Here are 7 personal finance trends every Indian should start following in 2025:



---


1. UPI AutoPay & Digital Budgeting


Gone are the days of notebooks. Apps like Fi Money, Jupiter, and CRED now offer UPI-based budgeting and auto-saving.


> Try this: Set monthly auto-savings of Rs. 500 via UPI AutoPay into a digital wallet or FD.

2. Micro-Investing is the New SIP


Apps like Kuvera, Groww, and Jar allow you to invest small amounts — even Rs. 10 daily — in mutual funds, gold, or stocks.


> It’s perfect for beginners who want to start investing without risk.

3. Credit Scores Matter More Than Ever


A good credit score (750+) helps you get cheaper loans, credit cards, and even job approvals.


> Tip: Use OneScore or CRED to check your score monthly — for free.

4. Financial Education on Instagram & YouTube


In 2025, learning finance isn’t boring. Influencers like Sharan Hegde (Finance With Sharan) and CA Rachana are making money fun on social media.


> Watch 1 short video a day = better money mindset!

5. Rise of Side Hustles & Passive Income


Students and professionals are starting blogs, YouTube channels, freelancing, and selling digital products to earn extra.


> Even Rs. 5,000/month side income = Rs. 60,000/year savings!

6. Health Insurance for Young Adults


After COVID, more young Indians are buying health insurance early, when premiums are cheaper.


> A Rs. 5 lakh cover can cost under Rs. 400/month if you start before age 25.

People now buy courses, eBooks, and templates to get better at budgeting, saving, and investing.
