1. Track your spending and create a budget.
2. Set financial goals and prioritize them.
3. Automate your savings by setting up automatic deposits into a savings account.
4. Make use of credit cards, but only if you can pay off the balance in full every month.
5. Cut back on non-essential purchases.
6. Look for ways to save money such as taking advantage of discounts or using coupons.
7. Consider looking for part-time jobs to help increase your income and lower your expenses.
