---

When it comes to personal finances, it's a pity that such thing so central to our lives is not a major requirement in most basic education. No wonder, many young people struggle with their financial plan as soon as they enter the 'real' world.

Thus, we'll try to provide a step-by-step approach to what to do with your financial planning, starting with the easiest one.

1. Self Discipline

Sadly, many parents neglect to teach this basic skill to many children, and the bad habit stays on in their adult life. If you are one of the unlucky children, don't' worry, it's never too late to start learning.

To control your spending, especially bigger ones, you can try the 48-hour method. Simply wait for 48 hours to think whether buying the item will still be a necessity. It's always better to save up money first rather than spending on a credit card. Credit card's interest, when not managed well, can lead to a very dangerous spiral of debt.

Paying your credit card bill on a minimum can take years, are you really willing to pay for the interest for the years to come?

2. Track Your Spending

It is very important to make sure your expenses are not exceeding your income. Yet, many people consciously or unconsciously make that mistake all the time. The best way to control your expenses is to make a budgeting plan, which can be started by tracking your spending.

Thus, you can see how much your morning latte adds up over the course of a month, and you can start to reduce unnecessary expenses.

3. Building Emergency Fund

Even when you are struggling with debt, it's very important to put some amount of your earnings to your emergency fund.

In general, you should have at least three, ideally six months of your expenses saved as emergency fund.

4. Start Investing on Your Retirement

If you are employed, don't delay your retirement saving. If you are self-employed, you can also build your retirement saving in many investment forms.

By starting early, you can enjoy the compounding interests later.

5. Building Your Wealth

Investing and saving are the two essential ways to build wealth, If you are unsure, you can hire a financial planner to help with the process.

There are many affordable financial planners available, and you shouldn't wait until you have a big earning to have one. A financial planner can help you with your investment options, as well as protecting your money from unnecessary taxes.

You won't need a fancy degree in finance to be able to manage your own finances well. Discipline and commitment are the keys to managing your finance, and building the way for your future wealth.

When you find it's hard to commit, try to reward yourself when you reach a certain financial goal, such as a saving goal. Having a clear goal can also help change your mindset regarding the importance of having a clear financial management.
