Make another list of your monthly usage like shopping, food, date, parties, grocery, etc. The purpose of these lists is to get a clear understanding of all of your expenses and how you can handle the mortgage. Remember, if you want to buy your own house, cut all of your extra expenses.
Can you overcome your expenses? Following are some quick ways that will help you to overcome your expenses (that will not impact on your daily life):
⦁ Install Led light bulbs-that help you to save energy.
⦁ Unplug the devices that you do not want to use anymore.
⦁ Do not buy unnecessary products that you did not need at all.
⦁ Minimize the entertainment expenses–if you like to go outside every night, try to go twice in a week, find something interesting to do within your house. What about watching a movie on your laptop along with your loved ones? Instead of going outsides and spending too much money?
