PASSAGE

Saving money is 1 when you know where your money goes. Many people are surprised the first time they write it all down. Small daily costs add up fast. A budget is a simple plan for your money. You list what you earn, then list what you spend. Rent, food, and transport come first, because you cannot 2 them. What is left can go to savings or to things you enjoy. Experts often suggest saving a fixed amount each month. Even a small amount works, as long as it is 3. Some banks can move the money for you on payday. That way you never see it in your main account, so you do not spend it. An emergency fund is the first goal for most people. This is money set aside for a broken phone, a medical bill, or a 4 trip home. Without it, people often borrow at high interest. Paying that interest costs far more than the original problem. Saving does not mean giving up everything you like. It means 5 what matters to you. A person who cooks at home all week can still enjoy a meal out on Friday.
