For savings, we should have extra money after all expenses. Therefor whatever is received as salary, out of that a minimum of atleast 10% must be saved duly controlling the expenses. The 10% shall be saved first in SB a/c for a year in a reputed bank. Out of this, after one year, 50% accrued money should be deposited in fixed deposits and balance to improve the living style. This exercise when carried out over year after year, there would be big balance in the Bank, when it is to invested.

Hi iam micheal
if you want money control

Be very strict with yourself for 2 weeks and do not spend any cash what so ever except for your bills and food, then see how much money you have saved! spend the money buying different and interesting things from second hand shops, car boot sales and anywhere else that comes to mind, then list them on EBay as descriptive and as professional as you can and it is almost certain that when all your things are sold you will be in profit. look at stuff on EBay that sells well and try to get that kind of stuff! then keep reinvesting your money this way, you won't get rich quick but it can be fun selling and you will come out in profit. Good luck
