If you’re an employee and want to improve your finances the fastest, Aclado says your options are either to ask for a raise (if your efficiency as an employee is impressive enough) or to work overtime and earn more.

“Either in your current job or in a side hustle that either aligns with your passions or matches your skills.”

“Look for a new job and accept an offer that is significantly better than what you are doing now,” said Melanie Musson, financial expert at Insurance Providers.

“It’s nice to stay in a job you enjoy, but if you’re not being compensated for your skills and experience, you need to move to an employer that recognizes your value.”

If the goal is to make the biggest impact on your finances, Aclado recommends focusing not only on increasing your income, but also on deducting your expenses.

“Because let’s face it, the more your income increases, the greater the risk of becoming a victim of lifestyle inflation,” Aclado said. “However, if you pay careful attention to little things like: If you do things like limiting your spending, negotiating bills, and adopting cost-saving habits like using public transportation and canceling subscriptions, you’ll find your money quickly adds up. ”

If you have to make a monthly payment of $1,000 on your vehicle, Musson recommends selling the vehicle.

“A vehicle that costs you $5,000 gets you there and back to work and allows you to save $1,000 a month.”
