Thread: How to be smarter with our money?

Being smart with money don’t need to include high-risk investments or having thousands of rupees in the bank account. It doesn’t matter what our present state is, we can be more economically savvy in our day to day life. Begin by planning a budget to stay within our incomes and rank our financial goals. Then, we can work on paying down our debt, structuring up our savings and making better expenses decisions. Can you guys tell me how to use our money in a smart way?

This will give you satisfaction. After that, increase your savings by 1500rs/month. The gradual increase in the savings will help you in a long run. Also, read/learn more on investments. Invest in assets and not in liabilities. Buying a car is not an investment but an liability. Investment on mutual funds, share markets. As said earlier, read the documents properly/ learn more on investments. Do not keep your money in the bank. Savings account is a total rip off. Trust me, banks uses our money for their own good. Hope this helps.
