Savings are an imperative part of planning for the future especially today when life has become more uncertain that it used to be for our forefathers. If one hasn’t started saving for the rainy days, it’s time they started or at least started thinking about it. You might need money any damn time for the smallest or the biggest of reasons but the question is where to get it from? You can always put your charm on and ask your parents for some extra cash and after interrogating you, they might even go with it. It all depends on your answer to ‘what do you need that kind of money for!’ and everyone knows, it’s not easy getting past that one question. And let’s face it, sometimes your answer and the actual reason never match. So, save yourself from all that drama and learn how to save money! Here’s how you can do it. You’re welcome, fellow human.
#1 Start believing you’re broke
Believe in yourself but also believe that you’re broke, well, you actually are if you have to ask for money. So, yes, believe that one thing and cut down on your expenses, we know it’s as hard as cutting down on your cigarettes but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Oh, but remember, being broke and being a cheap ass are two very different things. Never be the latter one.

#2 Forget that weekends exist
We nearly cried on this one, no joke. Seriously, how does someone live without weekends? That’s the only thing that keeps us going every day. And do you have any idea what weekends mean to the people who’ve got jobs? It’s the only saving grace for us! Basically, all you have to do is, stay home and make use of your internet speed which doesn’t sound so bad once you’re in your bed and let the day pass by. But staying home on weekends is like working, it’s not always fun. Thinking about all the money you’re saving by not spending it might make it a little lighter.

#3 Refrain from anything that’s going to cost you a big chunk from your wallet
Okay, even on the internet, there are a few things you need to stay away from. This is hard but it is necessary, NO UNECESSARY ONLINE SHOPPING. And if you’re like, ‘I don’t even do that!’ stop lying to yourself. There are better things you ‘need’, save money for that rather. It’s time you got your shit together.

#4 Stop with the ‘bahar ka khaana’!
Even you know, that’s what most of us spend our money on and shamelessly because hello!? It’s food! It deserves my money, your money and everybody’s money! But you will have to give it up or at least cut down a little till the time you’re saving money. Look at the brighter side, you save money AND your lose weight WITHOUT joining a gym! Now, is that awesome or is that awesome!?

#5 Actually stick to your plan
It’s good that you want to save money; it’s great you’re trying and it’d be spectacular if you actually continue with what you started. By the end of it, you have money in the bank, you’ve lost weight and if that doesn’t make you happy, you’re one greedy human but that’s none of our business.
