How to make saving money a habit
Whether you’re going through a difficult financial time, or simply want to optimise the funds you have available to you, it is important to have a repertoire of savings strategies in your arsenal for when you need it.

It’s true that this practice takes more time, but several sources, like Forbes, TheSimpleDollar and Food24, cite it as a money-saving trick.
