Stap-voor-Stap Gids
Track Your Spending
For one month, record every purchase. Use an app or spreadsheet. You can't improve what you don't measure.
Pay Yourself First
Set up automatic transfers to savings on payday - before you spend anything. Start with 10-20% of income.
Cut the Big Three
Housing, transportation, and food are usually 60%+ of spending. Downsize housing, consider used cars, meal prep.
Use the 24-Hour Rule
Wait 24 hours before any non-essential purchase over $50. Most impulse urges fade.
