There’s a new BBQ in town and it’s chocolatey! Say hello to this fusion dish and don’t knock it till you try it.

Savoury Chocolate Barbecue

This new dish is no doubt a western creation because a desi person would never be this ruthless. The person who created this recipe is one brave person for sure whose mind knows no limits. The dish essentially has two components.

Firstly, a smooth and spicy chicken cooked to perfection. Secondly, a rich sauce made with dark chocolate, cumin, cider vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of coffee. The key is dark chocolate, not milk because it has a strong taste that is not sweet.

Are you brave enough to try it?

How To Make It?

The original recipe is based on cooking the sauce as well as the chicken with alcohol. However, hold tight as we guide you on how to make it otherwise. Firstly, make sure to use high-quality chicken with a little broth for the softest chicken.

Moreover, season the chicken liberally before baking for a crispy, flavourful skin. For the sauce, essentially add some melted dark chocolate and coffee to an original barbecue sauce mix. Fresh minced garlic will only add to its flavour depth.

When you brush the chicken with the sauce, make sure to let it remain in the oven for 10 minutes. This will let the flavour soak into the chicken and become more homogenized.

Should One Try It?

This combination may seem very radical but take it from the experts, the flavour is not too jarring. The flavour is similar to your traditional barbecue sauce. However, this sauce just has another dimension to it.

The taste is said to give the sauce a smooth, deep flavour that balances the tanginess of the barbecue.

Quarantine Shenanigans

If you’re quarantining or finding nothing to do because of the lockdowns, this is the best thing to take up. What’s the worst that can happen? You won’t like the taste? That’s okay because while making it and even after, you will have fun memories to cherish. That’s what keeps one going through hard times.

In the best-case scenario, maybe you will like the flavour and will have a new favourite dish. That’s what experimentation is all about which is why you must get behind it. Get your chef hats on and prepare for a ride or die experience.

Mcdonald’s Pakistan Gifted Employees A Trip To The Northern Areas

Feb 11, 2022

Remember when you were in school, you used to get certificates and rewards for getting good grades or for winning races on sports day? Remember that feeling? Even just a star on our assignment would make us feel happy and excited and would act as an incentive to do better in our next assignment. For some reason, the element of appreciation only lasted till the academic level and once we stepped into the corporate world, things changed. Quite often employees get disheartened or lack motivation and one of the main reasons behind it is the lack of recognition. Very few companies understand the importance of rewarding their employees for their hard work and one of the companies that recently went an extra mile for their employees is McDonald’s Pakistan.

McDonald’s Pakistan recently organized the perfect getaway to the Northern Areas for their employees to celebrate their hard work and success despite the year being tough on the restaurant industry.“Restaurant Manager’s Convention” took place where McDonald’s gave rewards to their respective employees and appreciated how each one of them contributed in making the year 2021 a success. After recognizing the employees’ efforts, McDonald’s Pakistan gifted the team with a trip to the northern areas where they got a chance to blow off some steam and celebrate a well-deserved break. Needless to say, the employees loved the escape and were seen to be enjoying the beautiful snow of the northern areas.

Companies need to understand the importance of employee recognition and its impact on the team’s morale, motivation, and in turn on their performance. As Doug Conant, Fmr. President and CEO of the Campbell Soup Company said, “To win in the marketplace you must first win in the workplace.” We hope more companies take such initiatives for their employees because a happy employee means higher productivity which in turn makes this a win-win case. So to all the companies out there, what’s stopping you?

Aamir Liaquat Reveals Controversial Details About His Third Marriage

Feb 11, 2022

Aamir Liaquat's Third Marriage Has Left The Internet In Disbelief — Image Source: Instagram

Aamir Liaquat’s latest wedding and divorces new simultaneously has the internet in a frenzy. Many people wrote that they slept after hearing that he got divorced and they woke up to hear he’s married (again). Moreover, memes on the ridiculous age gap between him and his wives are increasing by the minute.

Now, the man in the spotlight has given a controversial interview, and here’s why you need to know about it:

Interview With Nadir Ali

The interview precisely captures Aamir Liaquat’s personality: he posits himself as someone very religious yet in the name of religion he is only cheap publicity. The man who keeps marrying again and again in the name of Sunnah openly talks about his “suhaag raat”. Yes, he actually did that.

Nadir Ali asked him about his wedding events and sneaked in the question desi people can not get enough of. Aamir Liaquat also answered it with just as much shamelessness. Apparently, people just don’t leave their room!

A Wife Who Loved You Since Her Childhood

Dania Shah, who is supposedly 18, says with all seriousness in the interview that she loved him since her childhood. We knew the age gap was bad but Shah really roasted her husband. She used to see him on TV and has loved him since then.

People usually say “may everyone get this kind of love” when they usually hear wild love stories. However, we have to say, may no one get this kind of love!

Rating His Wives

Nadir Ali was sure to ask the worst questions so he can get all the views and what can we say? He was successful. He asks Aamir Liaquat to give an honest response to his question: “Who is the prettiest of them all?” Without even thinking for a moment he says, “Dania.” If we had any doubts about whether he has any remorse for two failed marriages before, it’s gone now.

He does not. Who calls his ex-wives (plural) less pretty than his new one on national television?

The Edhi Husband

Aamir Liaquat would also like your sympathies after he tells you what all he has given to his wives in monetary terms. Bushra, the first wife, had a BMW in Dubai, has an 8 crore home, and also gets rent from a 2 crore home. Tuba also still gets the monthly expenses of the home.

Children are being studied on the money of their father. This is the second side of the story. According to you, is his behavior towards them justified over this?

Imagine the world today when it comes to cars: there’s Tesla, there are rumors of flying cars and hybrid cars have also taken precedence. However, Pakistani Suzuki is in an entirely different race. A race that goes back a few decades at least. Learn about the update that will make you happier than anything else if you’ve ever sat inside a Bolan in the summers.

What Has Suzuki Bolan Been Struggling With?

Suzuki Bolan, in Pakistan, has been struggling with introducing a model with an AC. The 43-year-old car is a Pakistani symbol and has been in the family of almost everyone in the 80s or 90s.

The 2022 Update

Thus, in good spirit and in good time, an update is here. The 2022 model will be re-introduced with an air-conditioner. The new Bolan VXL is said to be identical to its previous versions except it will not make you want to jump out now. Moreover, it also comes with a few new stickers!

The new and cooled Bolan’s newly-installed AC controls are something Pakistanis were missing. It really is true when we say there’s no car quite like Bolan. It angrily and very persistently holds on to the old age charm.

The Price

Let’s not underestimate Bolan this much though. It did get AC before but it was discontinued. The Bolan introduced many years ago (7th generation Suzuki Carry high roof) had two versions. It had an AC and a non-AC version but Pak Suzuki discontinued the AC variant.

This time around, the AC variant is here to say. Reports suggest that Suzuki Bolan VXL is on its way to dealerships but no announcement has been made on its price yet. The price is expected to have increased a lot due to the AC update. As of now, the Suzuki Bolan costs Rs. 1.18 million. On the other hand, the Cargo model costs Rs. 1.165 million. Worth the price or not, this marks a special day in the life of humankind.

[London: 11^th February 2022] Mian Mohammad Mansha, Chairman Nishat Group, attended the British Asian Trust’s Annual Reception & Dinner on Wednesday with His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The British Asian Trust’s Annual Reception and Dinner at the British Museum was held to celebrate the organisation’s many accomplishments over the past year and help raise funds to support COVID-19 recovery across South Asia. Mian Mansha was recently appointed by the British Asian Trust as the Chair of their Advisory Council in Pakistan.

Other notable guests at the event included The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Rt Hon Priti Patel, Home Secretary, The Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and Adar and Natasha Poonawalla, heads of the Serum Institute of India and long-term supporters of the Trust.

On the occasion, Mian Mohammad Mansha said, “I am honoured to have met His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall at the British Asian Trust’s Annual Reception and Dinner at the British Museum. The British Asian Trust’s fundraising efforts to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice in South Asian countries such as Pakistan is highly commendable and quite a feat in the current COVID-19 environment. I am grateful to the Royal Couple and the British Asian Trust for their kind hospitality and generosity. Having just learnt of his health, I also take this opportunity to wish His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales a swift recovery from COVID-19”.

The British Asian Trust was founded in 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales and British Asian business leaders to tackle widespread poverty, inequality and injustice in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Over the last year, the British Asian Trust raised over £10 million for its post-COVID recovery efforts. It secured £2 million of matched funding from the UK government for the Trust’s Women’s Economic Empowerment programme, which will enable nearly 10,000 Pakistani women to find a job or start a business in a post-COVID world.

Mr. Mansha is a committed philanthropist and provides support to a number of causes in healthcare, women’s education, sustainable tourism, sports, poverty alleviation and social uplift. He has provided financial assistance and support to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Children’s Hospital & The Institute of Child Health in Lahore and Saleem Memorial Trust Hospital amongst others on a personal as well as corporate level.

Whatsapp is an application that is used by the majority of smartphone users. It is highly useful for contacting people and chatting with your friends. The application also allows users to make video calls and regular phone calls. It is a good way to keep in touch with everyone. Even if you are not an avid user of social media, you might still use Whatsapp.

However, it can be quite inconvenient to have yourself added to an unknown Whatsapp group. You may be someone who prefers to just talk with friends about their days and make plans in the family groups. Despite you needing privacy, strangers can still add you to unknown groups.

Whatsapp Tip On Groups

The groups that we are talking about can have any kind of content on them. Maybe you don’t want to see the text and images that are being sent in those groups. Additionally, there are groups that act like spam to many users and your phone does not stop buzzing from notifications. However, there is a way to make sure strangers don’t add you to such groups without permission.

There are a few simple steps that you need to follow. They are not too complex and are specifically for Android users. Yes, we are focused on the android version of Whatsapp for now. All you have to do is:

Press the three vertical dots on the top right corner to open settings
Enter into Account settings -> Privacy
Next, select the ‘Groups’ option. Check your privacy settings on the group; it will be on ‘Everyone’ by default
Change that to ‘My contacts’ or ‘My contacts Except’

Making Life Easier

If you know of any contact that often does this, you can add their name to the exceptions. After that, no one outside of your contacts will be able to add you to any groups. If they have to, they will have to send you an invite link. You have the choice to use that invite link to enter the group or ignore it.

This is one of the ways, one can make their life easier on Whatsapp. The next time you open the application, do check if you have made this little change. It can save you a lot of hassle and time.

Manicures have become all too expensive nowadays. Plus, when you’re working from home pretty much all the time, what is the point of spending that much money? If you’re a nail polish junkie, these hacks will make you the happiest person ever. Try them now and have the best nails of your life.

1. Vaseline Layer

If you’re not a professional, no big deal. We never could colour inside the lines also. To make sure your mistakes are easy to remove after, rub vaseline on the skin around your cuticles. This way, once you’re done applying nail polish, you can easily take the rest of it off.

2. Use Stationary For Art

One of the best hacks for nail polish applications is using paper hole punch stickers for nail art (available on Daraz). Simply place the sticker at the bottom of the nail or on top and put the nail polish around it. Makes for a cute look!

3. Use Tape For Sharp Lines

Using clear tape can also help you achieve sharp lines for your nail art fantasies. Cut the tape out in the design you like and put it on your nail. Thereafter, when you paint your nails, the design will look immaculate.

4. French Tips With Rubber Bands

Ger a rubber band and hold it stretched with two fingers. Make sure it’s placed in such a way that only the tiny edge of your nail is showing. In that position, ask someone to or do it yourself – paint with another colour of your choice. It’ll give you easy french tips.

5. White Nail Polish As Base Coat

Darker nail polishes are opaque enough. However, what about when you want to opt for lighter colours that are not as opaque? Often, the colour of your nail changes how the nail polish look. To avoid that, simply add a base layer of white nail polish.

6. Create A New Nailpolish With Eyeshadow

If you can never find the exact shade you like, here’s a hack to make it yourself. You have eyeshadows you don’t use lying around, that’s all you need. Simply break one down in a spoon to the ultimate powder form and then mix it with clear nail polish. It’ll give you your very own shade.

7. Make The Tips Last Longer

Have you ever noticed how when nail polish starts to get chipped, it does so from the tips? You can avoid this by doing two layers of base coat. One half for the tip, one entire coat and then your nail polish coats.

1. Swordigo

This is one of the mobile games that have side-scroller gameplay. It is a platformer that guides the player through numerous levels. As a warrior, you wield a sword and must navigate through different paths and narratives. The music and gameplay have a vibe of the first ‘Prince of Persia’ game so you can expect to shed a tear or two.

2. Tiny Gladiators 2

This is a game that has a similar feel to ‘Shadow fighting’. However, this game is focused on a vibrant world filled with quests to do. You are a gladiator, who is pitted against various opponents throughout the game. It is a one-on-one fighting game with historic vibes. Russel Crowe would be proud!

3. Neo Monsters

While it may not have the best storyline, it certainly brings back a lot of memories from older games. This is certainly an underrated game that belongs on this list. You take the wheel in the form of a warrior who has an arsenal of monsters. Play for hours in this turn-based ‘Pokemon’ themed game. It even has a PvP mode!

4. Ninja Arashi 2

The story of this game follows from the first one. However, this one can be played on its own too. You are, once again, set in the footsteps of the Ninja as you fight to save his son. The atmosphere of the game is similar to the first one, with added difficulty in levels. Additionally, the gameplay feels more immersive.

5. Dicast: Rules Of Chaos

If you are a fan of dice and board games as well as card ones, you will love this game. It is a combination of all of them alongside action sequences too. You can pay by yourself or against an entire community of players. However, this remains as of the most underrated mobile games of today. Do check it out!

6. Blade Master

You are an eternal spinning blade in this one. You must navigate through blocks and blocks of points and ravage through them. Apart from that, you earn coins as you do so and progress in each of the levels. It is definitely a fun and underrated game if you are looking to kill some time so check it out.

7. Card Thief

This is a simple yet engaging game. It draws its rules and gameplay from solitaire. However, this game has a more fun-filled vibe and RPG elements. You play as a thief in the card. One must steal the treasure and make it to victory, whilst avoiding a deck of obstacles so make clever moves.

8. That Level Again

This is a game that certainly tests your logical skills. It puts you at the feet of a protagonist who must save his wife from danger. The game is simple, it has just one level. However, elements of that same level are altered every time you clear it. It is definitely full of fun and is one of the most underrated mobile games. Oh, and it has two sequels so keep yourself prepared.

9. Soul Knight

This mobile game puts you in the driving seat of a knight. However, the addition is that they can wield guns and other weapons. Try out this area-based PvE game that has quite a player base. However, compared to other games in this league, it is quite underrated. There is a lot to do so you will no get bored.

10. Bullet Echo

One may not be able to praise this game as much as it actually deserves. It is a top-down game with battle royale elements. You are released in an arena with teammates and you must hunt down the other players. You are given drops of ammunition and health all over the map. There is a huge weapon collection and character selection to choose from. You must navigate the map using a flashlight and listening to player footsteps.

Pickled Ice Cream – Is It As Strange As It Sounds?

Ice Cream is love. You are sad? Let’s have ice cream. You are happy? Let’s have ice cream. But pickles are something different. You add them when you want to savour a dish. Now, what if you brought the two things together? You will get pickled ice cream.

Right? Wouldn’t this how you would react?

Stranger Foods

But it seems that this combination is not as uncommon as you would assume it to be. It exists and people do try it, sometimes for fun.

does pickle ice cream exist?

— marseph ➐ (@M4RSEPH) May 24, 2021

Sane people like us, however, do exist who suggest this weird combo as a taunt and not an actual thing.

Its on the pregnant ladies’ menu

But not everyone who craves this strange food is crazy. Sometimes, they are just pregnant. And the cravings of a pregnant lady, one must not judge. That said, would it be okay to judge one’s pregnancy status if they ask for a pickled ice cream?

I ate ice cream and a pickle for a snack and my boyfriend like “you pregnant” 😂

— 𝓝𝓮𝓲𝓬𝔂 💋 (@MyPrettyBlackAs) May 25, 2021

On being told to write about it, at first, I made the face like the gif above. On the other hand, I was intrigued as well. So I took it up. As I researched more about the pickled ice cream, it became clear that it is just that majority people don’t eat this flavour. For those who do, though, some companies have even introduced it as a flavour.

Food Bloggers test it

Food bloggers go around tasting them because strange food combinations are eye-catchy. Reading up on their reviews, it does seem one would not hate it were they to try it. In fact, it is only those (including me) who haven’t tried it who express disgust. Almost everyone who ate it has converted to team pickled ice cream.

Seeing the rising tide in favour of the flavour, I will pass the decree of it being not strange. But will I try it? Not so much. Because I am a staunch believer of ‘Joey Doesn’t ~~Share~~ Mess With Food!”

Ice cream is supposed to be sweet!

“Hope is what keeps the world going but anticipation is what makes things exciting”

Ever since a picture leaked of a new Suzuki swift being transported on top of a carrier, swift enthusiasts and car owners, in general, have been brimming with excitement and anticipation. The leaked picture confirms that the car has been in local production and will most likely be opening for booking next month, as some unofficial sources had earlier pointed out.

Fans and potential car buyers alike have a lot of questions, and rightfully so. After all, the new swift looks like a major upgrade from the previous versions. The audaciously sporty and modern sleek look surely has all of us wondering what the car will be like in terms of other features.

Things such as safety features, the level of utility, features, colors, engine capacity, price, etc.

So we did some digging and examined the global variant of Suzuki 3^rd generation to try and answer some of these questions.

Let’s start with the exterior which already seems to be a hit on social media. It really does break the monotony that we experience in the hatchback designs and introduces something immediately distinctive with its sporty look, bold curves and as some on social media have called, “good looks” and “aesthetical appeal”. As for the colors, the swift is known for its quirky colors in the global market, so we’re definitely expecting a version of red, maybe even a blue to be introduced alongside the more traditional colors.

Apparently, though, this one has a lot more to it than just good looks. The engine is a one of its kind 1.2L petrol engine which will essentially carve out a new category of its own in the hatchback segment. The 3^rd generation swift, we can safely assume, is going to be equally powerful but more fuel-efficient than its predecessor.

As for the interior, there seems to be a lot of upgrades in that area as well as can be seen from the global variant. Overall, it sports a clean but futuristic design with its dark tone, wide LED (we’re assuming an advanced infotainment system), and sleek, circular air vents. Just below, there are what look like analog volume and Ac control dials but with digital interfaces on them, which is pretty impressive and makes it look high-tech and futuristic. Then there is that beautiful D-shaped steering which adds that sporty look and feel.

On the utility end, this one comes equipped with cruise control (yes, cruise control in a hatchback), steering controls, a climate control feature, a push start, and 6 airbags among other features. Let’s see how much of all this is retained into the locally produced variant. Although 6 airbags and cruise control are a big ask, we have our fingers are crossed.

Finally, it winds down to the question of price and many are speculating what that will be. Although there is no official word from Suzuki Pakistan yet, our bet is it will be definitely upwards of 2.6 million. But a lot depends on the ongoing vehicle prices situation across the industry and how it pans out in near future. Let’s wait till the booking opens sometime in February 2022.

The cloud services will be delivered from Jazz’s data center in Lahore and Jazz Digital Park, Pakistan’s largest TIA Rated-3 certified data center established with an investment of US$ 8 million.

“Business innovation, today, requires powerful technology solutions,” said Syed Ali Naseer, Chief Business Officer, Jazz. “Garaj will enable a secure and affordable cloud experience as more businesses and government seek digitalization to capture efficiencies and reinvent their customer experience.

Through Garaj, companies can forego these additional expenses, and utilize the pay-as-you-grow pricing model, customizing and scaling plans according to their growing needs.

Samsung Has An Exciting Announcement Regarding Android OS Upgrades

Samsung Has An Exciting Announcement Regarding Android OS Upgrades — Image Source: Business Insider

Samsung has been getting better and better when it comes to Android update support, often beating Google’s own Pixel phones on speed and longevity. Now, Samsung has announced that it will offer four years of major Android updates on the Galaxy S22 and some other recent releases.

The Software Update Details

The company has promised the whole S22 and Tab S8 families will receive “up to four generations” of Android OS updates, not just security patches, as announced last year. S21, Z Fold 3, and Z Flip 3 owners are eligible, too. The exact number of upgrades will depend on the combination of model and market, but this could mean the S22 you buy now will remain current by early 2026.

The expansion gives Samsung one of the longest update policies among Android manufacturers. Even Google is only promising three years of Android version updates for the Pixel 6 series, with security updates lasting five years. While this won’t match Apple’s update policy (typically five to six years of OS upgrades), it could give you a reason to pick the S22 if you either prefer Android or upgrade relatively frequently. You might not have to worry about falling behind during your phone’s practical lifespan.

Samsung devices eligible for four years of Android updates

Samsung Galaxy S22
Samsung Galaxy S22+
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S21
Samsung Galaxy S21+
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3

Such incredible software support has been unheard of for Android devices. Samsung is putting its flagship devices and even mid-ranges in a class of their own. Customers will certainly appreciate the promise of enhanced support

The Course

The EV course will be split into subtopics, designed to impart a holistic understanding of the latest cutting-edge EV technology at par with global industry standards. It will also provide an opportunity for the students to get hands-on practical expertise in EV technologies as well.

“As the automotive industry is witnessing a demand for EV-trained workforce, this module will provide our students with an edge over competition and create good career opportunities.” Said MKSSS Secretary PVS Shastry.

The continued association with MKSSS, Pune is a testament to the company’s commitment. Meanwhile, promoting a culture of diversity that offers equal opportunities to young aspirants to excel in the field of automotive mechatronics.

This Pakistani Drama Clip Shaming ‘Curly Hair’ Is Appalling

Pakistani dramas surely are a gift that keeps on giving. We have covered the toxic stereotypes, problematic scenes, and horrible hero standards but this latest scene has even shocked us! While the world continues to fight against terrible beauty standards, we’re taking a step back. Hear what the latest fiasco is all about here:

Noor Khan’s Latest Drama

Noor Khan, Sarah Khan’s sister, is making her debut in new dramas and surely rising to fame. One of the most recent characters she’s played is surely a sad one and one that we want to not see more of. Sarah Khan becomes the wife with “ugly hair” in the drama ‘Main Aisi Kyun Hun‘. Yes, let that sink in! The actress naturally has curly and poofy hair that is as beautiful as any other type of hair.

As if our national obsession with ‘fair complexion’ wasn’t enough , we are now shaming women on ‘curly hair’.

What is this content ???? pic.twitter.com/mlHFekk99z

However, her husband in the drama is criticising her for them. According to him, they are “ugly hair” which makes her “badsoorat”. Hence, he calls himself unfortunate in his life.

It Gets Worse

This scene also gets worse because the husband then also insults his daughter. Imagine calling a young girl ugly simply because she has been born with curly hair. It is simply appalling. The guy is “ashamed” for being the husband and father of women who have curly hair.

There’s also a clip where the wife comes in front of him with open hair and he says, “Haven’t I asked you to tie your hair before you come in front of me?” These scenes have surely shocked us and have us at a loss for words.

Irresponsible Dialogues and Projections

The person who wrote the script for this song should definitely be interviewed. Was this a stunt to get attention? Surely, in today’s age, this was bound to attract negative attention. Perhaps for them, “all publicity is good publicity” is still applicable.

Imagine a little girl seeing this clip or even some really impressionable women. This will plant another seed of doubt: “Am I beautiful?”. Why should our hair type determine our beauty, especially because we can not control it in any way? This is just irresponsible “art” and the sooner it is condemned the better.

7 Reasons Why Saving Money Is Highly Important

7 Reasons Why Saving Money Is Highly Important — Image source: https://www.chiangraitimes.com/

Saving money is no more just about having money for the rainy days. It allows you to have a much wider perspective and allows you to build a certain lifestyle. While saving money might not be everyone’s best pursuit, it sure has its perks. It will give you financial security, stability, and freedom. Not to mention, it protects you during financial emergencies, helps you avoid debt, and reduces stress in emergencies.

Whether you are just starting a career or still juggling with your expenses, here is a list of why saving money is important in today’s era.

1. Steer Clear Of Emergencies

Having money saved up for emergencies can stop a bad situation from getting worse. An emergency fund gives you some cushion in times of need. It can prevent you from turning to credit cards or relying on high-interest loans. Getting through an emergency in good financial shape is a good reminder about the importance of saving. Aim to have six months of living expenses tucked away in your emergency fund, but try to put aside a good chunk as quickly as you can. You can work your way up to six months’ worth of expenses once you have that share put away.

2. Building Wealth

Saving money is the cornerstone of your wealth-building strategy. The basic formula for generating wealth looks like this: live below your means, avoid going into debt, and make smart investment choices. Simple. Here’s how saving money figures into that. By living below your means, you free up money to put toward savings. Avoiding debt allows you to put your money to work for you instead of paying interest to make someone else wealthy. You invest your savings regularly and wisely, so your money grows.

3. Reduced Stress

Not having any savings is stressful. Constant stress causes many health problems that can lead to untimely death. Stress leads to depression, weight gain, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other negative health consequences. You can ease financial stress and potential health problems by saving a percentage of every paycheck.

4. Minimizes Risk

Establishing an emergency fund lowers the risk of ending up broke or in debt. But when you’re not saving money, you’re taking on additional risks beyond not being financially prepared for an emergency.

5. Career Flexibility

Saving money gives you a little window for if you want to try something new or change careers altogether. Having enough money in your savings account allows you to experiment if you plan to leave a job or look for a new one.

6. Periodic Expenses

Sometimes you know well in advance that you have an important but infrequent expense coming due, like a tax bill. To make sure you have the money available when it’s due, save for it every month. If you’ll owe $800 in 10 months, save $80 per month toward the expense. Sometimes people forget about recurring costs. It’s easy to remember your rent is due since it’s a recurring fixed expense. But your car registration might slip your mind until the last minute since it’s only due once a year.

7. Do What You Love

Having money in savings also allows you to do what you love. It enables you to spend your money on things that make you happy. Savings accounts allow you to spend on what you want when you want. You can save up to pay for your passions when they arise.
