Saving money can be difficult, and I can certainly relate to that. There are a few things that you can do. The important thing is that you put a few dollars aside every month. Make sure that you put it aside, whether in a separate bank account from your own, or a piggy bank, or something. But make sure that it's put aside from the rest of the money that you have.

Hi anu! You could open a Recurring Deposit in a bank for 5, 7 or 10 years, where you could deposit monthly instalments. Else, you could go for some mutual fund monthly scheme.

Hi Anusha, you can buy a whole life insurance policy for yourself. You will get protection and at the same time save up for the future. If you have a baby, you can buy whole life insurance for the baby once it is a month old. You can add on some riders to the insurance policies, so that you are covered for everything. Many people do not know that they must buy personal accident policy for themselves and their kids. Sometimes kids play and fall, and that is claimable. If they eat fish, and fish bone gets stuck, that is also claimable. i suggest that you learn more about insurance policies, especially about the claim process, and what is claimable. You will gain knowledge and money, and have peace of mind.

Saving money in a bank is a good idea. Actually, a very good idea. But, with today's banks faltering, always be careful to choose the best banks to save money on. It's really a big challenge because, even some of the biggest banks in the world fail. So, take care.

Don't deposit all of your money in a single bank only. Trust the bank that has helped many people already. Depositing in a few banks will give you assurance that at least one of them will give you extra cash because of the interests. that's only my opinion. hope you save cash for the future. we don't know if there'll be a future depression in the stock market.

I ever heard this thing: Saving a lot of money in a long time is a bad idea because of inflation. The value of money will decrease as the time goes. Maybe in the future, in order to buy a piece of simple bread, we have to pay 20 dollars.. Who knows? So, by the time you already saving enough money, I suggest you to buy gold instead. Gold is better investment than money, as they are only slightly affected by the inflation.. Or maybe you can try to apply for education insurance plans for your children instead.. Just find a reputable insurance company around you and apply one..

You can start in small amount daily,some coins in a day.You can deposit it after a month or twice a month.In this way you can save even in small way.Time will past without noticing that you already save money.

It's really a good idea to start saving up for your future kid... whether the value of money decreases or not in the future, what's important was there is money that can be used for your child. Try to open up a bank account and invest on something you think will be worthwhile. Your earnings in myLot can be put on that account too ^^
