Saving more money seems impossible for many of us.

We already have so many expenses, after all, where is that money going to come from?

Afford Anything explains:

It’s during these moments that you realize: “I really can afford anything.

Not everything, but anything.

But what if you could avoid these financially stressful situations altogether?

I need every dollar.”

That’s a mathematical impossibility.

To make it easier, they recommend saving just an extra one percent of your earnings each month.

If your after-tax income is $2,000 a month, you’ll save $20 in the first month.

Find a way to earn that extra $20.

Then, next month, increase your savings to two percent, and so on.

This is similar in nature to the 52-week challenge.

But it’s a little more personalized, as it works with your own income.
