How do I start saving money on a low income?

Start by tracking every dollar you spend for a month so you know exactly where your money goes. Then identify small recurring expenses you can cut, like subscriptions, eating out, or impulse purchases. Even saving 5 to 10 dollars a week builds a habit and adds up over time. Open a separate savings account and automate a small transfer on payday, even if it's just 10 or 20 dollars. Treating savings like a bill you must pay makes it consistent. Focus on building a small emergency fund first, around 500 to 1000 dollars, so unexpected costs don't derail you. As your income grows or expenses shrink, gradually increase what you save.
