When the youths are in their first job or in college, savings and investments are the last priority or you can say NO in their agenda.
This mental situation is among most of the youth, because they are not aware of benefits of investing early. Even a investing of a very small amount will add up in huge amount in future.
Now we will see how to spend less and save the money and invest.
1. Prepare your expense sheet -
- Calculate how much you spend on entertainment, movies, clubs or parties etc.
- Calculate your utility bills you pay monthly like cell phones.
- The bottom-line is to find the ways where you can cut down your extra expenses and
save for bucks.
2. Careful use of credit cards –
- Most of the youth do unnecessary credit card purchases and later on keep paying
heavy interest rates.
- Credit cards charges top interest rates as compared to all other borrowings so take
proper precautions while using credit cards.
- Make use of card only when needed in emergency to pay insurances EMI, mutual
funds EMI etc.
3. Power of compounding –
- The word compounding in financial sector can do miracle.
- To make use of compounding you have to start investing early.
- To get more idea, have a look on example,
Example -
Suppose you Invested RS 50,000 for 3 years at 10 % at simple annual interest rate.
Simple interest rate = P x I x N = 50,000 x 0.1 x 3 = 15,000 (where P = Principle, I = Interest, N = Number of years)
Note - You earned total interest of RS 15000 for period of 3 years
Now lets see how compounded interest rate works
Suppose you Invested RS 50,000 for 3 years at 10 % at compounded annual interest rate.
Interest for Year 1 = P1 = P x I x N = 50,000 x 0.1 x 1 = 5,000 (total = 55,000)
Interest for Year 2 = P2 = (P1) x I x N = (55,000) x 0.1 x 1 = 5,500 (total = 60,500)
Interest for Year 3 = P3 = (P2) x I x N = (60,500) x 0.1 x 1 = 6,050 (total = 66,550)
Total interest earned over the period of three years through compound interest rate = 5000 + 5500 + 6050 = 16,550.
Now you can compare this to 15,000 earned over the same number of years using simple interest rate.
So, now I feel no need to explain further, get up and start investing.
Stop borrowing and spending – Generally youths in their first job or during college
period does borrow from friends and spend in parties, movies or on electronic gadgets
