It’s during this time of the year that we get to
reflect upon the goals that we set at the onset of the New Year. Have you achieved
them? Well, setting goals is an honourable thing to do but the probability of
accomplishment is dependent on your ability to track daily activities that
contribute to the achievement of these goals.
Take an example, say, if you set yourself
to accumulate $7,000 for whichever reason by the 31st December 2014 on a fixed income of, say, $800. To achieve such a goal, it calls for saving ideally half a pay check every month. Whether feasible or not will depend on a number of factors such as;

Analysis of daily
expenses
It’s vital to analyse your spending habits and curb
them where necessary. An effective way would be to use an Expense Tracker. The tracker provides you with several categories
where you get to slot your expenses such as fuel and transport, treatment, entertainment and many more. Now here
is the catch, you decide how much to spend on particular expenses and key in
those figures. As you spend, the tracker computes a percentage of the amount
spent relative to the budgeted amount.

Accumulation is simply the art of adding up a one plus
one. An accumulation/Savings tracker leads
you to your financial goals. As you accumulate, the tracker gives a reality
check of the amount outstanding to achieve the desired amount for each of
financial goal. Accumulation Tracker
Okay, there you go. Make use of these templates, enjoy
