Become a money-saving guru
Rounding it up
The first step to becoming a stellar saver is acknowledging it’s ok to feel behind.
Second, you need to start setting aside money regularly. Saving money is something you need to incorporate into your daily life like brushing your teeth.
Prioritize setting up a slush fund, then start contributing to medium and long-term saving goals.
Don’t forget, there are some great tools out there to help you achieve your savings goals, like automatic payments and Tax Free Savings Accounts (TSFAs).
