Saving comes to Indians naturally. No matter how much we already have, we still like to save some bucks every now and then. And we can challenge people all around the world to beat us in the money-saving game. The techniques Indians use to save money can leave even the best of the economists in awe. We open-heartedly acknowledge our money saving ways and we just laugh it off. Some of the tricks are a borderline genius while the rest of them are purely hilarious. Let’s have some good laugh at the funny ways in which we Indians save money.
