If you feel overwhelmed about how to save money, you’re not alone. Deposit a portion of your income in a savings or retirement account. Establish a realistic timeframe for your savings goals. Create a budget and keep track of all your expenses. Spend money only on the essentials, and look for cheaper options where available, from housing to food, transportation, or energy usage. Save for an emergency fund. Spend money on luxuries only occasionally.

A) Savings Money Responsibly

Pay First Yourself- 

Pay Yourself First is a personal finance strategy of increased and consistent savings and investment while also promoting frugality. The goal is to make sure that enough income is first  saved or invested before monthly expenses or discretionary purchases are made.

Avoid accumulating new debt- 

  1. Don't buy more house than you can afford.

  2. Live below your means.
  3. Keep your credit cards paid off. 

  4. Use scholarships to minimize student debts.

  5. Build an emergency savings fund. 

  6. Invest in good insurance.

  7. Increase your income.

Set reasonable savings goals-   

 It's a lot easier to save if you know you have something to save for. Set yourself savings goals that are within your reach to motivate yourself to make the tough financial decisions needed to save responsibly. In these cases, it's important to monitor your progress on a regular basis. Only by stepping back and taking a look at the big picture can you get a sense for how far you've come and how far you have left to go.
Big goals, like retirement, take a very long time to achieve. In the time needed to reach these goals, financial markets are likely to be different than they are today. You may need to spend some time researching the predicted future state of the market before setting your goal.  

Keep a budget-

 It's easy to commit to ambitious savings goals, but if you don't have any way to keep track of your expenses, you'll find that it's difficult to achieve them. To keep your financial progress on-track, try budgeting out your income at the beginning of each month. Assigning a set portion of your income to all of your major expenses ahead of time can help ensure that you don't waste money, especially if you actually divide each paycheck according to your budget as soon as you get it.

B) Cutting Expenses 

If your expenses are so high that you can’t save as much as you’d like, it might be time to cut back. Identify non essentials that you can spend less on, such as entertainment and dining out. Look for ways to save on your fixed monthly expenses like television and your cell phone, too.
