Professionals can save money in UK by setting a monthly budget, using public transport instead of driving, shopping at discount stores, and avoiding unnecessary subscriptions. Comparing utility providers and switching to cost-effective mobile plans can also help cut costs.
Late to the party, but one thing that's helped me is setting up separate bank spaces for bills, fun, and savings so I can see what's left at a glance. I also review direct debits twice a year because small forgotten ones add up. Anyone here using budgeting apps like Monzo or Plum and finding them useful long term?
I keep forgetting about class action checks too, so I've been using moneypilot (https://www.moneypilot.com/) to flag anything I might qualify for and file the claims without digging through a bunch of forms. It also reminds me about subscription renewals, which has saved me from a few random charges. Might be worth a look if you want something that does the boring tracking for you.
