How to save like a Ninja?

19 Mar 2022 by Team FinFIRST
Money Saving Tips


Snippet


Savings are essential in achieving financial independence. However, many of us don’t save like pros. Here are some Ninja saving tips that you can use to be effective.

Saving money is essential if you want to create a corpus sufficient to take care of your financial goals. But how many of us save sufficiently?

When it comes to savings, you need to be like a Ninja. Just like a Ninja who fights smartly and effectively, you need to save in a similar manner. Wondering how to save like a Ninja? Here are some tips: 

Save First, Spend Later


A very basic and effective rule–save first, spend later. Whenever you get your paycheque or have a business, and you earn a profit, save a part of your income before you use it to meet your expenses. Set aside at least 5% to 10% of your monthly income and invest it in a safe and suitable financial instrument. Automate your savings to save every month, without fail.

Set a Budget and Stick To It


Meeting your expenses and then managing to save is possible if you have a well-crafted budget and you stick to it. So, at the start of each month, plan your monthly budget. List down your incomes and expenses. Give a little wiggle room for miscellaneous costs so that your budget is flexible. Thereafter, once you have made your budget, stick to it. Do not overspend and save as much as possible.

Step Up Your Savings, Regularly


Saving a uniform amount every month might fall short in creating an optimal corpus, especially since inflation is steadily increasing. So every year, try and increase the amount you save. This would help you save more towards your financial goals and create a suitable corpus.

Plan Ahead for Big-ticket Purchases


If you are planning to splurge big on any purchase, plan. Save up for the purchase so that you don’t put a dent in your savings in one go. Alternatively, if there is a facility of no-cost EMIs, opt for them. This way, you can pay reasonable amounts over a few months rather than dipping into your savings corpus.

Say No to Unnecessary Expenses 


So, this one is a no-brainer. Unnecessary expenses and overspending are poisonous to your savings. They not only deplete your wealth but also reduce your ability to save. So, if you want to save like a Ninja, say an absolute no to unnecessary spending. Spend wisely and save your money so that you can invest your savings and maximise your wealth.

Practice these Ninja moves and see your wealth grow steadily with time. Save more, invest more, earn money with zero investment and build yourself a financial corpus that effectively takes care of your goals.
