Money plays an importnt role in planning our lives and in deciding the standard of living we endorse. Managing our money is thus as important as taking our daily meal.

We all know our yesterday and the moment that we re living through but the tomorrow is an uncertainity.Who can tell what the very next second beholds for us. It would thus not hurt to cater for the unpredicted needs that might arise anytime in the ner future. Smart money managers always think about their future when planning their lives.

Some important ideas that might help to build up a secure tomorrow are-

1. Know your monetary status - The first important thing in managing your money is to calculate your earning from all sources and your assets like personal property. Then you must take stock of all your spendings which cn been done by keeping a simple record of all the spendings including bill payments, credit cards etc. This will provide you with an insight into how you spend your money and also help you cut short all wsteful expenses

2. Save up for your future needs - A simple step to do this is to first plan monthly budget keeping in ming your income, requirements and intended savings. A budget is always a good idea to help you keep track of your monthly spendings and cutting down on the additional, undesirable expenses. It is also important to follow the budget strictly to save up. Plan your savings keeping in mind your future needs like your child's higher education, marriage, your retirement etc..

Always pay up your bills, and interests due on time. Avoid the debt trap, be systematic with your payments. Maintain a good credit record as your credit repayment is now being tracked by Credit information beaureu, and are likely to impact your future borrowings. you can compare the credit interests and switch to credit cards with lower interests.

 

3. Invest your money -Investing your savings in some good schemes is a good idea, because the moment you invest your money it will start bringing gains for you. It is definately better than borrowing where the cash flow will follow the other direction, as you pay the interests on the debts. place your money in an investment with good rerturns.

 

4. Keep some cash handy -Life is like zig zag path, what lies at the next turn is often unforseen, so it is important to keep some liquid cash handy for such times of need. The exact sum of course would vary from person to person depending on the self-analysis of the future risks and the family circumstnces. You must therefore consider this too while investing your money. Make sure that there is always some cash available to meet sudden needs.

You can think of and plan many more measures to manage for a brighter, prosperous future. Remember a smart money management means planning well for your future.

the mathematics is pretty simple, if a person earns Rs 200 daily and saves Rs 50 depending on the circumstances, he would save Rs 1500 at the month end. Rs 6000 in four months, 12000in 8 months. If he puts his savings
in the bank month end, he would gain interest too. He can plan investments eventually

Good article. Would like to discuss more on this. All these things are for the people who are earning good money say monthly salary wherein you have got the chance to save money. How would anybody suggest a daily wager to save money. Does anybody have any idea regarding the same. Say a daily wager earns 200 rs per day. How can he save money in order to secure his/her future?. All the algorithm and mathematics designed are for the people who are earning very good money, I suppose. Can you put some light on this.
