Starting from retirement to investing, tax to credit cards or financial freedom to money management, one common thing is to have"control over our money".
The best time to start money management is when we are young professionals. This period gives you money, options to spend the same and options to save as well. Young working demographic people need guidance the most. So, let me give you some tips on it.
i) Eat out less - eating outside is more expensive than cooking.
ii) Set a budget - fix a budget, plug as many leaks as possible and boost your emergency fund today.
iii) Assess your fire ability - recession time so anybody can be fired at any time, hence if you are expert in anything and that expertise is valued, then let those people know specially about this who make the firing decision.
iv) Polish up your resume - always keep an updated resume irrespective of good or bad time and whether you are looking for a job or not. It is also a good idea to accomplish your achievement.

Explaining some more money saving tips usefull for all readers of any age:
i) Income and expenditure - start thinking big and wide. Untill you have the appetite you cannot think of having more food. So dream big and want more, there is nothing harm in it. Everyone wants to get rich, so explore all possible ways where you live to earn some extra money. Start something small today and you will grow big tomorrow. And on the other hand understand and prioritise your necessities and avoid unnecessary expenditures. Expensive products are not always good, do some bargaining which can save little amount for you. Afterall its your hard earned money.
ii) Investment and Tax Saving - invest your money wisely after checking out all possible opportunities keeping in mind where ever you invest, it should have maximum possibility for growth so that it hepls you in long run. At the same time do some study and research related to your living style and go for some tax saving plan as well. Insurance for example is a very good idea to save tax.
iii) Save money in two bank accounts atlest - keep all your savings in bank no.2 and do not touch it at all and rest amount for expenditure in bank no.1. Now once you make a good amount of savings try out all possible ways to invest them taking calculated risk to increase your profit.
