My suggestion.. make 5cr or 10cr… Then make systematic withdrawal.. 2 lakhs or 4 lakhs .. also retire early
Loan is Love
Love is asset
Asset is smart.
Never forget take loan with cheaper interest rate.
Honestly no need to add other small cap fund. Select good funds in each category and increase sip amount instead of increasing funds. Once you choose any fund give it some time to grow
Good job chandhu
Who is the editor in office or freelance?
No loans is biggest blessing these days.We are finally loan free.
I would suggest you to start a goal-based SIP for your child’s intermediate, graduation, and higher education. It helps you stay disciplined and ensures the money is used only for its intended purpose.
Personally, I’d avoid NPS and most government schemes since our IT careers don’t always have the same stability as government jobs.
Also, try to map each investment to a specific goal so you’re less tempted to use it for other expenses.
To keep things simple, you don’t really need a Nifty 50 index fund if you already have a flexi-cap fund, as it usually includes large-cap exposure. You could redirect that allocation into your flexi-cap fund instead. Funds like Parag Parikh Flexi Cap already offer some international diversification too.
A simple and effective portfolio could look like this:
• One Flexi Cap Fund
• One Mid Cap Fund
• One Small Cap Fund
• One Liquid Fund
• One Balanced Advantage Fund (for stability)
• One Arbitrage Fund (for short-term goals ~2 years with better tax efficiency)
Keep it simple, stay consistent, and align everything with your goals.
