Episode notes
Verify Your Payslip And Tax Code
- Check your payslip and tax code immediately to ensure your take-home pay is correct.
- Contact HMRC to fix an incorrect tax code because long-term errors can cause big under/overpayments.
Begin With Your Bank Statements
- Start by reviewing your bank statements for the last one to three months to spot leaks and unknown charges.
- Do this without judgment for 10 minutes to build visibility into where your money goes.
Automate Savings On Payday
- Automate savings and investing on payday so you 'pay yourself first' and only spend what's left.
- Use percentage or fixed transfers to separate spending money from savings immediately.
