Maintaining a strong financial foundation is crucial to provide a safety net against unforeseen disasters and preventing debt traps.

Digital Desk: Financial well-being is the capacity to manage one's finances in a way that enables them to make decisions that allow them to live a fulfilling life while also fully satisfying their present and future financial commitments. One of the biggest lenders, the State Bank of India (SBI), has provided five bits of advice on its Twitter page to entice customers to prioritise their financial stability in 2023.

For a safety net against unanticipated catastrophes and to avoid debt traps, having a strong financial foundation is essential. Furthermore, it grants you autonomy, enabling you to avoid depending on others just when you need money the most.

These are the five suggestions provided by the State Bank of India:

1. Do not overspend on wants – If you indulge in excessive spending, your budget will always suffer. Financial experts advise staying within your budget and preventing major debt accumulation if you want to live a financially healthy life. Spending too much money can prevent you from reaching your financial goals.

2. Create a contingency fund. Experts recommend that the emergency fund contain enough cash to cover operating costs for at least six months. Start moving your savings funds into a fresh, separate account.

3. Begin saving for retirement - You might want to set aside 10 to 15% of your salary.

4. Invest in tax-saving funds and SIPs as they provide high investment returns, SIPs are among the finest tax-saving strategies. You can deduct up to Rs. 1.5 lakh from your taxable income if you invest in ELSS through SIPs. 

5. By promptly paying EMIs and credit card bills, you can raise your credit score.
