To do this, you need to track your expenses for at least one month (we recommend three months). How do you do that? With a good old budget book in which you enter every expense for a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds boring? Good, then use one of the many good apps. You can track your spending, get great statistics and know your current wealth reliably at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reduce your expenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a list of all your monthly expenses, the first step is to look at all your fixed expenses. These are expenses that come due every month. These can be recurring expenses like the Netflix subscription, a loan installment, an insurance policy, dues for a sports club, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now question each individual item to see if you really still need it or if you can cancel this contract. Every year I find contracts that I no longer need and cancel them immediately. Even if it is only a small, 5-EUR contract per month, I avoid future expenses of 60,- EUR per year. Something like that adds up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nat\u00fcrlich k\u00f6nntest Du nun Deine Ausgaben klassifizieren und damit eine genaue Info bekommen wohin das meiste, Deines Geldes flie\u00dft. Du k\u00f6nntest z.B. alle Ausgaben f\u00fcr externes Essen gehen summieren (einschlie\u00dflich des t\u00e4glichen Kaffe &#8222;To Go&#8220;) und berechnen wie hoch deine Ausgaben hierf\u00fcr sind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way you will quickly get an overview of the reasons for your current financial situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Challenge, this means that for one month (30 days) you can<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create an overview of your expenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cancel all fixed contracts that you no longer need. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Du kannst diese Challenge noch einen Monat verl\u00e4ngern und im zweiten Monat vor allem die &#8222;variablen Kosten&#8220; in Gruppen zusammenfasst und Dir dort einen \u00dcberblick verschaffst. Gew\u00f6hn dir an, bei einer konkreten Ausgabe zuk\u00fcnftig zu sparen. Der t\u00e4gliche &#8222;Coffee to Go&#8220; ist nicht n\u00f6tig. Du kannst ihn auch zu Hause machen und ihn in einem Mehrwegbecher mitnehmen. So sparst Du t\u00e4glich mindestens 3,- EUR. Bei 20 Arbeitstagen sind das 60,- EUR pro Monat, also 720,- EUR pro Jahr. Damit kann man schon fast eine Woche in den Urlaub fahren. Es lohnt sich also!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life Score Points for the One Month Budget Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8297\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-768x769.png 768w, http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-12x12.png 12w, http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit-850x851.png 850w, http:\/\/rockyourgoal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/LSP-Persoenlichkeit.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get the marble in yellow and the Life Score Points for the One Month Budget Challenge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You get <strong><em>20 Life Score<\/em><\/strong> points if you keep track of your spending for a month and take concrete action.
