Career

Sir I'm 28(m), I have no degree. After 12th I quit my studies and worked in very small jobs from (2014-2023) which are not useful as experience. Now in 2024 I want to join btech at 28 years. As I can afford it with savings. Is it a good idea to start education again and graduate at 32.i'm confident I can complete the degree but Will I be able to get any job at 32 as fresher. I can't show experience for those 10 years because I worked in physical labour jobs which won't have any proofs.or should I just continue working in small jobs and grow in those jobs. Pls help me I'm interested in software field

Ans: Hello Sai, Good to learn about your motivation to puruse a career in software after obtaining a BTech degree. I hope you have brushed up your school leaving level mathematics. For me to get you speciific details do sahre the name of the city where you are located. Many States will permit you to enrol for an engineering degree program as an exception even though you may not be eligible for a Joint Engineering Entrance Exam. Looking forward to hearing for you soon.

Money
Sir, in how many years , I can turn 1crore to 20 crore.So that I can retire.Im investing about 1.35lakh as sip every month . Im 44 now . I have about 60 lakh iin different funds now, im hoping to reach a crore 2026.Thanks in advance.
Ans: To achieve a corpus of Rs 20 crore with your current financial inputs, let's break it down step by step:

Your Current Investments and SIP Plan
Current Investment: Rs 60 lakh (expected to grow to Rs 1 crore by 2026).
Monthly SIP Contribution: Rs 1.35 lakh.
Expected Rate of Return: 12% annually.
Timeframe to Reach Rs 20 Crore
With a starting corpus of Rs 1 crore (by 2026) and continuing a SIP of Rs 1.35 lakh monthly at 12%, it will take 23 years to grow to Rs 20 crore.
By the time you turn 67 years old, your desired retirement corpus can be achieved.


Key Assumptions
The 12% return assumption is realistic for equity-heavy portfolios. However, past performance is no guarantee for the future.
The SIP contributions should continue consistently without interruption for the given timeframe.
Inflation and changing lifestyle expenses are not considered here.

Points to Consider
Diversify Your Investments: Ensure your portfolio includes a mix of equity and debt. Adjust allocations as you approach retirement to reduce risk.

Monitor Progress Regularly: Periodically review your investments and returns. Rebalancing may be necessary to stay aligned with your goal.

Increase SIP Contributions Gradually: With rising income, consider increasing your SIPs by 5-10% annually to reduce the timeframe.

Emergency Fund and Insurance: Ensure you have a robust emergency fund and sufficient term insurance to secure your family.

High-Level Suggestion
We can fine-tune the investment strategy and assess the risks involved in detail.
