5 Best Ways to Start Saving Your Money

In the world of cut-throat competition and rising inflation, the quote “Money saved is money earned” fits best to our fast-paced uncertain lives. Human life is unpredictable; we never know what situation may come before us requiring huge financial expenditure. In such a scenario, our savings acts as the only “lifeboat” that let us cross the storms of life without facing a huge financial setback. It is a common mindset of people to consider saving, a burden or a restrictive action that involves cutting down on daily expenses. However, this is not the right approach to get going. Maintaining a budget does not necessarily involve quitting on expenses altogether.

Dropbox Drops Valuation by $2.5 Bn Ahead of IPO

Dropbox, the file storage company, set proposed terms for its initial public offering.
