Sir I have a doubt regarding location ,sir since Bangalore is the Silicon Valley is studying in low tier colleges in Bangalore will be better or the private colleges like ssnce or psg which have a good placement record and ample opportunities be a good choice.

Ans: Hello;

If we consider that PPF, SSY, SGB and other current investments are meant for other financial goals, then you should start a monthly sip of 1 L to reach a target of 10 Cr after the end of 20 years considering modest return of 12% from pure equity mutual funds.

If we consider the current investments also towards retirement such that each scheme gets reinvested in MFs after maturity then a monthly sip of 60 K would suffice to reach corpus of around 6 Cr after 20 years while balance sum of around 4 Cr is expected after current investments are reinvested in MFs for respective residual span.

Ans: I am not clear what is 132-112 mean. Are these systolic BP readings or one is systolic (upper one) and other diastolic (lower BP). If 112 is systolic BP, then it is okay.
If diastolic, then you need to consult physician to modify the medicines.
You seems to be doing okay. However, I can provide better advice if I have a detailed blood and vitals report.

Ans: Hello;

You should have a minimum corpus of 5 Cr. in a moderate risk equity savings type mutual fund for eg Kotak equity savings fund.

Then you can begin SWP at the rate of 3% leading to monthly income of around 1.25 L(pre-tax).

Assuming 9% return from the scheme, despite the 3% SWP, the corpus will grow in line with inflation (6%) so as to protect against the same for a long tenure of 35 years. Of course the returns on an average are assumed to be 9% but in reality they could be 12% or even 5% some year.

Your kids will need funds for their higher education in 5 and 10 years timeframe from now which you need to account for, as well.

Get your parents enrolled for Aayushman Bharat scheme as it is now applicable to all senior citizens above 70.

Plus also ensure good term life cover for yourself and family health care policy for all family members including parents.

Ensure 6 months of expense coverage as emergency fund in liquid assets.
