A quick expression for you “pull in the belt”.

What this means is to take care of your expenses a little bit more carefully. Spend less money.

So as it gets to the end of the month, maybe you don’t have enough money before that next paycheck comes in. So you need to pull in the belt, not spend as much money.

If you had a big expense during the month, like car repairs, maybe for the rest of that month you need to “pull in the belt”. Not eat out, for example.

So you’re spending less on things that you don’t really need.

That’s “pull in the belt”.
