Top Passive Income Ideas That Actually Work in 2025

How to Save Money Even When You Earn Small in Ghana

Mischief
  How to Save Money Even When You Earn Small in Ghana “My money is not enough to save” — we’ve all said it. But it’s time to change that thinking. In Ghana today, many people earn less than they need. Whether it’s GHS 300, GHS 800, or even GHS 1,200 per month, it feels like the money finishes before the month ends. So the big question is: How do you save when your income is small? The truth is, you can save — if you’re intentional. Let’s show you how. --- 💡 1. Change Your Mindset First Before saving starts in your wallet, it must start in your mind. Stop saying: > “I will save when I earn more.” Start saying: > “I will save from what I have now, no matter how small.” Rich people save before they become rich — not after. --- 💡 2. Save First, Spend What’s Left Most people spend everything, then try to save the leftovers. But there are never leftovers. ✅ Do this instead: The moment you receive your money (salary, MoMo, profit), remove your savings first. Even GHS 5 a day = GHS...
