Save from your passive income
In addition to your active source of income, if you have a passive source of income too, try to make the best use of the proceeds of the same so that it can help you when you are cash strapped in future. Your passive source of income can be from profits you earn by investing in any form of investment vehicle. It can be trading currencies in the forex market or trading stocks in the stock market.
