SAVE MONEY : 4 WAYS
Now
a days everybody want to live a rich like life style. Shopping for branded fancy
looking clothes, riding fancy cars. There is nothing wrong in trying to live
like millionaires. But millionaires also live by golden rules, they never spend more than their
earnings. They have already future planning for 10-15 years further, even plan
for retirement. If we follow millennial life style, then we should follow all
their habits, not only fashion life style. But we on the other hand never plan
for the future, rather we keep spending more than earnings on fancy lifestyle.
According
to golden rule of saving, we should put 15% of our total earnings into our savings
account for future retirement plan. Once put into savings mean we shouldn't not
by any mean touch that money for any other purposes.
Here
are 4 ways to save money for future planning.
When we first
receive our salary check, our first urge comes to our mind is to spend the
money on different things. If we are not saving anything, then for first timer,
we should try saving at least one percent of our total salary amount in
savings. Gradually we should try to save more like 1%, 2%, 3%...so on.
Especially younger workers have a
tendency to spend more than on shopping, gadgets, bikes, cars. For them
starting from small amount is good. When they get used to this savings thing,
they can try to increase more percentage of earnings into savings.
Remember
desire of having money brings great joy, comfort. But joy/comfort has very
short life span. When comfort and joy ends and sure it ends, then we again need
to work more to have more joy. That way we never be able to stop working and
can never be really rich. Never driven by the desire.
2) Hold off The Idea of Having a BMW, at least
for now
We people love to
impress friends, by riding a very branded car like BMW,AUDI. We think it makes
us look cool. We sometimes buy car on auto finance. Financed money means the
money, that we haven’t own yet. During the repayment procedure we end up paying
even more money, than the original car price through interest.
The money that should go to the
savings for our future planning, we spend that money on cars just to impress.
3) Use Credit Card as less as possible
Most people love
their credit cards, as it gives the opportunity to buy something without even
having the money in the account .We take the money as loan from banks and later
we pay to the bank.
Credit card use concept, not
totally bad. Sometimes on emergency basis we can use the credit card. But the
opposite we use the credit card to buy everything. So owe end up giving more interest
to the banks. Moreover there are some fine for over usage of credit, fines etc.
which leaves us paying even more.
We should wisely use the credit
card, only when necessary. It’s not that rich people don’t take loans. They
take loans not to spend on shopping or on buying grocery items, instead they
use that borrowing money on investments for growth of their company, or on
stock market, mutual funds etc.
The loan that costing
you to pay higher interest rates, try to repay it very first.
4)Keep Track of Your Expenses
It is always good
idea to keep track of our expenses, so that we can know, where we spending most
and where we shouldn't or we are unnecessarily spending.
Often times we spend our
money on goods and services on unnecessary things, that we don’t even really
need. By keeping track, we able to identify and can cut short our unnecessary
spending.
For example “You
may find that you’re paying for Amazon, which is costing you $100, but you only
use Netflix”. For better
keeping track of spending there some apps also available which you tracking easily.
You can use those apps if you want.
