April 1 has already marked the beginning of a new financial year 2022-23 for all of us, and as it begins we must take note that we spend all our money judicously so we can always better our portfolio and use the money in case of emergencies. The beginning of a new financial year is the best time to get your financial plans in order, like planning your investments, getting good insurances and keeping a check on your monthly spends.
