Ans: Hi Ram,

Your name is more than any ordinary name... Even Lord Ram went through several perils... Actually 14 yrs in the wilderness.

Now compare with you Ram,your troubles much smaller ...!?

Let's understand why people fail interviews....mostly lack of confidence, of not being able to present yourself properly.

There should be a clear action plan before you attend an interview.
You must look presentable.
You must be confident during the interview.
Ensure your knowledge & language skills are good, to get you the job.

Now let's chart your career path.
Where were you earlier,where are you now, where do you want to be

Design a good resume not more than 2 pages and post it in competitor companies of the domain you have experience.
Lo and behold the job will be yours!?

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist

Ans: Hello;

The value of your current income as after 14 years will be 1.36 L considering 6% inflation over 14 years by the time you are 60 years of age.

If you feel that your expenses may be reduced then and you would need say 70% of the income after 60 age so 70% of 1.36 L gives us a monthly income requirement of around 95 K.

To achieve this target I recommend you to start a monthly sip of 25 K into a combination of pure equity type mutual funds.

You need to top-up the sip amount by minimum 10% each year.

Also I would suggest you not to dabble in direct stocks and reinvest the 60 K sum lumpsum into above referred type of mutual funds.

The sip corpus will grow into a sum of around 1.96 Cr. The lumpsum invested will grow into a sum of around 4 L after 14 years considering a modest return of 13%.

Therefore your comprehensive corpus will be 2 Cr.

If you buy an immediate annuity from an insurance company for your corpus then considering annuity rate of 5.75% you can expect to receive monthly payout of around 95 K.

For your son's education funding you may utilise EPF corpus or seek an education loan.

Happy Investing!!
