Introduction to my blog

Dear Friend,

This is my attempt to give you some simple tips to save your hard earned money.

After you land your first job, you are too excited to splurge money to gift a saree to your beloved mother, a nice watch to daddy dear, that expensive sports shoes to little brother, a nice purse to sister and loads of goodies for yourself, the hard worker ;)

In a way, it is good to spend your salaries on our own leisure to enjoy our life.

But after 6 months or 1 year you should move from  a spender to a saver. You should make a plan to save money for your goals and then spend the remaining money left in your account.

Being some one who crossed this "Spender" phase of  life 6 years ago, I have accumulated some tips with the help of books, blogs, friends, well wishers , etc which helps me to plan my finances in an optimal way to reduce taxes and save money for my goals.

I will be sharing these tips with you to help you learn finances like a pro.

Happy planning and investing.

Stay tuned for more!

Please Note :
I am not a financial advisor asking you to invest your money as per my recommendation. I am just a facilitator who is reviewing various invest, insurance or saving options for you and helping you make an  informed decision on your own.
