Union Budget 2022: How Should I Prepare My Pre-Budget Personal Finance?

|

The finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, will introduce the Union Budget 2022 in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2022. However, nothing major is likely to occur for ordinary people, particularly salaried workers. The budget announcement may reflect a rebound in every sector of the Indian economy, particularly in the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak. India is expected to be the world's fastest-growing economy by 2022, and the Indian population may anticipate jobs as the nation may declare to pursue foreign investment to stimulate economic growth. However, even if you merely keep an eye on the Budget declaration, you should know how to manage or establish your own personal finance and budgeting in 2022. Every budget year, personal finance should be your first concern, and with that in mind, we'll go over three recommendations to prioritise this year in order to build your personal finance fortune.

 

An eye on having a emergency fund

An eye on having a emergency fund

An emergency fund, which is geared to be deployed during times of financial trouble, is essential in your personal finance portfolio. In the event of a job loss, a serious illness, or any other type of emergency, the fund will increase your financial stability by providing a welfare state that may be utilised to cover unforeseen costs.

Individuals, particularly paid people, should maintain their emergency funds that are highly liquidable. If you're just getting started with personal financial planning, the first step is to set up money for emergencies by leaving aside your living costs and investments.

When it comes to emergency funds, you should always have some on hand, and when it comes to saving for one, you should seek well-performing and highly rated liquid mutual funds in the debt category. By doing this you will get more returns than savings accounts which you can save for your emergency fortune.

Budgeting and tracking your expenses
 

Budgeting and tracking your expenses

More than accomplishing your personal financial objectives or preparing for your emergency necessities, you should begin budgeting and tracking your expenses as soon as feasible. It is recommended that you check your expenses on a regular basis in order to manage your personal finances properly and to know where your money is going and how much you are spending in an unreturnable pool.

Tracking your expenses will provide you with a list of your spending patterns, which you will undoubtedly believe is influencing your goal attainment. You may detect your unhealthy spending patterns and make improvements to enhance your budget by tracking and keeping track of your income and expenses. You may do this by looking at your savings account statement or using a budgeting or expense-tracking application.

You should remember Warren Buffett's quote "Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving" regarding budgeting your personal finances in a wiser way.

A thumb rule 50-30-20 to follow

A thumb rule 50-30-20 to follow

When it comes to budgeting, there is an unusual thumb rule that you can experiment with or even use right away to improve your personal finances. The 50.30.20 rule is a common norm among individuals, whether they own a business or are salaried.

The rule may be well known to you, but I'd like to remind you that 50 percent of your income should be spent on necessities, such as food, clothing, and housing, or electricity expenses, and 30 percent should be spent on what you want in your good lifestyle, such as vacations, personal stuff, or anything else, with the remaining 20 percent going toward savings for your financial goals.

Another rule to follow is the 70 20 10 rule, which states that 70% of your income should be spent on living costs, 20% should be saved from your earnings, and 10% should be used for repayments or investments.

These budgeting takeaways will aid in the fast expansion of your personal finance and provide you with a stress-free approach to your savings, spending, and investments.
