How to save money on every month

 

Money can buy everything. And every month we exploit this attribute of money to the fullest. From hoarding on expensive snacks and unwanted knick knacks to branded apparel and the the zillionth pair of shoes, our indulgences know no bounds. And as if the big weekend spends were not enough, there are petty purchases every day that burn a hole in our pocket even without telling us. These are the 5 things you need to stop wasting money on right now.

Expensive coffee

Low-fat and decaffeinated or a tall mochaccino with whipped cream, coffee choices are dime a dozen. With each new addition on the menu and more and more coffee chains cropping up in the city your tastebuds are tempted to give in to the exorbitant prices charged for a simple cup of coffee.

Bottled Water

The idea of paying for one of the most freely available sources on this planet seems absurd. It may seem like a few bucks at first, but at the end of the week it is nearly the price of a dinner. Although it may not be safe to drink water from contaminated sources you can carry a bottle of water on your way to work or play to stop spending on bottled water.

High mortgage rates

Home loan payments every month can take away a big piece of your earnings. And with high interest rates on your current loan you end up paying more than you should. Interest rates on home loans are dynamic. If you did not research enough while taking your loan there is always the option of transferring you loan to a bank with cheaper rates and increase your savings.

Paying ATM Fees

The ATM usage rule is loud and clear. If you use an ATM from a bank that's not your own more than three times, you will often be charged a fee by that bank. And sometimes even your own bank can charge you for transactions over five times. The small fee is a wasteful expense and can add up to a big number at the end of the month. All it takes is a little effort to walk to an ATM of your own bank.

Impromptu Lunch

Weekdays keep you on your toes and making your own lunch means planning ahead. No wonder why ordering food online seems to be the workplace norm. While there may be offers that attract you to buy more food at a cheaper prices, in the long run it is both affecting your health and your bank balance. Home-cooked meals are not just cheaper, but also healthier since you can control their hygienic preparation.

NPS - How much to Invest?

  Though the deduction offered under Section 80CCD (1B) is `50,000 , it is not advisable to put the entire amount at one go. It is best to stagger your investments across several months, much like the SIP strategy in a mutual fund. However, don't make too many small contributions. There is a transaction charge of 0.25% or `20 (whichever is higher) on every contribution. If you invest `500-1,000 every month, you pay `20 per contribution, which works out to 2-4%. Invest at least `5,000-10,000 at one go. Remember, at most `2,500-5,000 of this will go into equities if you have chosen the maximum 50% allocation to stocks. The rest will flow into corporate bonds and gilt funds as per your desired allocation. Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1. ICICI Prudential Tax Plan 2.

EPF or NPS - Why not both?

  In the Budget, Jaitley also empowered the corporate employees to choose between the EPF and the NPS. The details are awaited but this could be a big change in the way Indians save for retirement. However, your employer must be ready to shift to the NPS as well. Should you shift to NPS if it is allowed? Experts say you should opt for both . NPS offered by corporates now is additional to the EPF , so the same structure should continue in future also. However, much will depend on the rules and whether employers and the Labour Ministry will embrace the change.     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.
