Today lot of people are under lot of financial distress, as and when the income increases even the spending also increases and people overspend and are unable to keep a tab on money that is getting diluted from their pockets. People who are having lakhs together as their monthly salary are unable to prevent being a victim of Financial distress.

So, how can we prevent from being a victim of Financial distress??

Funelling more and more into savings

idea posted by Leena Khade Banc Assurance, Deutsche Bank

If you are saving 20% of your income and spending the rest, it's not such a big issue, simply because there always has to be a fine line between spending and saving. So increase this 10% (saving) to 15% this year and target slightly higher next year. Also remember, as your income grows, keep on funnelling more and more into that savings. Use insurance very sensibly to build those nest eggs. Medical insurance will prevent a sudden want of cash in an emergency. Life insurance will prevent financial distress.

You can add these points , if you like to do so. As our predecessors who were having no sophisticated financial plannings used to say : Don't spend beyond your means. However the time has changed, New financial instruments in the market has a direct impact on peoples savings and spending behaviours. Use credit cards wisely. Saving should be invested in different portfolios as the market fluctuations affect the value of investments. Investing only in one portfolio has great risks and ensure returns on investments. Review the expenses periodically (once in 2 or 3 months) and see which takes a higher share from your revenue. Try to optimize expenses which needs attention. Usage of vehicles is very important subject where several points are to be considered as in the case of credit card. Do no buy things just based on temptations, buy after weighing the utility. I am not an expert , but just put certain points which came to my mind. Babu Cherian.

Save 40% of your income and then spend.

Keep a watch on Expenses

idea posted by Suryanarayan Murthy Asst Vice President (Corporate Finance), A Hydro Power Project
Funneling more and more into the savings is not the only solution for financial distress. Also keep a watch on expenses and cut down unnecessary expenditure. As long as you follow both, financial distress may not dare to come nearer to you.

idea posted by Sony G.Tharakan Human Resource Executive, DCKAP Technologies

Spend wisely and also save and invest wisely,give room for OCCASIONAL indulgences to spice up the life but keep a track of your expenses by noting it down - this will help u understand unnecessary expenses.Another option would be to move a part of your income to a bank account for which you do not have a an ATM card/an option to withdraw money as and when you think of withdrawing the money.

Record Everything

idea posted by Edgar B Smallwood CEO/MD/Director, EKIWI Group Ltd.
In this age of Computers and Ipods etc., we should be able to record every Financial Transaction regardless of how small into certain categories : Essential - Necessary - Desirable - Unnecessary - Wasted - Do without. Total them up at the end of the Day or Week and see how much you could have saved by revisiting the Categories you assigned to each. You will be surprized at how an item can moved to another category - thus reassessing their importance.
