9 Clever Saving Hacks for Teenagers - This will save you a fortune! 💸
1. Make your savings journey a game 🎯
Set ground rules. Every time you find a Rs. 20 note, EVERYTIME, put it aside as savings in a different wallet. Manage to do this and you will save 400-1000 rupees every month!
2. Maa ke Haath ka Khaana FTW 🥘
The small amounts you spend daily on chips, chocolates, maggi, or any other junk food order can amount to Rs. 200-1000 a month. It's crazy how much you can save just by cutting down on these impulse purchases.
And honestly, once you go to college, you're gonna miss your homemade food, so might as well enjoy it while you can. This will save you a bunch of cash and there is an added perk of staying fit!
3. Spend half, Save half : The Ninja Technique to save money 🐱👤
The easiest way to smart spending is to spend only half of your pocket money and save the other half. Okay maybe it's not that easy 😛. But once you get to it, it will become second nature for you.
Ideally your savings should hold at least 3 months worth of pocket money as emergency fund. Honestly, you will love the pride and confidence that comes with saving money.

4. Mo' Money, Mo' Problems : Take your pocket money in Installments 💰
Having to ask your parents for money again and again is a lil bit embarrassing right? EXACTLY! Ask your parents to give you only a part of your pocket money at one go. This way, your expenses will be in check and you will become so much more conscious.
5. Spy on your money : Track where your pocket money disappears 🔎
Think about all the things you want to invest in - and all the things where your pocket money is going to waste. Divert those funds to that course you wanted to buy, or that expensive laptop you always wanted. Money spent on personal growth, will become your greatest investments.
6. Keep an eye out for student discounts! 👀
