Here are those 5 tips shared by the State Bank of India:

  1. Do not overspend on wants- Your budget will always suffer if you indulge in excessive spending. According to financial experts, if you want to live a financially healthy life, you should avoid going over your budget and accruing large amounts of debt. Overspending can also keep you from achieving your financial objectives.
  2. Build a contingency fund- According to experts, the emergency fund should contain enough money to cover operating expenses for at least six months. Start transferring your savings into a new, separate account.
  3. Start saving for retirement- Consider setting aside 10 to 15 per cent of your salary for retirement.
  4. Invest in tax-saving funds and SIPs- SIPs are among the best tax-saving tools since they offer significant investment returns. If you invest in ELSS through SIPs, you can deduct up to Rs. 1.5 lakh from your taxable income.
  5. Improve credit score by paying credit card bills and EMIs on time.
