Rebecca Pike, money expert at Finder, said your personality can have a lot to do with your approach to money, even if you’re not an astrology fan.
‘Whether you’re into it or not, many Aussies love to know what their star sign means for their future – financial or romantic,’ she said.
‘Leos might be known for their ambition and dedication, but the truth is anyone can improve their financial position with just a few small changes.’
Ms Pike said setting up a dedicated savings fund was a good step towards building wealth.
As a general rule, it’s best to have at least three months’ worth of savings in an ’emergency fund’ to only use if needed.
‘Keep it separate from your transaction account and try to top it up with at least 20 per cent of your income each month,’ Ms Pike said.
‘If you’re looking for a competitive return, Finder Earn, available within the free Finder app, offers a 4.01 per cent p.a. return on deposits of up to $50,000.
‘You also want to make sure your online shopping addiction or Uber Eats habit isn’t standing in the way of your savings.
‘Set up a budget and try to keep your “fun” expenses within 30 per cent of your earnings,’ she said.
