Money
I am 42 staying in Pune with my wife and two daughters 7 years and 1 year old. I have 70 lakh in MF , 12 lakh in nps, 18 lakh in pf and 31 lakh in stocks. I have additional investment in 62 lakh in FD that is pledged to trade in derivatives through a consultant. Wife has physical gold worth 5 lakh. I have recently bought a land on loan and current liability is 25 lakh @8.5% ( total 70(land+construction)lakh is sanctioned for construction). My current expense is 1 lakh a month and i stay in rented house. My monthly income is 2.5 lakh from salary. Can I quit my job and move to my hometown in Ranchi. What is the financial plan if i want to quit.
Ans: You want to quit your job and move to Ranchi. Your current investments and expenses need careful planning. Let’s evaluate your financial situation.

Current Financial Position
Rs. 70 lakh in mutual funds.

Rs. 12 lakh in NPS.

Rs. 18 lakh in PF.

Rs. 31 lakh in stocks.

Rs. 62 lakh in FD (pledged for derivatives trading).

Rs. 5 lakh in wife’s gold.

Rs. 25 lakh loan at 8.5% interest (out of Rs. 70 lakh sanctioned).

Monthly salary of Rs. 2.5 lakh.

Monthly expenses of Rs. 1 lakh.

Staying in a rented house.

Key Challenges in Quitting Job
You need a stable income source after quitting.

Loan repayment should not burden your finances.

Derivatives trading involves high risk.

Relocation to Ranchi should not disrupt financial stability.

Step-by-Step Financial Plan
1. Build a Strong Emergency Fund
Keep Rs. 20 lakh as a buffer for 2 years of expenses.

Use FD or liquid mutual funds for this.

This ensures financial security after quitting.

2. Secure a Passive Income Source
You need at least Rs. 1 lakh per month in passive income.

This can come from investments, consulting, or business.

Rental income or dividends alone may not be enough.

3. Restructure Your Loan
Your land loan at 8.5% interest adds financial pressure.

Repaying Rs. 25 lakh from FD or stocks reduces the burden.

Avoid using risky derivative profits to pay loans.

4. Reallocate Investments for Stability
Reduce exposure to high-risk derivatives trading.

Convert Rs. 62 lakh FD into a mix of mutual funds and bonds.

Equity mutual funds can generate higher long-term returns.

5. Plan for Child’s Future
Your daughters are 7 years and 1 year old.

Set aside Rs. 25 lakh for education in safe investments.

Avoid blocking funds in low-return FDs.

6. Address Housing Needs
If moving to Ranchi, consider staying in a rented house initially.

Construction should not strain your savings.

Use part of your investments if you decide to build.

Final Insights
Quitting your job is possible but needs careful planning.

Ensure passive income before quitting.

Clear high-interest liabilities to reduce stress.

Invest wisely for long-term financial security.

Moving to Ranchi should not affect your financial freedom.

Consult a Certified Financial Planner for proper execution.

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
