B.Tech Robotics and Artificial Intelligence: What's My Future Like in India and Abroad?

Ans: I offer you two scenarios:
1. Step up both SIP and lumpsum by 40% every year to reach your target of 1 Cr corpus, 10 years from now.

2. Step up your SIP and lumpsum by 15% every year to reach your target of 1 Cr corpus 15 years from now. (Modest return of 13% assumed)

Your sip break up is:
PPFAS flexicap fund (2 K)
MO Midcap fund (1.5 K)
Axis Small Cap (2.5 K)
ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund (1 K)

I suggest you to remove ICICI Pru Value Discovery Fund from your portfolio and add that 1 K sip into MO midcap fund.

Also I recommend you to migrate to Nippon India Small Cap Fund (2.5 K)

The lumpsum I would suggest you to invest in Quant ELSS tax saver fund and SBI Technology Opportunities Fund

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I don't know what pushed you to seek a relationship outside of your marriage; I am also not assuming that you have an open marriage- keeping that in mind, I don't see how you are not okay with the guy getting married. You are married, and you can never have a marital relationship with the guy. The relationship you share with him is not legitimate and it won't be unless you leave your husband. You didn't mention divorce, so I am assuming you don't plan to do so. Then why do you expect him to stick with you without any prospect of a future? Please consider what I said. I am sure you already know this, but it's time you come to terms with it.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Pankaj,

Please try to sit them down and have a logical conversation- I am sure you already did, but this time, point out all the positives of the relationship and ask them how can one overshadow all the good things about the relationship. See if that helps.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

It is totally up to you. But I would suggest waiting a few days till they get back to you with an answer. It might come off a bit pushy and in case the guy does not reciprocate the feeling, things might get awkward. So, even though there is no harm in sending a request now, it would be better for all parties involved, if you wait a little.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

If he is not sure about the relationship, maybe it's time you have a serious discussion with him. Ask him once and for all, what are his intentions. Don't let him turn this on you with "you will find better guys." If he says so, let him know that that's your concern, not his; ask him to clearly state his plans- does he want to take this relationship ahead and get married or is he confused? If he isn't sure about you, I don't see why you would want to stick to him still. I understand it isn't easy to leave someone you have loved for so long, but a long relationship does not equate to a healthy and happy one. Please think about your future, and understand your worth.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I can't make the decision for you, but it is important to prioritize your dreams as much as your relationship. Ask yourself, if you pursue your dreams and get married a little late, will that hurt anyone? Next, ask yourself, if you get married and have kids right away, will you ever be able to achieve your dreams again? Once you answer these questions honestly, I think you will know what to choose.

Best Wishes.
