By planning properly and keeping it simple. Here are some actionable steps that everyone can take without any problem. But remember, you must be disciplined. Omkeshwar Singh, Head- RankMF, Samco Group explains:

There are basically 3 ways to manage your finances:
 
1. No assets No liability: Whatever is income gets used in expenses. Hardly any Investments and therefore throughout life no meaningful Asset gets created. 
 
2. Some assets and more liabilities: There always remains a shortfall, and inadequate Investment, therefore throughout life it's EMI servicing and by retirement some Physical assets are available. 
 
3. More Assets and less or No Liabilities: High Investment and these Investments become source of 2nd Income as well as asset creation. Post retirement no dependency, complete Independence. Also wealth gets transferred to next generation.
 
To break free from 1 and 2 scenarios for financial Wellness, one must ensure that investors spend what remains after Investment and not the other way around.
