Hello Madam, i am 38 year married women, having a 15year 1 kid boy ( but my husband not loving me even he is not talking with me from the last 8 years but we r leaving together due to our son, he fulfilled the need with the responsibilities of our home and our son but as wife he is not talking and even not caring to me ,but before 2 years back one married man come to talk with me he is my official colleague and we both attached a lot with each other after some days he proposed me and said that he is loving me many years ago but he thought that i am very Strick person will not response him, but now he is saying that he wants me as a life partner me also every time he treat me like a wife very much caring and loving nature now i introduce him to my family as a friend and family members also very happy with taking to him, we are from 2 year together is it good or what should i do further?
Ans: Dear Ruta,
You want to get into a relationship with a married man? Will that not complicate your already complicated life?
You certainly deserve to be loved and taken care of BUT do not jump towards a married man...you do understand that his priorities will lie with his first family and this will hurt you again and you will feel neglected AGAIN...

What is he planning with his marriage? Does his wife know about your relationship? Is he going to end his marriage and then marry you? These questions need answers and then you can decide for yourself keeping in mind that you need to take of yourself emotionally in this second association.

All the best!

Dear Sir, My Age is 59 and investment is as follows: Stock market 1.2 Cr MFI 2.0 Cr Expectied pension from 2026 1,4L per month House : own house Loan liability is zero Responsibility: Marriage of two sons who finished PG My question is " above fund sufficient to take over for me and my wife for next 30 year (assuming life expectancy is 90 Years) Regards Srinivasan
Ans: Hello;

You may invest 20 L in Arbitrage type of mutual fund(low risk) earmarked for marriage of your sons.

Also you may invest 3 Cr into equity savings type mutual fund (moderate risk).

After 3 years it may grow into a sum of 3.89 Cr considering modest return of 9%.

I suggest that you redeem this corpus by paying LTCG(~11 L) and buy an immediate annuity for balance corpus of 3.78 Cr from a life insurance company.

I am not recommending you to do an SWP because for your required monthly income SWP rate will have to be 4.5%+ annually and I ran this on an swp calculator which shows depleted corpus of less then 1 Cr after 30 years.

Considering annuity rate of 6% you may expect to receive monthly payment of 1.89 L(pre-tax).

Seek joint annuity for yourself and your spouse with return of purchase price to your nominees.

Some life insurers offer increasing annuity at fixed intervals to account for inflation.

Also if you shop around and negotiate you may get a better annuity rate.

Happy Investing!!
