What is the best way to start saving money?

The best way to start saving money is to pay yourself first by automatically transferring a set amount from each paycheck into a separate savings account before you have a chance to spend it. Even starting with a small amount like 5-10% of your income builds the habit. Before that, track your spending for a month to identify where your money actually goes, then cut obvious unnecessary expenses like unused subscriptions. Build an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses as your first goal, keeping it in a high-yield savings account. The key is consistency over perfection, starting small and increasing contributions as your income grows or expenses decrease.
