Observe Your 6 Months Expenses And Analyze Where You Can Cut Down
Either earning more or spending less, any one of these can help you save money. If we choose the easy way, then the latter is the best to go with.
In order to lessen your spending, you need to analyze your expenses, no not one month but at least 6-months. You have to look at six months of expenses pattern and find out where you can cut the flab. This small can be much beneficial for people who have a lot of spending habits, especially, those who have the feeling that their credit card has magic, they can swipe it and get whatever they desire for.
While analyzing your last 6-months expenses, look for those expenses that you could have easily avoided, but you didn’t. Go cutting down these unwanted expenses in the coming months. This way you can save money.
Go Adding A “Personal Tax” For Your Paycheck
Every individual who earns has to pay a part of their income as tax to the government for the welfare of our country. It's time you should add a personal tax to your income for the welfare of your household. The best part of this idea is you can keep the tax amount deducted along with you.
Here is what you need to do: Deduct 10 percent tax on your monthly take-home pay. For instance, if you earn Rs 30,000 per month, deduct 10 percent tax or Rs 3,000. Now you have at least Rs 3000 saved per month. You can use it productively like if you invest this Rs 3000 per month in mutual funds, at the end of 12 months you can get a 6-8 percent return. Please keep in mind that putting this money every month in your savings bank account will keep it idle with no growth.

Make That Side Hustle That Nobody Knows About
For many people, their job (be private or government) is the reason for their happiness, not because they like or love their job, but it gives salary or income. People receive promotion and raise in their income, but that raise is sometimes not enough. Sometimes people have to look at some other ways or work to add that extra source of income for their family. Yes, that’s right. When you are good at two-three things, it is time to multi-task.
Having an extra source of income doesn’t mean that you need to do exotic jobs like doing accountancy or making the next best-selling novel. Go for simple jobs like being a babysitter for pets, looking after administration at a neighborhood club, or even arranging help for rich/old people who would pay you.
This extra source of income will ensure that you are saving a sum of the amount per month, and income from your primary job will guarantee that extra money isn’t spent.
