5 Ways to Get Ready for World Savings Day

Time sure does fly by fast. Just like that, we’re already down to the last three months of 2021! October means World Savings Day is right around the corner. On the 31st day of this month, we are all reminded of the importance of setting aside money for the future.

 

Here are a few things you can do to get ready for World Savings Day:  

1. Share your saving hack with others

Saving is for everyone! Help others realize the joy and wonder of saving money by sharing your favorite money saving tips or hacks to your friends and family. If you have any kids, this is also the perfect opportunity for you to teach them the value of saving money. Introduce piggy bank saving or open a savings account for them and let them be part of the process. This way, they will not only learn how to save, but also learn how to be more responsible with handling money.

2. Avoid unnecessary spendin

Did you know that Worlds Savings Day is also known as Thrift Day? You read that right, it’s also a day that reminds us to be extra careful with how we spend our money. Why not make it a point this month to avoid any unnecessary spending? It can be as simple as making a grocery list and sticking to it or staying away from your favorite online shopping app. You’ll never know how much these small deeds can help you save.

3. Come up with your savings goals

With World Savings Day just right around the corner, now is a good time to sit down and think about your goals. Write down a list of financial goals that you want to accomplish in the next five years as short term goals. You may also take time to reflect and think of your long-term financial goals such as retirement or home ownership. With clear goals set in mind, it would be easier to identify which part of your lifestyle you can adjust in order for you to achieve your targets.

4. Start saving today 

You might have read this about a dozen times already, but there’s really no better time to start your savings journey than today. Start small so as not to feel overwhelmed. It can be as simple as saving PHP 50.00 a day or setting aside 10% of your monthly income to go to your savings. Do whatever works for your lifestyle but make sure to be diligent and you will persevere. Before you know it, you’ll be ticking off boxes on your list of goals. 

5. Open a high-interest savings account

There’s no better feeling than knowing that you’re getting the best value for the money you save.

Choose a savings account that is accessible and has fewer fees to maximize your savings.
