We call this the Forced Accelerated Savings Technique (F.A.S.T. for short) and it’s definitely the best hack for effectively and consistently saving money.

What do most people do when they decide to start saving money each month?
They commit to an amount. They go “I’m going to save $500 this month!”

Then they do it for a month or two and then stop. Why?

Because it’s almost impossible to maintain when you haven’t adjusted your lifestyle to that.

So here’s the ultimate hack for saving money.

This month, save 1% of your income. Immediately the second you get paid, take 1% and set it aside.

Next month, jump that to 2%.

And the next do 3%, and so on.

Until you are saving 10%+ of your income each month.

By doing this on a gradient you give yourself the chance to adjust your lifestyle and habits and your probability of success skyrockets!
