<\/a>Why do you work so hard on lowering your expenses only to blow the money you actually saved? It seems like that\u2019s pretty normal, right?<\/p>\n Frugality is popular and while that\u2019s great, is being frugal actually increasing the size of your savings account?<\/p>\n If not you can put more money in savings with one of these five strategies.<\/p>\n You pay your bills every month. You write checks for rent, get online and pay things like phone bills and utilities. If you\u2019re responsible enough to pay your bills why aren\u2019t you saving any money? The answer is you\u2019re not planning for it!<\/p>\n Sit down and create a bill calendar. List out all of your bills. At the very top list your monthly savings goals.<\/a> Now at the beginning of each month make your savings the first \u201cbill\u201d that you pay.<\/p>\n To keep up with this idea you can print out a monthly bill calendar and put a check in each month as you make your payments.<\/p>\n This is my absolute favorite way to save money and it\u2019s extremely effective.<\/p>\n What I do to make this work is first start by breaking down my savings goals. Let\u2019s say for instance I have two goals \u2013 one to increase my emergency fund and the second to save for a large purchase. I\u2019ll then create specific saving accounts through Capital One 360 for these goals.<\/p>\nCreate a Bill Calendar and Mark Savings as a Bill<\/h2>\n
