Whether your salary is £91000 or £910000, it's always important to help to stretch your salary across the month by adopting a careful budgetting strategy.

A good starting point is to create a monthly budget outlining your essential expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, and transportation costs. Subtract this total from your monthly income to see how much you have left for discretionary spending and saving. Consider setting aside a portion of your income for savings, investments, and an emergency fund. Additionally, look for areas where you can cut costs, such as dining out less frequently or finding more affordable ways to enjoy leisure activities. Regularly review and adjust your budget to ensure financial stability and meet your long-term goals.


The other side of building long-term wealth for you and your family - other than budgetting and saving more - is earning more (ofcourse, usually easier said than done). Here are a few steps which could help you to do this by increasing your salary by a further £5000 in 2024:

2. Attend networking events and conferences to expand your professional contacts and potentially discover new job opportunities or clients that offer higher-paying roles or projects.
3. Negotiate a raise with your current employer by demonstrating additional skills or responsibilities you've taken on since your last salary review.
4. Take on freelance or consultancy work alongside your main job to increase your overall income.
5. Seek out mentorship or career coaching to gain valuable advice on advancing in your field and maximizing your earning potential.
6. Research and apply for higher-paying positions in your industry, leveraging your experience and expertise for better salary offers.
7. Invest in personal development courses or workshops to enhance your soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and time management, which can make you more valuable as an employee or entrepreneur.
8. Explore opportunities for remote work or flexible arrangements to access roles in different areas with potentially higher salary ranges.
9. Research the current market rates for your role and industry to ensure you are being fairly compensated, and use this information as leverage in pay negotiations.
