You\u2019ll often hear advice on money habits that you should learn by a certain age. Whether it\u2019s money habits you should learn before you\u2019re 30 or 40 years old, the truth of the matter is that it\u2019s never too late to instill good financial habits. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re in your 20s or in your 50s, having good money habits is important no matter what age you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent report by Pew found that only <\/span>50% of Americans feel financially secure and 57% stated they aren\u2019t prepared for a financial emergency.<\/span> If you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed by your finances, don\u2019t be. Learning how to manage your finances isn\u2019t something people are naturally good at. All it takes is the dedication and a willingness to change your financial habits. <\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that it\u2019s never too late to instill good financial habits. This doesn\u2019t involve constantly living frugally and cutting out all entertainment costs, it\u2019s about using basic financial principles that we all tend to forget about sometimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson #1: Spending Without a Plan<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t already created a monthly budget, do it now. Your budget should consist of all your monthly obligations including your rent\/mortgage, auto payments, insurance, utilities, and credit card payments. Next, take a look at your past transactions and calculate approximately how much you\u2019re spending on groceries and entertainment. <\/span><\/p>\n

At this point, you should be able to see exactly where your money is going every month. Too many people are spending more than they earn and that will lead them to cover expenses on their credit cards to cover the difference. Going down this route is a death trap. It\u2019ll become increasingly difficult to get out of debt and save for the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether your plan is to save money or get out of debt, if you have a clear strategy and you stick with it, it\u2019ll become a lot easier to achieve your goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson #2: Be Resourceful and Save Money<\/b><\/h3>\n

As I mentioned, having good financial habits doesn\u2019t necessarily mean living frugally every day. Whether we\u2019re looking to go on a vacation or need to repair a car, doing thorough research can help save you big bucks. For example, if you\u2019re looking to take a trip out of town, knowing where to look for the best hotel deals and knowing how to reduce your car rental expenses can add up. Many people might think to themselves that it\u2019s okay to splurge a little on vacation, but you can still have a memorable trip without breaking the bank. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another example is car repairs. Car repairs can be super frustrating at times. It\u2019s hard to know whether the mechanic you\u2019re going to is taking advantage of you or genuinely giving you a great deal. This is where doing your research can really pay off. Most mechanics will recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles but your car might actually need it every 5,000-8,000 miles. It\u2019s little things like these that can add up to help you save more money. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson #3: Stop Your Impulse Decisions<\/b><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all been guilty about this at one point or another. Spontaneous purchases are rarely justified and it\u2019s a perfect example of needs vs wants. A study by CreditCards.com shows that <\/span>75% of Americans make impulse purchases<\/span><\/a>, but what\u2019s interesting is that 16% said they spent over $500 on the purchase. If you have an urge to make an impulse purchase decision, here\u2019s a tip. Wait 1-2 days before making the purchase. Don\u2019t buy it on the spot. Go home and figure out if you can find the item priced lower online. Remember, lesson #2? Be resourceful. If you decide that you really need this item or if the new lower price you find is justifiable, then you can consider it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same CreditCards.com study also showed that over 50% of the people regretted the purchase afterward. Don\u2019t fall into this bucket. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lesson #4: Have Clear Goals Every Day, Week, Month, and Year<\/b><\/h3>\n

This ties back into having a spending plan and budget. If you really want to save more or pay down debt, you need to be in the right mindset. Your typical workday expenses might include a morning coffee, lunch, or a bus fare. Don\u2019t be reckless and steer away from your required daily expenses. <\/span><\/p>\n

You should also think about your weekly goals. Since you already know how much your daily expenses are, you should know what your 5-day workday expenses look like too. Figure out ways you can go under your weekly budget. Perhaps you can plan your meals ahead of time to avoid eating out or figure out a better way to commute to work. Having clear goals every week is the first step to making sure you\u2019re staying under your monthly budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly but not least, as the calendar year comes to an end, this is your time to finish strong. If you had some unexpected expenses and not seeing much progress on your financial goals, it\u2019s okay to re-evaluate your goals. Financial circumstances might change, and your plan should too.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Never Too Late<\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re in debt. Maybe you\u2019re not saving fast enough. One thing for sure is that changing your habits is never too late. People aren\u2019t born with good financial habits. Instead, they understand the basic principle of spending less than they earn and making sure they\u2019re following a set plan. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
