Hello there, AFISA Elementors!
September is Financial Month
As the seasons shift, September is the perfect time to refresh your financial strategy. Now I'm going to admit that I am ACTIVELY working on many of these tips below. Am I a financial advisor? No. Is this wishful thinking? Nope. I did the math on what my wants, my needs and my desire. Everyday, I am taking action toward my personal and professional financial goals. How about you? What decisions can you make this month?
✨ Take September as your launchpad into stronger financial health. By stacking these small wins, you’ll set yourself up for bigger gains before the end of 2025
Whether you’re saving for a big goal, building a business, or strengthening your personal wealth, these 10 tips will help you move forward.
💰Ten Tips to Increase Financial Gain in September 2025
-
Automate Your Savings – Set up automatic transfers to your savings or investment accounts every payday.
-
Review Subscriptions – Cancel unused streaming, app, or membership services.
-
Meal Plan – Reduce food waste and overspending by planning meals for the week.
-
Refinance Debt – Check interest rates; consolidating or refinancing could save money instantly.
-
Increase Income Streams – Explore freelance, consulting, or digital products.
-
Negotiate Bills – Call providers (internet, phone, insurance) and request lower rates.
-
Invest in Education – Take a short course that adds career or business skills.
-
Sell Unused Items – Turn clutter into cash with a yard sale or online resale apps.
-
Maximize Employer Benefits – Review retirement contributions, HSA/FSA options, and match opportunities.
-
Track Daily Spending – A week of mindful tracking reveals hidden leaks in your budget.
📅 The September Challenge
“No-Spend Week”
Choose one week this month where you only spend on true essentials (rent, bills, groceries). Track your savings and notice your spending habits. Many find they save $100–$300 in just 7 days.
🧾 3 Pieces of Sound Fiscal Advice
-
Pay Yourself First – Treat savings and investing as a monthly bill you must pay.
-
Avoid Lifestyle Creep – If your income rises, resist inflating expenses; redirect extra funds to savings.
-
Think Long-Term – Don’t chase quick wins—compound growth is built through consistent small steps.
