Getting started saving money is always difficult! Creating a budget is just one way to help you save money.

These three tips can help you save money monthly:

Tip 1: Cancel Automatic Subscriptions

Any subscription you don’t use on the regular, cancel it! If you’re only using Amazon Prime once every 3 months, it’s probably a good idea to cancel your subscription. Think about sharing subscriptions, like Netflix or Hulu, with friends or family.

Tip 2: Get Rid of Cable

Cable prices are extremely high right now. People usually spend over $1,200 a year on cable! Start using network apps or streaming services, but make sure you’re only subscribing to streaming networks you are actually going to use.

Tip 3: 30 Day Rule

If you’re about to make a big purchase, think about it first. Think a lot about how much you want and need this thing. How much does it cost? If after 30 days, you still want this item, go ahead and buy it!
