Small Habits. Big Results.
You don’t need to earn lakhs to be financially strong. Sometimes, it’s your daily habits that make the biggest difference.
Here are 7 simple habits every Pakistani should adopt — whether you earn Rs.20,000 or Rs.200,000:
1. Track Your Daily Expenses
Most people don’t even know where their money goes. Use a small notebook or mobile app to note:
- What you spend on
- How much
- Why
Tip: Try apps like Money Manager, or just use Notes on your phone.
2. Say “No” to Unnecessary Shopping
Before buying anything, ask yourself:
- “Do I really need this?”
- “Can I wait for a sale?”
This one habit can save you thousands every month.
3. Save Before You Spend
As soon as you get paid:
- Take out savings first (even Rs.1000)
- Put them in a separate account or wallet
Don’t wait till the end of the month — because nothing will be left!
4. Cook at Home More Often
Eating out daily or ordering online destroys your budget. Home-cooked food is:
- Healthier
- Cheaper
- A great family habit
Tip: Make a weekly meal plan to avoid random expenses.
5. Discuss Money with Your Family
If your family doesn’t know the budget — they’ll overspend. Set a day (like Sunday) to:
- Review expenses
- Set limits
- Teach kids about savings
6. Avoid Installments (Qist) for Non-Essentials
Qist looks easy but eats your future cash. Only use installments for:
- Emergency electronics
- Education
- Health needs
Not for phones, fashion, or furniture.
7. Learn One New Finance Tip Weekly
Whether from:
- Smart Paisay blog
- YouTube
- A friend
Stay curious. Keep learning. The more you learn, the better your money grows.
Final Words:
Money doesn’t grow by luck — it grows with discipline and good habits.
