From the finance gurus: Every rupee counts

Strong finances are about being smart now

Most people are not satisfied with how much they earn when it comes to money. Nor do they feel secure about their future with their current income. Despite working hard, their income only covers basic living expenses, and spending on recreational activities makes them feel guilty. 

If you feel stuck in a cycle of falling short on funds or think that your earnings don't support your desired standard of living, or are looking to save up for future plans, start practicing the following tips to be financially stable: 

1. Stick to a budget

Budgeting is a two-step process because making the budget is just the first part! Following it is the next and crucial part that directly impacts your finances. Budgeting and writing down all expenditures helps to clarify how you're really spending and on what. So, before you start spending, make a budget! Whether you are going shopping, planning a vacation, going out with friends etc. always have a budget and be mindful of it. 

2. Spend cautiously

Most people fast for health and religious reasons. But have you heard of going on a spending fast to improve financial health? If you just can't stop spending money, this technique may seem like torture at first, but you'll end up with stronger willpower to control unnecessary spending. Try this out for at least two or three weeks and see how much you can save. 

3. Think long-term financially

Even if you're currently on a tight budget, think about the life goals you want to achieve. Maybe your dream is to buy a home, a car, retire early, have children, or all of these and more! A strict budget is a key component in your long-term financial goals. The long-term joy that lasts beyond a few short days is worth striving for and sacrificing insignificant spending.

4. Diversify your savings

As we've seen in the last two years, times are highly unpredictable and having sufficient savings to help during emergencies is very important. It's recommended to protect and build on your savings by making low-risk investments. Additionally, look for investments that you can easily liquidate. 

5. Set up another income source

As mentioned above, it's wise to have a source of funds to rely upon in unpredictable times. However, instead of touching your savings, create a secondary income stream that can eventually grow larger to support your financial expenses and goals. In addition to your main source of income, having a side job that gives you extra income will help you reach your financial goals. 

One of the ways you can earn extra money is through IDFC FIRST Bank's Personal Loan Partner Program. It is a special opportunity that requires no travelling, long hours, or investment.
