If you’ve ever felt like your mind and your wallet are in constant battle when your wallet tells you to save! You are in the right place, at Zero Gravity, we have unraveled the secrets to trick your mind into saving more than you thought possible. Ready to become a professional saver? Read on and find out how!
01 The power of change
We know that having loose change in your pocket can be a nuisance, but here’s the trick! Whenever you have loose change, put it into a magic jar and you’ll see a little treasure start to accumulate without you even realizing it
02 The “Double Wish” Rule.
Are you tempted to buy something impulsively? Use the “Double Wish” rule. Wait two weeks before you buy it. If you still want it just as badly, go ahead! But if the desire diminishes, you’ve avoided unnecessary spending.
03 Challenge of the week
Set yourself a small savings challenge each week. It could be cutting out takeaway coffee, bringing your lunch from home or buying a generic brand instead of your usual brand. At the end of the month, see how much you’ve saved without sacrificing too much.
04 The “hidden account effect”.
Open an online savings account with a fun nickname, such as “Adventure Fund”. Automatically transfer a small amount each week. Watching this account grow with an exciting name will motivate you to save more.
05 Turn wishes into goals
If you want something expensive, turn it into a savings goal. Create a visual image of your goal and post it in a visible place. Every time you have an impulse to spend, look at your goal and ask yourself if it’s worth it.
06 The one for one technique
For every new item you buy, get rid of one you already have. Not only will this help you get rid of clutter, but it will also make you think twice before spending on unnecessary items.
07 Celebrate small successes
Celebrate every time you reach a savings goal! Treat yourself to a small treat that won’t break the bank. These rewards will keep you motivated and remind you that saving can be fun.
