Managing money doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Whether you’re saving for travel, tackling debt, or just trying to get your finances in order, these simple hacks can make a big difference.

1. Track your spending daily.
Use apps like Money Manager or Spendee to see where your cash actually goes. Awareness is step one to control.

2. Follow the 50-30-20 rule.
Allocate 50% of your income to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings or debt. It’s a proven formula that keeps life balanced.

3. Automate your savings.
Set up an automatic transfer right after payday. You’ll save without even noticing.

4. Cut small recurring costs.
Audit your subscriptions — you’ll be surprised how much you can trim.

5. Set realistic goals.
Saving ₹5,000 a month feels achievable and keeps motivation alive.

Remember: Budgeting isn’t about restriction — it’s about freedom.
