A few pieces of advice which may help you.
Every month, write a budget overview of your income and your expenses. Go through everything, and write it down on paper, by hand.
Go through your expenses one by one, starting with unavoidable ones like bills and rent, then to other necessary expenses such as food and things for your pets.
Then, go through those expenses one by one and ask yourself if you can save money there, or use your money more responsibly.
Your bills for example, depending on where you live, if you are below a certain income threshold you may be able to be exempt from paying certain bills, also you may be able to get subsidies that you are unaware of, or perhaps you can look for other available options for certain services which may have cheaper prices.
In short, become completely and fully aware of your finances and where your money is going, and become conscious of all your expenditure and then also investigate all the options available to you for alternatives and any savings you can make.
Go through your expenditure on food, and other groceries and keep track of everything you spend money on.
Then evaluate how much of this you actually need to spend money on! Also evaluate if you can find better deals for things you buy, or if you can buy cheaper alternative products without sacrificing quality.
Something you could look into for example is, do you have a local market where you can buy foodstuffs? Often times if there is a market, you can buy vegetables and other foods far cheaper there than from a super market.
Investigate your options, and become aware of your spending habits, discipline yourself where needed and make cuts where you can.
Then lastly, one of the best advices for anyone who wants to start saving money.
For every ten coins you receive, keep one for yourself!
In more modern terms, always put a tenth of your money away and don't touch it!
Teach yourself this: for every 10 coins I receive, I always save 1 in my purse. Or, for every 10 currency I receive, I always save 1 on my savings account.
One tenth of that you make is yours to keep!
Doing so, regardless if you believe you can or not, will have you save up money is no time.
You will see your savings account grow by the day pretty much. Every month you will see it grow, and then you realize that you can save money.
That advice comes from this excellent book:
