Finance Coach Shares Three Steps To Save While Repaying Debt
Nothing left after paying EMI? Here's how to save money in 3 steps while clearing debt, shared by finance coach · livemint.com

Many people pay monthly loan bills called EMIs and then have little money left.

Aruna Keerthy shared three ways to manage this problem.

First, people can reduce or pause one or two flexible expenses.

Second, they can avoid taking new loans while paying off current ones.

Third, they can put money from finished loan payments directly into savings.

Even ₹2,000 or ₹3,000 each month can be a starting point.

Part of a salary increase or bonus can also go toward debt or savings.

The goal is to create a little extra room and build consistent money habits.
