Money can be used in several ways: saved, spent fully, or spent partially. The first thing one should do after receiving allowance or income is prepare a budget. Savings involve keeping money safely in a bank with interest, while investments carry risk but may yield higher returns. Common bank accounts include savings accounts, current accounts, fixed deposits, and recurring deposits, which can be managed online for convenience. ATM/debit cards allow access to bank accounts while credit cards offer a grace period before interest is charged.
