Someone has rightly said that saving money is tougher than earning it. No wonder then you have experts writing books and doling out gyaan on television shows on how to save money. At the end of every financial year, people make a beeline for their CAs and consultants to help them file taxes. Those who don’t even know who the finance minister is start following the Budget closely. Is managing finances then a really big deal? Well, it does seem like it.
The Quint went out on the streets of Delhi to speak to youngsters about their financial tensions. Going by what we heard and saw, saving money from taxes was a pain point for a lot of them.
Watch the video for yourself to see what the youth have to say.
But what if we tell you that saving money from taxes is after all #NotSoTaxing. In fact, it’s simple. Yes, you are not dreaming, so please don’t ask anyone to pinch you.
