We all know how demanding January can be for most of us, when all the Christmas lunch spending and New Years eve celebrations have come and gone. It\u2019s so easy to get \u201clost up in the sauce\u201d but you don\u2019t have to, especially if you follow these savvy tips on how to keep the money in your pocket.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stop Keeping up with the Khumalos<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the digital era we live in, it\u2019s hard not to be on your phone and come across people living it up in Ibiza, sipping on Mojitos by the beach as they watch the sunset or shaking things up at Shimmy Beach. You know what your pocket allows and it only comes back to bite you if you go beyond your means trying to keep up with what\u2019s hot.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be Grateful<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The fastest way to attract the life you want is to be grateful for the one you have right now. If you can\u2019t go out as regularly as you would like, host your friends for game night and have each one bring over a snack. That way you still get to socialize, on a budget. Do the most with what you have, where you are.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Set Boundaries<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When it seems like everyone is inviting you everywhere or the stores have finally all stocked up those items that you\u2019ve been dying to purchase, pause. You can\u2019t be everywhere all the time, you can\u2019t please everyone and you definitely can\u2019t give into each \u201cmust have\u201d item.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Have a savings account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Open up a savings account or more than one for different kinds of needs; an emergency one, an entertainment one, a holiday one, etc. If you set them apart, you know which account to tap into, for what needs.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Get your priorities straight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you know what\u2019s important, you avoid the useless stuff. Do you really have to go on holiday if your home isn\u2019t fully furnished yet? Is the new designer bag more important if you have to eat noodles for the rest of the month? Probably not, so learn how to prioritise your spending and avoid any impulsive spending.<\/p>\n
