Expenses

Ok so this part may not be the most fun but you do need to work through your budget to know what your expenses are. Many people avoid this key step because they feel overwhelmed at the cost of living.

It frightens them and they feel helpless to change their situation. As earnings increase during their career, they never readdress this. Take 15 minutes to go over your expenses. Even a busy professional can find this small amount of time.

Use your internet banking history to help you work it out. There’s apps that can help you or you can do it old school style in excel or in a notebook. Just do it (thanks Nike!).

Emergency fund

You need to have 3-6 months living costs available at all times. There will always be unplanned life events. Your health or working situation may change. Or someone close to you may need you to care for them for an extended period.

Once you’ve worked out your expenses, check to see if you have a minimum of 3 months of funds available. If you don’t, you need to do the work and save. If you already have the amount you need available, great!  

For better than bank interest options, check out these short term investment options.

For people with a high number of dependents, it is worth having 6 months of living expenses available. It is all about risk mitigation, just in case. An emergency fund is the simplest way to avoid financial stress if you life situation changes.

Goals

Once you have your budget in place and your emergency funds amount saved, you can shift gears. Think of your short-term savings goals. Are you saving for a vacation? Are you planning extra study?

Anything you wish to accomplish from now to 3 years as a busy professional. Understand the cost and the time you wish to achieve this within. Work out the monthly amount you need to out away to make it happen.

Use a higher than bank interest investment option to help you save faster for it. There are a lot of low risk options out there with no lock-ins that earn more at least 2 times more than the best FD rates in India.
