Stap-voor-Stap Gids

1

Track Your Spending

For one month, record every purchase. Use an app or spreadsheet. You can't improve what you don't measure.

πŸ’‘Many people are shocked by how much goes to subscriptions and eating out.
2

Pay Yourself First

Set up automatic transfers to savings on payday - before you spend anything. Start with 10-20% of income.

πŸ’‘Treat savings like a bill you can't skip.
3

Cut the Big Three

Housing, transportation, and food are usually 60%+ of spending. Downsize housing, consider used cars, meal prep.

πŸ’‘One big change beats dozens of small frugal hacks.
4

Use the 24-Hour Rule

Wait 24 hours before any non-essential purchase over $50. Most impulse urges fade.

πŸ’‘Keep a wish list instead of buying immediately. Review it monthly.
