1. Make the most of your plastic money- with the increasing use of plastic money the credit and debit card industry has flourishes. Debit cards when compared to your credit cards are safer, as the former will keep a check on your spending because of the instant debt from your account, but it is different with the credit cards. When your credit card not use wisely it will affect your financial position enormously. When you use your credit card to make a purchase and you receive the bill the following month of your purchase, you only have to pay a small amount of the due but remember you have to pay the huge interest on the difference at a rate of 3% per month. The interest just keeps accumulating. Therefore if you are making a purchase using your credit card then it is better you pay the entire outstanding amount and not the minimum that is mentioned on your monthly credit card bill. You do not have to worry using your credit card if you pay the whole outstanding amount as soon as possible.

This amount if invested in fixed deposits will give you double the interest and your money is safe too. if you want liquidity then invest your money in liquid plus mutual funds.
