Money is important to everyone. But we don’t even know where our salary is going. No clue, seriously! But it’s important that we save some money. Even if you are not materialistic and have no plans of travelling or getting married, you might face some emergency. So, even for that, you should have some liquid cash in hand. Well, here are a few tips on how can you save a little every month:
