Since childhood we have been taught the importance of saving, where your parents instill in you the value of money, how to earn it and how to save it. Through this action we can solve financial difficulties or make our most longed-for dreams come true, without the need to take off a loan, or mortgage something so precious to us.
We have to have a habit of saving, because if we do not maintain this habit all your money will go as it arrives, in the end you will always have that you cannot meet your goals and objectives because you cannot save, because in your thoughts there is always that what You win is not enough for you to cover your expenses.

In this opportunity I will describe some of the most common mistakes that we make when saving, as well as many of us make some of these mistakes.

## Postpone Saving

This is one of the most common mistakes we have when we start saving, our words or thoughts of excuses are starting next week or month because this month I am short, or I already have full expenses, I cannot save at this time. But my thoughts of wanting to save to get something is still latent but the mentality of spending and spending is stronger.

The best time to achieve any goal you set for yourself in life, be it saving, exercising, or even starting a project is **NOW ...**

## Have a goal.

If we do not have a goal for saving, at any time we have the money in hand we will spend it, if we do not set a goal, we will never have what we want, nor will we have success or financial freedom.
When we have well-defined objectives, we can plan actions necessary to achieve them, you will have a motivation that will help you to reach your dreams more quickly and without much difficulty.

## Take money from savings and then pay it off.

This has been one of my constant mistakes, I am very bad at saving, since I started here on the platform I have set goals that I had not done before, I always thought about spending and spending, not keeping savings but now I have a girl that I have to take care of having a better future for her.

Taking the money to pay for something unforeseen is something very common that can happen, this is a lie that then what you took you will contribute later, it is your savings is something that you should not do, if you take this action your goal will be further away.

## Don't forget to save every month.

We must plan a percentage to save, on what date stipulated, be it weekly, biweekly or monthly, we cannot break our own rules because otherwise we could not save anything.



## Have an emergency fund

This is one of the mistakes we make, we must maintain a fund for any anticipated emergency, be it health or any unforeseen payment, so that we do not touch our savings when it does not happen.

## Not having a budget.

Not having a budget even at home is very important because we will keep track of our income and our expenses, what expenses we can reduce so that we can save the percentage that we do not set as a goal.

## Don't be impatient

If we are going to start saving, we must motivate ourselves and have patience that will be our best tool to achieve what we want, because sometimes we despair, we see our goals too far and we abandon, that is why the importance of patience to fulfill our dreams.
