The Intelligent Spenders

While a great deal of thought and effort goes into earning, you may need to think about spending money right. The intelligent spender uses certain guidelines to make his expenses:
1. Planning
The intelligent spender does not use money in an ad hoc manner. The expenses are budgeted carefully. The plan includes a long term plan for a lifetime estimate and short term plans for the year.
2. Responsibility
An intelligent spender is responsible and fulfills his responsibilities before making other expenses. You have to use money carefully and avoid wastage.
3. Charity
The sum given away to charity should not be disproportionately high. It is all right to give away a small portion of your earning to a worthy cause.
4. Saving
The right attitude is to save money for the future. You should be saving at least 25% of your income. This should help you if conditions become adverse.
5. Support to the Family
You must support your family with your income. In case anyone in your family needs money or is going through a bad financial phase you must contribute support. This is especially important if money is required for education or health.
6. Gifts
Do not gift away large sums of money or expensive gifts to anyone not closely related. You are not responsible for those who are not your family.
7. A Good Life
A good lifestyle is an excellent way to spend your money.

These principles will let you feel your money is well spent.
