15 Practical Ways to Be Richer One Year from Today

I got an email from a reader who asked me what it will take him to become richer in the next one year and meet his financial goals from today.  He wants me not only write about it for my readers but also for me to make it in detail for anyone wanting to start his journey to a wonderful living. 

I have looked back into my life and that of others, especially what makes people meet their financial goals and what make them commit financial suicide. What I have been able to find out of experience is that we can speak to our finance and take action about it by taking some very simple actions through discipline. In all, the only true answer is that you need to get started today. The most important step, as always, is to get started.

Following are 15 practical ways you can follow to become richer in a year from today.

1. Eliminate Unnecessary Phone Bills

One of the leakages of our income is actually our phone bills. If you start keeping your phone recharge cards you have used over time, you will make a discovery of your phone bills for each month. My advice is that multiply all your usage and you will see what you have wasted over the year which is avoidable. 

You have to be disciplined about this and see that you will be able to save more over the year. I have not said you should not make calls, but you need to monitor your calls, especially social calls. You could peg and decide how much you are spending weekly and monthly on your phone bills and stick to it. There is no need for your being on phone for minutes and hours with no aim. At best, you can make it brief and close leakages. This way, you have more savings.

2. Read News Online Instead of buying Newspapers or Magazines

Time has changed. You do not need to start buying that newspaper or subscribe to that print news paper when you can go online and read them even for free today.  Best of all, whatever you want to read about is online and so you do not need to spend that money on the next newspaper.

You could look at ways you can eliminate more expenses on internet connection and close the leak. Never live your life on social media. And refused to be controlled financially by your internet usage.

4. Reduce all your living expenses by at last 10%

Every one of us knows that cutting off completely our expenses can be very difficult. Therefore I do not advise that you eliminate this completely. But you need to cut off your living expenses by at least 10% across board. Some of the areas you can cut off your 10% are food, entertainment, utilities and gas. When you cut of some percentage of your expenses, you will have the money to save more too.

This could be a weekend or part time business or investing in a trusted person who will run your business and this becomes a stream of income for you. Let me state this;  never despise small beginnings, as even if you are getting just a little extra income added to your own monthly expected income, that is just the right road map for your being richer in your year from now.

There is a way being and meeting with negative minded people affect your life and every area of your life including your financial life. It is often said that if you hang out with five people who are broke, in no time, you will be the sixth broke person. Never be infested with poverty fever of negative thinkers. Upgrade your level of friends and start thinking like them. Move to the next level with people who are high possibility thinkers on wealth creation and see you getting richer in a year from now.

11.  Write down Your Financial Goal For One year

The bible says you should write the vision down and run with it. Once put your decision into a written plan, your subconscious mind is triggered to register it and take action. Writing it down and reading it on daily basis will also tell your mind that you have to achieve it. This way, the law of attraction will play itself into your ability to get focused on a consciously directed action. This will enable you achieve results that are surprising to you. 

You could write your goals in several ways. Pictures, words on cards and keep them in several places you will be seeing them on daily basis to read consciously. You could keep different cards of your goal settings in your purse, wallet, office bags, paste them on your door, bed Conner or even make it a jpg on your computer and phone as your screen display.

12.  Verbalize your goal each day
 Writing and pasting your goal cards is one step. But the next step that will eat deeper into your subconscious is verbalizing what you have written with positive affirmation will also remind you of your goal each day. One way to go about this is to read it aloud and meditate on it, seeing yourself achieving your financial goal by the exact date of one year from the day you start.

13.  Save 10% of Your Earnings Each Month

If you are going to be successful in wealth accumulation, then the only way to do it is to have a saving culture and mentality. Save 10% of your monthly earning and resolve to increase the percentage each month with a target.
