To this end, you can leverage these opportunities to register for free or cheap online courses that will further enlighten you on better ways to go about your financial decisions.
Consciously evaluate your expenses
Achievement in any area of your life starts with you taking the right decisions. You have to be calculative and daily brush up your math skills (did I just say math?).
Well, you may not be a fan of mathematics, but you don’t need to be a pro; you just need to get used to basic formulas that will help you to organise your savings, investments and budget.
Deploy financial podcasts

They do justice to the provision of adequate information on financial literacy. Now, you don’t have to sit or stay at a place to get educated; you can listen to it while doing other things.
Consult experts
There are individuals who have been able to hone their financial skills to a great level. Reach out to them for coaching, advice and mentoring. You can book sessions with them where you can ask questions that directly apply to you, for them to help you evaluate and, if necessary, restructure your financial decisions.
Familiarise with basic concepts
Try to grow your knowledge about financial concepts like spending, overspending, budgeting, savings, financial planning, interest rates and investments.
Understanding these concepts will help you to know how to apply each in your financial activities.
Subscribe to newsletters
One of the underrated things about newsletters is that they provide drops of information and step-by-step guide to making wise financial decisions. They come in as little drops of rain that accumulate over a period of time, enabling you to become a better financial manager.
