ll probably work until I’m 80 or my body totally gives out.
