11 things NOT to do with your money
1.Don't go on depositing your salary in your savings account Do you rush to the ATM and withdraw money regularly? Well, you cannot afford to be careless about withdrawals. While a savings bank account helps you meet your regular needs, it is important not to deposit all your earnings in the savings account. Excess money in savings account will always also tempt you to spend more money than you should ideally spend.
2. Don't manage money without a good plan A golden rule in investing is to have a good financial plan. Do not invest money only on the basis of what your friends or relatives say. You must identify your priorities and set realistic goals.
3. Don't invest all your money in the same plan No matter which investment plan you choose, you must not invest all your money in just one plan or in one bank. You must allocate your resources across various schemes, be it mutual funds, fixed deposits, stocks or small saving schemes.
4. Don't set high savings targets You must not go overboard on savings. You are the best judge of how much you can save and how much you can spend every month. There is no point in saving all your money and being sad about not having enough for your needs
5. Don't lose your focus on savings You may have invested your money across various investment options. Don't think that your job is over. In fact, you must keep a watch on interest rate changes and market fluctuations.
6. Don't lose your focus on savings You may have invested your money across various investment options. Don't think that your job is over. In fact, you must keep a watch on interest rate changes and market fluctuations.
7. Don't shop for unnecessary items You must learn not to give in to temptations while on a shopping trip. It is important to make a list of things you would need for the month and stick to the list. While it is good to indulge yourself once in a while, you must always be careful about spending money on impulsive buying.
8. Don't go for too many loans at the same timeBuy things one at a time so that you have enough money for yourself and to save and you are not too indebted.
9. Don't join any scheme without verifying the credentials There have been several cases of fraud, where innocent investors have been cheated by crooks posing as smart investors or advisors. They may lure you with all kinds of schemes of getting higher returns at the shortest possible time. Always cross-check facts and figures and their credentials before you invest in any plan.
10. Don't invest your money in risky plans While it is important not to keep stacking your money in a savings account, it is not important not to indulge in risky investment plans. You must start saving with smaller amounts and try to save more as you go along.
11. Don't forget the dates, plans
Most people are very bad at remembering dates of maturity of their fixed deposits, or savings schemes or dates of paying premium. Make sure you keep a diary of all the saving plans, their maturity dates and remember to either reinvest the money or go ahead with any plan that you have in mind when the plan matures.

thanks snowyowl for pointing...
6. Don't splurge more just because you got a hike
Most people have a habit of spending more and changing their lifestyle when they get a good hike or bonus. There is no harm in enjoying and have a good time. However, if you would like to save money, you must invest the additional amount to add to your savings.

Abe, when do you expect this will happen?
At this pint of time, with the value of Gulf currencies being lower, my advice would be to hold funds here in QR and deposit in a high yielding account like CBQ’s e-savings. Interest paid is quite decent at 5.9%. In case of much talked about snapping of USD peg happens, we will benefitted from the likely appreciation of QR.

Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand

After depositing - REMIT MAX. POSSIBLE AMOUNT FROM YOUR SAVING ACCOUNT BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY.
