The Truth About Money Management

Managing Your Money

Money management isn’t just about sticking to a budget - it’s also about investing, creating wealth, and over time, being able to supplement your income with it.  Here’s what you need to know.

Budget

Set a clear budget for the month - you should know how much your outgoing is when it comes to rent, bills, groceries and other expenses - and aim to save at least 20% of your take-home.

Set Clear Goals

What are you saving for? Know what you want and the time frame required.  Making impulsive investments without understanding the long-term impact can have adverse effects. 

Indecision 

There are hundreds of investment options, and it can be daunting to choose one.  But letting your money sit idle when you could be growing it via investments doesn’t help.

Emergency Fund

You must have an emergency fund you can dip into if a challenging situation strikes.  You need to build this fund first and make sure it’s easily accessible should you need it. 

Mistakes Will Happen

People are wary of investing because they think they’ll make a mistake and lose money.  Yes, mistakes will happen - but as long as you are able to learn from them, it’s OK.

Get Started

Don’t let your search for the best investment lead to inaction.  So, even if it’s a small amount, just get started.

 Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
