Let’s have a closer look at how you can get your money matters on track:

Start with the numbers. Write down what you earn and what you spend each month. Keep it to the pure basics by including your living costs like rent and food, and then make a note of anything else that you spend every month. 

Once you see it clearly, you'll be able to spot patterns in areas to cut back on. A few pounds here and there add up; small changes can make a big difference over time.

A good budget isn't one that is strict or unrealistic; it should match your real habits as well as your priorities. This allows you to plan and add in your savings and spending money. Give every pound a job that makes your life happen, as you never know when you're going to need to spend money. If you try to follow a plan that is too rigid, then you're going to break it easily. A flexible budget is easier to stick with and more likely to last.

There are more financial scams around now than there have ever been. Some look like they're completely normal advertisements, and others use really realistic fake websites or social media with messages that seem really personal. If something feels too good to be true, it probably is.

If you have unfortunately lost some money or you feel as though something that you have dealt with feels wrong, it's important that you speak to somebody who is able to help you. A fraud solicitor can help you to look at what has happened and what you may be faced with. They could also help you to deal with coming out the other end and also protect you from any future problems.

You don't need to save hundreds every single month; just start off small. Even £10 or £20 set aside regularly helps to build up. Use separate accounts if that helps you to stay organised. Set up automatic transfers, this way, you don’t have to think about it every month. The goal is to make savings part of your routine, not something that worries you or you have to add to your to-do list.

It is going to take a little bit of time to get your money in order, especially if you haven't got any control over it at the moment. It's a good idea to set up some good habits, as it will only help you in the long run. It doesn't matter how much money you make, as long as you have a little bit of control over what you do have coming in; you can put your mind at rest. 

It's important for you to make sure that you are vigilant and organized with it, and you always look for help if you do need it. At any time, you don't have to be a money pro; all you need to do is be aware of what you do have and where it's going. Do you have any other helpful tips? It'd be great to hear them.
