With a ₹20,000 monthly salary, you have more flexibility than with a lower income, allowing you to focus on both saving and initial investments. The goal is to build an emergency fund and start growing your wealth.

Advanced Saving Tips:

• **The 50/30/20 Rule:** Aim to allocate 50% to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings and debt repayment. Adjust as per your specific situation.
• **Build an Emergency Fund:** Prioritize saving 3-6 months' worth of essential expenses in a separate, easily accessible account.
• **Start Small Investments:** Once your emergency fund is stable, consider investing in low-cost index funds or mutual funds through SIPs. You can learn more about mutual funds and investment regulations from the SEBI website. For information on mutual funds, refer to AMFI India.
• **Review Subscriptions:** Cancel unused subscriptions and memberships.
• **Negotiate Bills:** Don't hesitate to call service providers (internet, mobile) to negotiate better rates. For general market trends and financial news, Moneycontrol and BSE India can provide valuable insights.

By being mindful of your spending and consistently putting money aside, you can significantly boost your savings.
