Smart Idea 1: Record Your Expenses
The biggest obstacle in saving money is to identify the bad expenses, and even after identifying it, you have to stop yourself from spending over them.
The technique that can help you in this case is ask and wait. Due to advertisements, or to grab some discount offer we often buy those things that we did not really need to be true.
So when you are buying something that confuses you, that maybe it will cost you a bad deal, then you have to follow two things before buying that item, 1st step- ask- Ask yourself whether you really need to buy it, Or are you going to buy the item without no reason or maybe just to show off?
If the answer you get is no, you do not really need that item, then there is no need to buy that item, But if the answer comes is yes, then come to the next step that is wait.
Wait for 3 days and then again ask yourself the same question, do I really need to buy this item?
Again if the answer come yes then you it is sure you really need that item.
Go ahead and buy it.

Smart Idea 3: Save Money
Money will save you Many of us think about saving money somewhat like that, We should keep all the expenses of the month and then save the money that will survive. But one of the most successful investor in the world, Warren Buffet, said exactly suggests the opposite.
According to him, we should first save money, and then spend the remaining money. We should first pay ourselves first and then others.
So, after getting the salary, the first job is to leave at least 10% of salary on the savings fund. Then, putting aside at least 10% of the salary in the investment fund, the money should be utilized for our investment to understand the exact time and the right opportunity.
With the remaining 80%, we should manage all the expenses of the month. To do this correctly, you must first record all your expenses at least one month.
Then plan accordingly, excluding all the bad costs, you can save just 10% of your salary or save more. At the beginning of the month like this, the percentage will be saved separately by saving.
And now almost every bank has a faculty of automatic deduction, which is also called recurring deposit.
