At first glance, it seems that handling money is quite simple and anyone can handle it.
After all, what could be easier to control your expenses? But despite this, most people do not live the way they really want.
They take out loans to meet some needs and are constantly depressed because they have almost no funds.
The reason may be that you simply don't handle finances correctly. Let's look at some signs that you know how to handle money.
Ability to count
Even the simplest math calculations you can do in your head can make your life a lot easier.
When you are in the store, you can calculate in advance the approximate amount that you will spend at the checkout. If it exceeds the required amount, you can take a cheaper product or remove something that is not too important.
Regular payment of bills
It is a very good quality if you never miss payments of utilities and other monthly payments.
This will save you from unwanted overpayments in the form of penalties, and will also develop the necessary responsibility. If you pay all the necessary receipts every month without problems, then you definitely know how to handle money.
Cost control
Many people live exclusively from paycheck to paycheck. At the end of the month, they have to save significantly.
If you can manage your money in such a way that you don't have to worry about running out of savings until payday throughout the month, then you know exactly how to handle money.
Ability to save
You know exactly how and on what you can save. These can be basic discounts on essential goods or taking a bus instead of a taxi.
Even prices in different stores for the same product may differ. This is an excellent quality that will help you always have enough money to live on.
Big purchases
You definitely know how to handle money if you can sometimes afford grand purchases, without any installments or loans. Proper planning of purchases or a little saving, it doesn't matter how you do it.
Continuous learning
The world of finance is constantly changing. It is quite difficult to keep up with all the trends without using specialized literature.
It's great if you enjoy reading and learning new things about money.
Planning your budget in advance
It is much easier to manage a budget if you have a well-thought-out, hand-written plan for it.
You know in advance what amount and what exactly will be spent, which means you will be fully prepared for expenses. Thus, the very stability that is so necessary for a comfortable life appears.
The ability to postpone
You are comfortable setting aside some funds from your general budget and do so on a regular basis. Even if these are small savings, you always have capital for unforeseen situations.

Rational use of loans
Unfortunately, in the modern world it is quite difficult to do without credits and loans. But the main thing is that you know how to use it correctly.
