Accountancy
SAVE MONEY OR ACCOUNTANCY?
What makes you happy? Well, for me it's my salary because finally, I can buy that dress I always wished for, I can bring gifts for my loved ones and whatnot. But it is rightly said, 'money is just like sand, very quickly it falls from your hand'.
WILL THIS HELP?
So, I decided to maintain a book entry for all the expenses and revenue I incur and earn respectively. Mainly this decision was taken to analyze the way I spend my money and how can I save it. More importantly, I can figure out the unnecessary expenses by myself.
I was surprised by the increase in my savings because of maintaining a proper record of the financial transactions.
