Shared Housing

For a single person who is living away from their families have a primary concern of housing as it covers a big amount of your salary. The best option for young, single men to save money is to share their apartments or houses with their roommates. This helps you to pay significantly less than renting yourself single handily. Splitting and sharing your flats with two or three people can save your thousands of dollars per year.

Cut Down Discretionary Expenses

Try to reduce monthly expenses on phone bills, cable bills or even Internet bills. Try to use cheapest phone plan instead of using an unlimited phone plan, or try to use daily cable subscription plans for T.V. so that if you are not willing to want television anytime, you can just cancel your subscription for that day. If you are sharing your apartment with your roommates, make them share your broadband Internet connection also to cut down your monthly bills.

Meals and Snacks

Most of the bachelors don't know to cook and get their meals from the hotels every day. To cut down the expenses, you just need to learn cooking. Meals at restaurants cost at least $10 but if you cook meals at your home it will cost under $5 including raw ingredients. It's also advised to avoid wasting money at bars. Avoid visiting entertainment places like gaming zones, bars, and clubs to save money and try to entertain in your home by making up new hobbies, watching televisions and through many other ways.

Debt Reduction

Try to pay your monthly debt off your credit cards or students loan before the deadline to avoid any interest charges. Interest on debts adds up quickly, and debts like student loans can eat your savings if you don't pay them in time. Meeting those debts earlier than required can minimize your stress level and promote your budget flexibility.
