Relationship
I'm around 54 years married to a widow who had two kids around 14 years back. Her behaviour towards me most of the time is very rude. she doesnt keep anhy relation with my family members and always has a grudge on them without any reason, due to which i have no physical relation with her, just Im staying in the house. Now I have met a female who is married with two kids and working as a cleaning staff, her husband is useless and not working for the last four years and she is running her house with her salary. I have been meeting her for the last eight months and would like to continue the relation, even she is very much interested, but due to family constraints she is not able to come out of the married relation she has. I take care of her and her kids day to day needs. So how do I go ahead with is relation ? Im a bit confused
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are trying to search for a wife and a family in the other lady and her children; something that you are unable to find in your own home.
How much longer do you want to live two parallel lives? Decide whether you want to continue with your marriage and work at making it work...OR find solace with another lady and her family. 8 years is a long time BUT any relationship that comes out of a need ceases to exist when the need is over or gone. What will happen when this cleaning staff lady stops wanting your money or attention? Will you then jump into another relationship?
How you go ahead in this relationship is something only you will know. Someone is bound to get hurt...Also, you seem to definitely care about family. How will they react to all of this?
Consider a few important things before you jump to any conclusions...

All the best!

Relationship
Hello Anu, I am married for over 20 years. My wife has anger issues. Firstly, she gets annoyed with anything or everything. Secondly, she cannot control her anger. I had always taken a stand that I have to manage the marriage so what is the need of getting into confronting mode. Many a times, divorce crossed my mind but I could not gather the courage. Then tried to manage the situation by agreeing to everything and not sharing my opinions. I feel the home is like a prison. I feel uncomfortable when she is around me. I used to be a very social and jovial personality. Now people say I don't talk that much, the wittiness I had has vanished. I used to sing, record my own songs, take part in cultural events and activities. But now all gone. What ever I speak when we meet at family and friends get together, there is a complete postmortem of every sentence and intent. My elder son now says that I should keep my foot down. I am pushed to pass on all my salary to my wife's account and then have to ask her for any spends that I do. Over and above that every spend for her is un-necessary. I have multiple times tried to talk to her.. she says 'Whatever you say, I will not agree and you know that so don't waste your time in convincing me rather change yourself and do what I am saying'. It is becoming vicious and taking a toll on my energy. I feel like staying out of the house. But when around friends she behaves nicely.. Don't have answers. I want to take her to councellor so as we both can get advise. But she says, change yourself we will be happy. I am not going to change. I mean I am not asking her to change, but just be emphathatic. Am I asking for too much. I also agree that I may have flaws I am no perfect but no one is, why then am I looked upon to be a perfect person? V
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is a difficult situation to be around someone who has issues with anger and in this case it's your wife!
Anger is just a call or cry for help. Have you seen a child display anger and throw his/her toys around just to get their mother's attention?
Now, what is it that you wife lacks is something only you will know. She feels a certain lack in her life.
It could be lack of achievement, lack of self-worth, lack of a healthy self-esteem, lack of healthy nutrients in the body, lack of good quality sleep, lack of useful social environment.

I also believe what and who we surround ourselves with will define how our day goes and how our life will pan out. Now, because she fails to see the role of a counselor, you are forced to work at this on your own. So, start by trying to find out:
- what area of lack is she in?
- what triggers her anger episodes?
- how does she come out of these episodes?
- are the people/friends around her very different from her value systems?
- when was the last time she had a general check-up to see if all the health parameters are good?
- how actively has she pursued a career or a hobby?
- how many hours of sleep does she get?
- does she eat nutritious food that's meant for her age?

Since you are on your own with this, get deeper into this; I do agree your feelings are on the back-burner BUT till you sort this, it's going to haunt you. Sometimes the display of anger is much bigger that forces us to believe that the problem is a big one. It could just be a simple cause...Only when you try to identify it, will you know how and what it is.

All the best!

Hello sir/ma'am. Hope you are fine and doing well . I have heard it from many people that a boy falls in love quickly, his love blossoms quickly and then starts to wane. Whereas a girl falls in love slowly and her love always keeps increasing. But , in reality, I am seeing a very different picture Where many of my friends' girlfriends are getting bored of their boyfriends (my friends). In many cases they either broke up with them or cheated on them Both of them are different cases, aren't they. My question is that if a girl's love increase day by day then how can they get bored of their partners. Which one of them is true and if truth lies between them ,then please explain
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Why are you getting into the WHYs and WHATs and HOWs? This will be useful if you are researching this subject for your thesis. There is no rule or law that proves that girls are like this and boys are like that. The way LOVE happens is based on a situation, how much of compatibility exists between the couple, how much the values match and much more...If everything or almost all match, irrespective of being a boy or a girl, Love can blossom quickly.

When you see situations where cheating happens or someone falls out of love quickly, it only suggests that there was no love to begin with. It was something that satisfied them for that moment or a short while and when she/he gets bored, they will move onto another person.
Why you see more girls doing this is perhaps you are looking for cases to prove what you are thinking is right. It is not based on gender but on the reason why people/a couple get together. If the reason is beyond looks, money and other superficial things, it will last for a much longer time.
So, there's no truth or lies BUT the fact of WHAT builds love and trust between a couple that defines their being together or not.

All the best!

Madam i am 21 years old having a good post at central government as at erly age i got job and i joint it now i am 22 and having a boyfriend he is also central government officer and he is age 29 bu despite of the age gap the love bloomed and we are so in love with each other i told my family early tge condition and said that i want to marry him but my parents said after 25 we will ger u married but by sharing this at hone they are not having trust on mr and are being insecure and wants me to leave a government job and to come home because he is not from same caste and it will also be interstate marriage my family is having the fear of relatives and my mother us against of it they are saying intercaste marriage we will not support or accept continuously emotional blackmail to me trying to manipulate, brainwash me and abusing me emotionally verbally and physically. what should i do?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Inter-faith marriages are still a big NO NO in many homes and yours is not an exception. Like in many other cases, my suggestion has been that both sides must want to get to know the other person. Like your parents need to see a different side of your boyfriend to be willing to accept him.
What is it that he can bring in their daughter's life that will ease their concerns about his faith/religion?
So, your boyfriend must be willing to be patient and make efforts on his part to integrate into your family. It takes time, so be patient.
Now, for your job...do not confuse emotions and your job. Your parents feels that you might take drastic steps with your boyfriend and hence want you closer to home so that they can keep an eye on you. Address this concern by being mature and immersing yourself more into work that gives them the confidence that you are not about to do anything behind their back.
Addressing what bothers them is a better way out rather than trying to convince them...as the same issues will keep coming back if you force them to accept something. So, be patient and responsible for things to sort themselves out...

All the best!

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on Jul 01, 2024

Money
Hi Sir Good morning. can u pls suggest few good returns mutual funds to invest , as we are in need of approx one lakh per month so pls suggest how much funds are reuired to invest to withdraw one lakh PM, pls write name of all that mutual funds. Regards
Ans: Planning for a steady income through mutual fund investments is a smart move. You need approximately Rs. 1 lakh per month. Let's dive into how to achieve this.

Understanding Your Need
Firstly, it's essential to understand why you need this regular income. Is it for household expenses, retirement, or any other purpose? Knowing this will help tailor your investment strategy.

Types of Mutual Funds
There are different types of mutual funds to consider. Each has its own benefits and risks.

1. Equity Mutual Funds
Equity funds invest in stocks. They offer high returns but come with higher risk. They are good for long-term goals.

2. Debt Mutual Funds
Debt funds invest in bonds and securities. They provide stable returns with lower risk. Ideal for short to medium-term goals.

3. Hybrid Mutual Funds
Hybrid funds invest in both equity and debt. They balance risk and reward. Suitable for moderate risk takers.

Choosing the Right Funds
Selecting the right mutual funds is crucial. Here are some pointers.

1. Look at Past Performance
Check the past performance of the fund. While past performance is not a guarantee of future returns, it gives an idea.

2. Fund Manager Expertise
A good fund manager can make a significant difference. Look for funds managed by experienced and successful managers.

3. Expense Ratio
Expense ratio is the fee charged by the fund. Lower expense ratios mean more returns for you.

4. Consistency
Look for funds that have provided consistent returns over time. Consistency is key in mutual fund investments.

Why Not to Recommend Specific Scheme Names
Recommending specific mutual fund schemes online has several drawbacks. Here’s why it’s not advisable.

1. Individual Financial Goals
Everyone’s financial goals and risk tolerance are different. A scheme suitable for one person may not be suitable for another.

2. Changing Market Conditions
Market conditions change. A scheme performing well today may not perform the same way in the future.

3. Personal Financial Situation
An individual's financial situation is unique. Recommending a scheme without understanding their situation can lead to poor outcomes.

4. Professional Advice
Investment decisions should be based on personalized advice from a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). They can tailor recommendations to individual needs.

5. Regulatory Guidelines
There are regulatory guidelines regarding investment advice. Providing specific scheme names online may violate these guidelines.

6. Limited Scope
Online forums have limited scope to provide in-depth analysis. Personal consultation allows for a comprehensive understanding of needs and goals.

How Much to Invest
To withdraw Rs. 1 lakh per month, you need a significant investment. Here's a simple approach.

1. Target Monthly Income
Your target is Rs. 1 lakh per month. This translates to Rs. 12 lakh per year.

2. Expected Returns
Assume an average return of 8% per annum from a mix of equity and debt funds. This is a conservative estimate.

3. Required Corpus
To generate Rs. 12 lakh per year at 8% return, you need a corpus of Rs. 1.5 crore. This is a rough estimate.

Building Your Portfolio
A diversified portfolio is essential. Here’s how to build it.

1. Equity Funds
Allocate a portion to equity funds for growth. Select funds with a good track record.

2. Debt Funds
Include debt funds for stability. They will provide consistent returns with lower risk.

3. Hybrid Funds
Hybrid funds offer a balance of growth and stability. Include them for a well-rounded portfolio.

4. Regular Review
Regularly review your portfolio. Ensure it aligns with your goals and market conditions.

Benefits of Actively Managed Funds
Actively managed funds have a professional fund manager making investment decisions. Here’s why they are beneficial.

1. Expert Management
Fund managers have the expertise to make informed decisions. They can adjust the portfolio based on market conditions.

2. Potential for Higher Returns
Actively managed funds can potentially offer higher returns. Fund managers can identify and invest in high-growth opportunities.

3. Flexibility
These funds are flexible. Fund managers can quickly respond to market changes.

4. Personalized Strategy
Actively managed funds can be tailored to your investment strategy. This ensures your goals are met.

Disadvantages of Index Funds
Index funds track a specific index. Here’s why they might not be the best choice.

1. No Flexibility
Index funds strictly follow an index. They cannot adjust based on market conditions.

2. Limited Returns
They offer returns similar to the index. Actively managed funds can potentially outperform the index.

3. No Professional Management
Index funds do not have a fund manager making decisions. This can limit their performance.

4. Missed Opportunities
They cannot invest in high-growth opportunities outside the index.

Importance of Regular Funds
Investing through a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) offers several advantages.

1. Professional Guidance
A CFP provides expert advice. They help you choose the right funds based on your goals.

2. Tailored Strategy
They create a personalized investment strategy. This ensures your investments align with your financial goals.

3. Ongoing Support
A CFP offers ongoing support. They monitor your investments and make adjustments as needed.

4. Better Decision Making
With a CFP, you make informed decisions. This reduces the risk and increases the potential for returns.

Creating a Withdrawal Plan
Withdrawing Rs. 1 lakh per month requires a proper plan. Here’s how to do it.

1. Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)
SWP allows you to withdraw a fixed amount regularly. It ensures you have a steady income.

2. Tax Efficiency
Consider the tax implications. SWP can be tax-efficient compared to other withdrawal methods.

3. Monitor Withdrawals
Monitor your withdrawals. Ensure they do not deplete your corpus too quickly.

4. Rebalance Portfolio
Regularly rebalance your portfolio. This maintains the desired asset allocation and risk level.

You are taking a commendable step towards financial stability. Planning for a regular income shows foresight and responsibility.

It’s important to feel secure about your financial future. Investing wisely will give you peace of mind and financial freedom.

Additional Tips
Here are some extra tips to maximize your investments.

1. Diversification
Diversify your investments across different funds. This reduces risk and enhances returns.

2. Long-Term Focus
Focus on long-term investments. They have the potential to provide higher returns.

3. Avoid Emotional Decisions
Do not let emotions drive your investment decisions. Stick to your plan.

4. Stay Informed
Stay informed about market trends and fund performance. This helps in making better decisions.

Final Insights
Investing in mutual funds for a regular income is a sound strategy. By choosing the right funds and planning your investments, you can achieve your financial goals.

Regularly review your portfolio and seek advice from a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). This ensures your investments remain aligned with your goals.

Wishing you the best in your financial journey!
