After you have a journal, you would start to record your daily activities on the journal. You would record in the appropriate date for each entry. This will help you organize your goals when you look back through your record. You should record a weekly goal to save and a monthly goal to save for each month. At the end of the month, you should assess to see if you made your saving goals. You should make a list of things that you need to spend each week and then cut out things that you don't really need. This is call budgeting. You should make a budget list for each week and then each month. In your budget you would write down what you will spend on and how much you will put in your saving account. You would also make a list of things that you will cut out each week or each month to help save more money.
