How can you strike a balance between saving and enjoying life?

[freelancermaria]

To find the right balance between saving some money and enjoying your life, you must have a careful financial technique. To be able to accomplish it, factor in determining clear financial objectives and setting up automatic transfers to your savings account, to name a few. It's also a great idea to keep different accounts for savings and leisure, and planning your vacation ahead of time can come in handy. By completing these steps, you will be able to enjoy life while keeping your money in order.

Most people are being confused and ending up doing one thing of the two . However coming with a balance is where the problem comes in for that matter.

You don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy life. You save like 5% of your income and keep 1% to give yourself a treat.

it is to put things in perspective Have a budget to know what you have and how you should spend it and stick to your budget

To strike a balance you simply say from income, 10% os spending money, 40% is savings and the rest helps you keep afloat. You also have to practise descipline by making sure that you only tap into your savings in life or death situations.

@freelancermaria, a very inspiring thread for its readers, although everyone has a different strategy or way to achieve a balance between saving and enjoying life, especially in the allocation of income for daily needs, emergency funds and entertainment funds or enjoying life. In addition to a mature plan or strategy, discipline and consistency are also needed in saving.

We don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy life; there are plenty of fun activities that won’t break the bank. It's essential to know your priorities: save first and then pay your bills.

The truth of the matter is if you really want to save, there are certain sacrifices you will have to make, yes you can still go out and buy things for yourself, but it won't be up to the level others do it. There are times you will decide not to buy anything, there are times you will decide to buy very little. Setting up a budget can also help you strike a balance.

It is good to budget some money for fun though savings should be a priority. I put a portion of my monthly earnings into a fixed deposit account. I also budget some money for travel, dining out and going to concerts.
