Covid-19 sure has made time flies a lot faster than we could imagine. And because of it, people have struggled financially and mentally over the last two years. The worst case is that some people are still undecided about how to deal with them.<\/p><p>So for this article, I want to emphasize how you could manage your money better. Most of us have at least a basic idea of what we should be doing with our money like creating a budget, spending less than we earn, or saving for retirement.<\/p><p>But, there&#8217;s a difference between knowing and doing, even if we all know what we should be doing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesundaily.my\/business\/malaysians-not-on-the-road-to-financial-recovery-YH8458212\"><em>According to the RinggitPlus Malaysian Financial Literacy Survey<\/em><\/a>, 21% of Malaysians say they&#8217;ve been living paycheck to paycheck since the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p><p>Those figures are alarming, but the bottom line is that most of us could be spending our money more wisely.<\/p><p>Starting to make changes with our money can be difficult, and maintaining those changes can be even more difficult. We don&#8217;t always need a large sum of money to help us get our act together; sometimes all we need is a little nudge in the right direction.<\/p><p>Here are money tips that will challenge you to be better with money:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73173053 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"73173053\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p class=\"text-black\" style=\"font-size: 36px;font-weight: 700;line-height: 1.2em !important;margin-bottom: 1px;margin-top: 5px\">Make the big things a priority<\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c73c1a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c73c1a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Housing, transportation, and food are likely to be your largest expenses.

It&#8217;s incredibly simple to sit down at the end of the month or year and figure out how much you spent and where you spent it.<\/p><p>A few months ago, I set a goal for myself for a month, I would track my spending by hand, in real-time. I carried a small notebook with me at all times, and I&#8217;d make notes of any purchases I made. Yes, it was tedious, but it was extremely eye-opening. I knew I ate my budget every month, but by keeping track of everything by hand and recognising when I was spending money, I was able to cut back on some of those pointless spendings.<\/p><p>Try it out for a week or two to see if you notice any spending habits you&#8217;d like to change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-187160b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"187160b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p class=\"text-black\" style=\"font-size: 36px;font-weight: 700;line-height: 1.2em !important;margin-bottom: 1px;margin-top: 5px\">Make it a month where you don't spend any money<\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6646e86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6646e86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A no-spend month is an excellent way to reset spending habits and quickly save money.

Then make a list of your exceptions\u2014the things you will spend money on during the month. Rent, fixed expenses like your phone bill and internet, and very basic groceries are usually included.

If I&#8217;m thinking about buying something that isn&#8217;t a necessity, I have to wait 72 hours before I let myself press the buy button. I&#8217;ll put items in my cart, and if I still want them after 72 hours and can afford them, I&#8217;ll buy them. It&#8217;s straightforward, but not simple. The implementation of this rule has resulted in a significant change in what I buy and how much I bring into my home.<\/p><p>Pick one item from this list to challenge yourself with if you want to improve your money management skills.

Covid-19 sure has made time flies a lot faster than we could imagine. And because of it, people have struggled financially and mentally over the last two years. The worst case is that some people are still undecided about how to deal with them.<br \/><br \/>So for this article, I want to emphasize how you could manage your money better. Most of us have at least a basic idea of what we should be doing with our money like creating a budget, spending less than we earn, or saving for retirement.<br \/><br \/>But, there&#8217;s a difference between knowing and doing, even if we all know what we should be doing. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesundaily.my\/business\/malaysians-not-on-the-road-to-financial-recovery-YH8458212\"><em>RinggitPlus Malaysian Financial Literacy Survey<\/em><\/a>, 21% of Malaysians say they&#8217;ve been living paycheck to paycheck since the COVID-19 outbreak.<br \/><br \/>Those figures are alarming, but the bottom line is that most of us could be spending our money more wisely.<br \/><br \/>Starting to make changes with our money can be difficult, and maintaining those changes can be even more difficult. We don&#8217;t always need a large sum of money to help us get our act together; sometimes all we need is a little nudge in the right direction<br \/><br \/>Here are money tips that will challenge you to be better with money:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b114b41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4b114b41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p class=\"text-black\" style=\"font-size: 28px;font-weight: 700;line-height: 1.2em !important;margin-bottom: 1px;margin-top: 5px\">Make the big things a priority<\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2312c8fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2312c8fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Housing, transportation, and food are likely to be your largest expenses.

It&#8217;s incredibly simple to sit down at the end of the month or year and figure out how much you spent and where you spent it.<\/p><p>A few months ago, I set a goal for myself for a month, I would track my spending by hand, in real-time. I carried a small notebook with me at all times, and I&#8217;d make notes of any purchases I made. Yes, it was tedious, but it was extremely eye-opening. I knew I ate my budget every month, but by keeping track of everything by hand and recognising when I was spending money, I was able to cut back on some of those pointless spendings.<\/p><p>Try it out for a week or two to see if you notice any spending habits you&#8217;d like to change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24205bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24205bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p class=\"text-black\" style=\"font-size: 28px;font-weight: 700;line-height: 1.2em !important;margin-bottom: 1px;margin-top: 5px\">Make it a month where you don't spend any money<\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-665f01b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"665f01b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A no-spend month is an excellent way to reset spending habits and quickly save money. The idea is that you don&#8217;t spend any money for a month, except for a few necessities like rent, transportation, and basic groceries.<br \/><br \/>If you really want to go big, keep track of every purchase you make during that month\u2014you&#8217;ll be much more aware of your spending habits.<br \/><br \/>Before you start your no-spend month, make sure you don&#8217;t have any obligations that will prevent you from doing so. Then make a list of your exceptions\u2014the things you will spend money on during the month. Rent, fixed expenses like your phone bill and internet, and very basic groceries are usually included. Finally, make a list of free activities you can do so you don&#8217;t have to feel like a loner for the next 30 days.<br \/><br \/>If this sounds simple, believe me when I say it isn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s difficult to maintain a social life while avoiding after-work hangouts in favour of free activity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9db5e4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9db5e4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p class=\"text-black\" style=\"font-size: 28px;font-weight: 700;line-height: 1.2em !important;margin-bottom: 1px;margin-top: 5px\">Follow the 72-hours rule<\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b826480 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b826480\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Let&#8217;s pretend for a moment that you&#8217;re one of the millions of people who has a frustrating relationship with spending. I used to have an unstoppable shopping problem, especially with one retailer: Shopee. They make it far too easy to spend money.<br \/><br \/>I was able to break this by using the 72-hour rule. If I&#8217;m thinking about buying something that isn&#8217;t a necessity, I have to wait 72 hours before I let myself press the buy button. I&#8217;ll put items in my cart, and if I still want them after 72 hours and can afford them, I&#8217;ll buy them. It&#8217;s straightforward, but not simple. The implementation of this rule has resulted in a significant change in what I buy and how much I bring into my home.<br \/><br \/>Pick one item from this list to challenge yourself with if you want to improve your money management skills. When it comes to money, small adjustments can have a big impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-104f729e elementor-widget
