How To Create A Secure Financial Future

As we approach the New Year, many of us have started thinking more about our finances. Especially since COVID-19 remains a concern.

It’s not fun if you’re struggling financially and can be very stressful. Sorting out your finances now will help you sleep better at night. It also creates a secure financial future for you and your family.

You’ll also feel amazing knowing you can live within your means and can pay your bills online.

Hopefully, these ideas inspire you to want to take control of your finances…

Track Your Expenses

You can create a secure financial future by getting in the habit of tracking your expenses. Have you thought about keeping a spending diary? Write down what you’re spending your money on and review receipts to see where your money is going.

It also pays to check your bank account daily. You can even use a handy app such as Plum and Emma to help you track your spending.

Tracking your expenses regularly will help you see clearly what you’re spending your money on and opportunities to cut back. There will be no more denial about how much you’re earning and what you’re using your hard-earned paycheck on.

Save for Emergencies

Another way to create a secure financial future is to increase your savings and put away money for emergencies. You never know when you’ll encounter unexpected expenses and need money immediately to cover these costs. E.g. your car breaking down or an unexpected trip to the vet.

While you can choose to pay for these on credit, it can really hurt your financial situation over time if you’re always relying on your credit card and unable to pay off the balance.

Try to put money aside each month so that you can begin to build up your savings. This way, you will have access to money when you need it. It might help to automate the process, so you don’t have to see or touch it.

Protect Your Assets

You’ve worked hard over the years and want to ensure that when you’re gone one day, your loved ones and the future of your money and assets are protected.

Divide and split up your assets according to your wishes by working with Wills Solicitors. Planning for the years ahead will make you feel good knowing that your family’s future is protected and safeguarded.

Pay Off Debts

Being in a lot of debt can be frustrating and overwhelming. It may cause you extra anxiety and stress and can feel like you’re not getting anywhere.

Create a plan to start whittling down your debts according to which have the highest interest rate. It may be a long process. However, once you become dedicated to paying them down, you’ll set yourself up for a bright and secure financial future.

Conclusion

These are many ways you can create a secure financial future for yourself. Use these tips to set yourself up for success so you can worry less about money and get back to living your life to the fullest!

Sorry for the radio silence! We've been helping ou Sorry for the radio silence! We've been helping our new family member settle in 😍 Everyone meet Blue, a Bedlington whippet cross. Cannot believe we picked him up a month ago today! He's such a cheeky chappy and he's growing and changing every day, we've already had such a laugh with him and a million cuddles. Can't wait until he can go on walkies, not long now! I hope he's still as snuggly when he gets older 🤞ALSO very excited that he now has a puppy bestie, as my sister has just brought home a beautiful little Boston Terrier, Bruno 😘

Donated my Reverse Advent Calendar last night at m Donated my Reverse Advent Calendar last night at my local Lidl store! For those of you who missed it, I've been donating one item a day throughout November as part of the UK Money Bloggers #foodbankadvent campaign - all of these items were free using coupons, cashback, and items already in my cupboard 😍 if you can even donate just one item, it's not too late! Most supermarkets will have a collection point at the exit 🎄 #foodbankadvent #foodbank #reverseadventcalendar #christmas #gooddeed #ukmoneyblogger #ukmoneybloggers
🎉 BIRTHDAY FREEBIES 🥳 - I know there's a LOT 🎉 BIRTHDAY FREEBIES 🥳 - I know there's a LOT of talk about Christmas, but if you have a birthday coming up, don't forget to claim those birthday freebies now that most stores and restaurants are open again! I've written a MASSIVE list of 60+ birthday freebies you can claim on your bday, including beauty products, food, drinks, sweet treats, plus loads more vouchers and discounts from your favourite retailers and the link is in my bio 😊 Most of these last anywhere between a week up to a month within your bday date so there's still time to claim if you had a recent celebration. Some of you may have noticed on my stories it was my bday a couple of weeks back (Nov 22 thanks for all your birthday wishes 😘) - I sat in my pjs all day, binge watched The Crown and ate a huge Burger King and cake with @gshack21. It was perfect! 😂 I'm still working my way through birthday treats too 😄 P.S. I've sadly updated it by removing Debenhams and Arcadia group store ones, and my thoughts go out to those people who have lost their jobs so close to Christmas and I hope you find something new soon 🙏🏻
