My vegetable vendor happily accepts payments via UPI and other wallets but the POST OFFICE doesn’t! 😓 So many good schemes offered by PO are not available via a seamless online platform🤐 Plus the rigidity about the branch where a/c was opened🙄. This must change!

don’t wait for the perfect time, the right salary or wrapping up other responsibilities to get started with investing start, even if it’s ₹1,000 / month a single drop of water from a tap at a time can fill a bucket #investing #personalfinance

Along with #equity investing, it is important to build a #fixedincome portfolio (may sound boring) right from the beginning. 1️⃣Contingency fund is a non-negotiable—start building it! Do a SIP into a liquid fund. Don’t use it for any purchases! Should be 12X of monthly expenses.

start at 25 years, invest ₹10K/mth, keep ⬆️ by ₹1K/mth each year… a corpus of ₹2 Cr will be ready when you’re 45 STOP investing and leave it to grow 🌳, it will turn into ₹9.5 Cr by the time you turn 60, assuming 11% CAGR this can reduce pressure towards retirement years
