How To Save More By Spending Smarter

How to Save More by Spending Smarter?

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Financial Plan

The willingness and the ability to save money is the secret of building wealth. So as to save money, you need to spend less than you actually earn. Though it looks very simple when you say it, it is really difficult to implement. There are plenty of ways to help you start saving money even on a very tight budget. Saving money or spending less is all about the personality, belief system, values of a family.

To be smart, spend carefully.
To be wise, save regularly.
To be genius, give extravagantly. – Chip Ingram

Spending less and saving more are lifelong living skills that need time to develop. Unless and otherwise, you have written financial goals , you will lose your focus and go after consumerism and materialism.

    • Spending influencers

1. Emotions
2. Traditional thought
3. Society
4. Habits
5. Commitments

    • Strategies to overcome these influencers and spend smarter:

1. Control your emotions
2. Self-talk
3. You are unique
4. Learn and unlearn habits
5. Unwanted Commitments

Spending money has got so many influencing factors. But all these influencers can be classified into five broad spending influencers.

1) Emotions

Your emotions play an important role in your spending pattern. Positive feelings like happiness, fun, joy can influence you to spend more on entertainment and gifts. Negative feelings like envy, jealousy, shame, stress, depression, frustration can influence you to spend more on smoking, drinking, buying things you actually don’t need, relaxation and healthcare.

2) Traditional Thought

This is because of your belief system and your thought process. I need to buy a silk saree every year for my wedding anniversary. I have to burst crackers for Diwali. These are all classic examples of how your traditional thoughts will influence your spending pattern.

3) Society

The society in which you live will have more influence on your spending. You have to buy a car as all your colleagues are coming to the office in their own car. On the occasion of your kid’s birthday, you need to arrange gifts for all the classmates of your kid. You should be watching this movie, on the first-day first show. This influencer is caused by friends, colleagues, neighbours, relatives, and club members. Even at times, advertisements and promotional offers like a discount sale can make you spend more.

4) Habits

Habits formed when you are growing up can make you spend impulsively. Generally, this will be your sensual pleasures. Spending on movies, music, eating out, smoking, drinking are the best examples for this influencer.

5) Commitments

This includes paying off your debts and loans, commitments towards family-like school fees, buying groceries and other provisions, paying rent, paying for medical insurance. You are committed to paying these expenses earlier.

By tracking and analyzing each and every expense, you will be able to identify the influencers which made you spend. Here are some strategies to overcome these influencers and spend smarter:

Control Your Emotions

Instead of spending money, you can control your emotions by doing something else like yoga or meditation, watching comedy shows on TV, going to the temple or beach. You need to solve the root of the emotion. Do introspection and keep a balanced mind always. A balanced mind is key for spending smarter.

Self Talk

You need to consciously change your thought patterns to come out of traditional thinking. “I don’t really need a saree for every wedding anniversary”. “I am not a kid; so I need not bust crackers on Diwali”. These kinds of auto suggestions will change your thought process and you will be able to really prioritize things on which you spend.

You are unique

You were born original. Please don’t die a copy. There is no need to feel bad if you don’t get to spend or buy things like your friends or people around you. You are unique and special in your own way. You need to discuss with your family and friends about “How to live happily by achieving compromised spending patterns?”

Learn and unlearn Habits

The unwanted habits which make you spend more can be unlearned. Good habits which make you spend smarter can be learned. Habits can be learned and unlearned. But you need to know it is not a quick fix. It involves a process and a commitment.

A habit is an intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge is ‘what to do and why’. That is we need to spend less to save more and become richer. Skill is ‘How to do’. That is ‘how we spend less and what are all the strategies to be applied for spending less’. Desire is the motivation, the want to do. What are we trying to achieve by spending less? How that is more important to us than spending more. In order to make something a habit in our lives, we need to have all three.

Now, can you guess what habits you need to learn?

Here they are:

  • Saveregularly
  • Read finance blogs/books
  • Track your spending
  • Find ways to cut your spending
  • Spend extra or unexpected income wisely
  • Have a savings goal

Now, what are the habitsyou need to unlearn?

    • overspending
    • Emotional spending
    • Buying on credit

These are the habits you need to unlearn.

Unwanted Commitments

You can’t avoid certain commitments like groceries, schools fees. But definitely you can discontinue unwanted commitments like the club membership in which you are not actively participating and not getting any actual use out of it; the chits impulsively you have enrolled with a jewellery shop.

Money not spent is saved. The above strategies will only work if you truly have a desire for future financial success. You need to be disciplined and persistent in the course of implementing these strategies. The more you practice smart spending, the wealthier you become.

Not just that, it gives you:

  • Financial freedom,
  • Independenceand
  • Security

You will alsobe able to get out of debt and have money incase of any emergency.

The wealthier group of people started by saving a small sum.

The question for you today is, Have you also started saving?

Don’t worry if it’s a small sum but start today, start immediately, start now,

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I've been availing their services for the past year. They are highly knowledgeable in the field and are very patient with all doubts and queries. Personalized financial planning is provided keeping your short term, medium term and long term goals in mind. They do not pressurize you to purchase schemes of their choice. They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
