Dear sir, My monthly income is 1.5Lacs Monthly Expenses: 2.5 Lacs Borrowed money from Market 80Lacs How can get rid of this debt plz advise me Thank you Mohammed Majeed
Ans: Dear Mohammed,

Handling your debt effectively and improving your financial health requires a strategic approach. Here are some steps you can take to manage and eventually eliminate your debt.

Assess Your Current Financial Situation
Monthly Income and Expenses: You have a monthly income of Rs 1.5 lakhs and expenses of Rs 2.5 lakhs. This results in a deficit of Rs 1 lakh per month.

Borrowed Money: You have borrowed Rs 80 lakhs from the market. This is a significant amount and needs careful planning to repay.

Create a Detailed Budget
Track Expenses: Note down all your expenses, categorize them, and identify non-essential items.

Cut Down Costs: Focus on reducing discretionary spending. Prioritize needs over wants.

Increase Income Streams
Additional Work: Look for part-time or freelance opportunities to boost your income.

Utilize Skills: Use your skills to offer consulting or other services.

Debt Repayment Strategy
Prioritize High-Interest Debt: Focus on repaying the highest interest debt first. This will reduce the overall interest burden.

Debt Consolidation: Consider consolidating your loans into a single loan with a lower interest rate. This simplifies payments and can reduce interest costs.

Negotiate with Creditors
Interest Rate Reduction: Contact creditors to negotiate lower interest rates or extended repayment terms.

Restructuring Loans: If possible, restructure your loans to make repayment more manageable.

Financial Discipline
Avoid New Debt: Resist taking on new debt until the existing one is under control.

Emergency Fund: Gradually build an emergency fund to avoid relying on debt for unexpected expenses.

Utilize Professional Guidance
Certified Financial Planner: Seek advice from a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). They can provide a personalized plan based on your financial situation.
Regular Review and Adjustment
Monthly Review: Regularly review your budget and repayment plan. Adjust as needed to stay on track.

Final Insights
Commitment: Managing and eliminating debt requires commitment and financial discipline.

Professional Help: Utilize professional guidance to navigate complex financial decisions.

Long-Term View: Focus on long-term financial health, not just immediate relief.

Hi Anu Mam Im 27 yrs old ( married) and 10 yrs old daughter. Im seperated from my husband since 2 yrs due to several reasons like he is drinking and Totally addicted to it. And he is totally dependent and now today also roaming on the roads of some streets of hyd. I belongs to an orthdox family. Now the question is one backward caste man who is married age : 33 he is interested in me and proposed me to a marriage after knowing all my past and saying that he accepts my child too. And the thing is he said a lie to me at first that he is unmarried and even though i had a good impression on him about the way he behaves with me he even treat me in a very polite manner. He says he loves me even though i too had a good impression but the things are the castes and can we both settle down with a marriage can we be happy or he is only trying to convince me to get him a wife to care care of him or only for his parents, he always talks about his own sister and also the office colleagues calls them sister and get emotional about them those who left the office. And he cries a lot which i dont trust on him and the face i see him that was not an real cry that looks like an act which i dont like in him. May he is acting ? Or really loving me, ge cares alot i feel like he is over reacting
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If you are in doubt, then it's highly likely that he is putting on an act. Go with your intuition and hey hey, you said that he is married and so are you...You do realize that you just can't go ahead and marry while you are already to other people, right?
Focus on what's happening in your life; you obviously have to do something about it...Other relationships can wait!

All the best!

Hello Ms Anu, I am a 42yr female..married since 14 yrs and have 10yr old son . I am highly qualified and financially independent. My marriage was a arranged one.. but in these 14 yrs.. I never experienced love or and attachment from my husband's side. He is a family man.. there is no other woman involved..He loves his parents and his two sisters immensely... but always treats me as a option. I feel humiliated and lonely and he has short temper when i talk about this issue... so basically I don't discuss... but that is no solution... I am suffering and unhappy. What should I do?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
A few married men can be more focused on the women on their side of the family; it becomes easy to express love, care and attention to them as he has grown with them.
A wife happens to be someone that he is yet to understand. It requires effort to make a marriage work; your husband finds it convenient to take the easy way out and 'hang out' with his family.
So, here you take the lead and start. Start not by bringing forth your complaints as this is going to push him further to them which is going to annoy you BUT by inviting him to be with you. A lot of work, I get it...but the bottom line: that's what you want, right?
Plan dates evenings, take short vacations together, work-out together...the key is to establish a connection which never had its chance in the first place...So, give your best shot! Most times actions speak louder than words ever can...

All the best!
