Share your best budgeting or money-saving tip - Fish - Oct 12, 2026
Mine is waiting 48 hours before any non-essential purchase. Half the time I forget I wanted it hence dont waste money on a random product. What's your tip?

Think about if I really need it, is it something I will use regularly or just once.

Budget and anime collecting don't mix.

Yes!! Or to write it down. Then if you still want it after a certain amount of time, that means you'll probably use it. As opposed to an impulse purchase.

I need to practice this too. I always end up in FOMO and impulse purchases. Most of them are sitting without use. I hope this thread may help me out.

I'm addicted to saving so kinda natural for me but i struggled with it in my early 20s
what i do is after all my monthly expenses just throw whatever is left into savings and either leave it or start DCAing into other investments

Do you invest everything or let them sit in a savings account and just invest some?

I let it sit in a high yield savings and invest a certain amount from it weekly
