‘Save Money’ is the only advice which we receive from our parents, and we know how important it is. Don’t we? But, it is a battle that only legends conquer to live happily ever after with it. But what about us? Well, saving money is not an option but an essential survival kit. But how will you build your personalised kit to nurture all your needs? Well, when you need it, think of The Panel Station. We are here with some essential tips to save money that will boost your wealth and help you to plan everything accordingly.

The Game of Addition and Subtraction: Save Money Now

Save money -Addition & Substraction

One should keep aside a fixed amount to be saved every month. Yes, if you are beginning your journey to save money, then you need to follow some golden rules.

Divide your income into three parts – Essentials, Desires, and Extras.

Essentials are your rent, groceries, EMIs, etc. A major part of the income should go into fulfilling the essentials. Yes, it is important to pay your rent and settle your EMIs more than eating out at your favourite Chinese restaurant. Only when you have covered the essentials move on to the desires. Desires are lifestyle-related expenses like a fancy dinner date, buying new clothes, online gadgets shopping, etc. Remember to put a clear demarcation line between the essentials and desires. The problem often arises when we start considering our desires as essentials. So, if you are thinking that getting a new iPhone is more important than paying EMI or hosting a party for friends is more important than paying rent, we would say: Dear friend! Change your priorities.

But how much can you spend on your desire and needs, and how much should you save? You can make a 50-20-30 rule: where 50% of your salary goes to the essentials, 20% towards desires and a balance of 30% towards savings.

Unnecessary Debts: Might Cause Problems

Save Money - Unnecessary Debt

We all have friends who are ready to lend us some money when we are in need. But borrowing money should always be restricted to fulfilling essential needs. Unnecessary debts can land one in problem because it is always easy to take but difficult to give. So if you have been taking money from friends for a party or buying expensive lifestyle items, remember to settle it back at the earliest before it becomes a noose around your neck. Similarly, stop swiping your credit card at every item you wish. It is not a magic wand. Credit card interest rates are on the higher side.

Start Investing: It Is the Smartest Move

Save Money - Start Investing

It is never too late to start investing. But before starting investing, you must also know how to manage your money. It doesn’t matter if the amount is large or small; investing money in the right place can be helpful in hay days. So, check out the right option for investment and take suggestions from the right people before investing.

Track Your Spending

Save Money - Start Investing

This might sound like a tedious task, but believe us, it will help you to save a lot more. Though you don’t have to keep a count of every penny you spend, it is a good practice to list down your expenses. That way, you will know how many unwanted expenses you make in a month or week. So, if you are old school, you can maintain a journal jotting down all your expenses. Or, if you are techy, you can use apps to keep track of your income and expenses.

    I beg to differ in a few areas. Firstly this is not the “only” advice given by parents, surely? Certainly not mine and, had I been a parent, I’d have had more advice.
    Second…I’d budget for essentials then savings with a little left over as either non-essentials or to be added to savings or maybe carried over to next payday. I certainly would not budget for those non-essentials. I would always prioritise saving.

    • Fanisa Ngwenya Reply

      A very good and eye opening article, more specifically where it takes about tracking your money. You would be surprised at how much one spend and without even tracking small amounts on non essentials

  11. It’s good to invest your money but you’ve got to be careful and snart about it to avoid incurring more losses.

  12. The harsh part of reality is you need to make that money before attempting to manage it. And with TPS, you can earn some stipends during your free time.

    Excellent tips to save money and how to track our spendings.
    Excellent platform for all who want to earn extra for their personal and charity expenses.
    Would like to do more surveys and give my opinion. Would also like to add a point that the age limit shouldn’t be a point to give opinion as older people have better experience then youngsters.
    Thank you and gratitude

    • Eye opening article. We tend to prioritize what we really don’t need. But sometimes in as much as we try to save its never enough, we survive on hand to mouth everytime. Sad reality. We can only try after all!You’ve simplified something that has been the bane of almost my entire life. I knew there are essentials which are needs and desires which are generally luxuries. Never had the extras column. But the rise of prices for everything and inflation, some luxuries have really become basic necessities like a car which is more of a convenience than a nice to have. I’m going to put the shared ideas from the article to good use and practice. I need to just spend 50% on essentials not more. Thank you 😊

    The best advice in this article is keep a track of your spending. It does not have to be difficult, I use a 16 column Analysis book where I track all my major item like power, rates, food, phone, insurances, etc. You head the columns with your own personal headings. After you have done this for a year you have an excellent idea of your average monthly costs. You then have a good idea of where your money is going and what disposable income you have to save. I track my spending daily, which is usually not more than 5 or 6 entries. This also shows you where you can make cuts on unnecessary spending. You will be surprised how quickly savings can mount up. I am on both a government and private pension, and some income from investments, but my income annually is not a lot. In spite of this I still save enough for an annual holiday, and a recent big ticket item purchase.

  76. Investing money earns you money, saved money is potential withheld, that’s just my opinion but the writter had the right ideas.

  77. Thrift and moderation in spending is a virtue in itself. A lack of it can seriously complicate daily life and lead to considerable hardship. In an age of ubiquitous consumerism, it is easy to fall into a mania for mindless spending. This can lead to a condition known as shopaholism, which is similar to other forms of addiction and can be treated in residential centres. In order to avoid such dangers, one should follow the principle that “too much is unhealthy” or “find moderation in everything”.
