Hi everyone. Since I'm about to start working, I looked up some tips on saving money, and I thought that I'd share the best ones I've found with you guys. If you have some tips that I can find useful, comment below! :)

"Whenever you feel the urge to buy a non necessity, give yourself a couple of days before you buy it. Often times, the impulse will have passed and you'll be glad to still have the money."

"If you are a student - Learn to cook.
If you are working - Bring lunch to work every day. You'll save a lot of money.
When you go shopping, especially grocery shopping: make a list and stick to it. And never grocery shop on an empty stomach. Or after a busy day or week. You'll be more inclined to buy bad food and make poorer purchasing decisions.
People waste a ton of money ordering food and prepared stuff. Just look up some tutorials and save some real money."

"Pay your credit card off completely every month. Don't let it accumulate interest. Don't purchase things you don't have the cash for. Too many people get over their heads in credit card debt and its hard to dig yourself out at 18% interest."
DarkangelUK of Reddit says:
"I was quite bad for really wanting things and buying them as soon as I got paid, of course as the end of the month came near I had barely any money left and struggled. To fix this, instead of buying things at the start of the month I decided to buy things at the end of the month if I still had enough of that months wages left over to do so. If I didn't then I did the same again and wait till the end of the next month, and of course last months leftovers plus the new months wage by the end of the 2nd month I had enough, and sometimes saved money as the item was now cheaper.
Basically patience and timing means I can still have the things I want and not be struggling near the end of the month, I'm in a much better place financially now."

"A trick that always works for me is to think about how many hours wages I am spending on something. As someone who previously had a huge spending problem, this has helped me [realize] that I've worked hard for my money, and I'd rather be working my ass off for a stress free life financially than living pay day to pay day buying meaningless sh*t."
HearingSword of Reddit says:
"I once bought a 500 pack of teabags. That was 3 years ago. I ran out this week."
Here is a video from Practical Psychology, a channel that I have been following for a while:
