A Letter to All You Freelancers out There

Dear Freelancer,

This blog is dedicated to you. Hats off to you! You are living your dream and charting the course of your own destiny. However, we know that it’s not easy. There is pressure to consistently drum up work to make sure that you have a steady flow of income. The struggle is real and we feel your pain!

How can you reduce your stress levels and bring some stability to your money situation? Save, save and save some more. Now we realize that this is easier said than done – and that’s where Wizely, has your back!

There will be good months and bad months. But the key is to build some sort of nest egg that will tide you over in the bad months. Increasing the amount you save in the good months will give you stability during the lean periods.

Here is how Wizely can be the perfect partner to help you on your financial journey.

Consider Wizely to be your digital money manager or your financial personal trainer who will be working in unison with you to help you reach your goals without judging you. Wizely will motivate you when you slack and encourage you to reach your milestones.

You can also enjoy multiple benefits based on your saving achievements like scratch cards and Extra Value!

Here are some overall tips to ensure that you are on the right path when it comes to all things money and saving related:

1. Set a Budget

It is important to understand what your monthly expenses are and how you can cut back. Some expenses will be fixed whilst others maybe discretionary. Trying to maintain a balanced lifestyle when there is no fixed income is a challenge and this can only be done by cutting back and being conscious of every penny that you spend.

2. Resist the Urge to Splurge During Good Months and Instead Increase the Percentage That You Save

We all work hard for our money and the temptation always exists to go out and splurge. However, try and save for a rainy day and use all the extra money during the good months to bulk up your nest egg.

3. Plan in Advance for Your Big Purchases

Sometimes we need to make big-ticket purchases. Cash flow can get seriously impacted if we don’t plan in advance how we are going to fund these big-ticket items. On the Wizely app, you can start saving by creating a specific goal – e.g planning a holiday or buying a new fridge. This gives you the motivation to keep at it even when you feel you can’t.

4. Be Diligent About Taxes

Have a good chartered accountant and ensure that your books are always in order. This will ensure that at the end of the financial year, you are not overwhelmed.

We hope these tips are helpful when it comes to getting your financial ducks in a row. With a little tenacity and perseverance, you can definitely do it. We are here with you, every step of the way!

Your friend,
Wizely :)

What is SIP? How Systematic Investment Plan Works?

SIP stands for a systematic investment plan. This is a system that allows investors to invest regularly in a scheme automatically or by themselves. This system will enable them to invest small amounts, which eventually add up in the long run and prove to be extremely useful. Another considerable advantage of this system is that it helps reduce the burden of market volatility through dollar-cost averaging. Since you are investing on a particular day each month, you are likely to get an average purchase price for the asset you bought at the end of the year. Example Let us suppose that you are in a job and earn a salary of Rs. 50,000/- per month. You are looking to invest in mutual funds and can afford to invest about Rs. 10,000/- every month. In such a scenario, you can opt for a SIP plan in your desired mutual fund. This will do that. Rs. 10,000/- will be invested on a particular day of each month in the mutual fund of your choice at the rate at which it would be trading on that
