Here are some tips to help you save and accumulate more money.

1 Pay yourself and save first, spend what’s left

2 Avoid credit card debt interest

3 Track your income and expenditure

‘T’ for ‘track’ is included in my programme, Master Your Money the S.M.A.R.T Way training. Check it out for free - https://bit.ly/3isugCr.

4 Start saving and investing

Check out www.gov.uk/individual-savings-accounts for more information. Check for the best cash ISA rates at Moneyfacts. Shop around and be prepared to move your money to obtain the best rates.

5 Emergency or contingency funds

6 Loyalty doesn’t always pay - switch suppliers

Check your latest utility statements and check out comparison sites, such as uswitch or moneysupermarket.

7 Reduce your car insurance

8 Review your mortgage

‘R’ for ‘review’ is part of my programme, Master Your Money the S.M.A.R.T Way training. Check it out - https://bit.ly/3isugCr.

9 Check your tax code to pay less to HMRC

10 Look for old bank accounts and pension policies

11 Check for any entitlements to benefits.

12 Reduce your grocery bill

13 Avoid wasting food

14 Explore local charities for help – there is an abundance of food given away by supermarkets

15 Check your workplace or private pension

16 Check your state pension and NI contributions level

17 Use loyalty cards, price match and vouchers and deal finders

Try hacks like VoucherCodes ‘DealFinder’ as a plug-in on Chrome to be alerted to the best deals while buying online.

There are hundreds of money saving apps and discount offers, such as Sweatcoin and BetterPoints, where you can get paid to walk and exchange your steps for store discounts and freebies.

18 Cut energy bills

Check out the Energy Saving Trust for some great energy and money saving hacks.

19 Sell unwanted stuff on resale platforms

You can turn unwanted clothes into cash using resale platforms such as DepopVinted and eBay.

20 Mindset – avoid emotional spending and blowing your salary on payday

In my programmes and YouTube Money Tips Podcast videos I talk about money mindset. A recent survey by Nationwide’s Payday Saveday revealed that 1 in 5 people blow over half their spare monthly wages within 48 hours of payday!

21 Plan, organise and forecast

The key is in planning and organising your expenditure, work, goals, relationships and life! As in the first tip, prioritise essential expenditure and your savings pot, before spending.

Finally, searching for the best deals, tracking and reviewing your finances and being mindful of spending money on things to don’t really need will not only help you get through the current crises but help you form lifelong habits that will enable to build wealth.
