we all owe to a better life and for a better life proper planning need to be done,right from the beginning when we start earning ie from your first job.,because this is the time when money starts accumulating in your account from month to month and usually we don't have to do anything with your salary credited to your account except spending it in your families ,friends, or for yourself.

After that if if anything is left in your account it remains idle.There are few reason for this-

1.May be at that point of time you have not thought of any investment.
2.You just don;t know the procedure.
