Hi sir , I would like to invest 6000 per month and iam 38 years old and by retirement u would like to get corpus fund of 2 crore, sir can you suggest me where to invest and reach my goal
Ans: It's great that you're planning for your retirement at 38. Let's explore your investment options to reach your goal of a 2 crore corpus:

• Start with SIPs: Since you're looking to invest 6000 per month, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in mutual funds are a smart choice. SIPs offer the benefit of rupee cost averaging and can help you build wealth over time.

• Asset Allocation: Given your age and long-term investment horizon, consider a diversified portfolio comprising equity and debt funds. Equity funds offer growth potential, while debt funds provide stability.

• Equity Mutual Funds: Allocate a significant portion of your SIPs to equity mutual funds. These funds invest in stocks and have the potential to generate higher returns over the long term. Look for funds that have a track record of consistent performance and align with your risk tolerance.

• Debt Mutual Funds: To balance risk, consider allocating a portion of your SIPs to debt mutual funds. These funds invest in fixed-income securities like bonds and offer relatively stable returns. They can provide a cushion during market downturns.

• Review and Adjust: Regularly review your investment portfolio and make adjustments as needed. As you approach retirement, consider gradually shifting your allocation from equity to debt to reduce volatility and preserve capital.

• Consider Tax-saving Funds: If you haven't already, explore Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS), also known as tax-saving funds. These funds offer tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act while providing exposure to equity markets.

• Consult a Certified Financial Planner: Seeking advice from a Certified Financial Planner can provide valuable insights into structuring your investment portfolio and achieving your retirement goals. They can assess your risk profile, investment horizon, and financial objectives to tailor a plan that suits your needs.

• Stay Disciplined: Consistency is key to long-term investing success. Stick to your SIPs even during market fluctuations and avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term market movements.

• Monitor Progress: Keep track of your investment performance and periodically reassess your progress towards your retirement goal. Adjust your strategy as necessary to stay on track and maximize returns.

By following these steps and staying committed to your investment plan, you can work towards achieving your retirement goal of a 2 crore corpus. Remember, investing is a journey, and patience and discipline are essential for success.

Hi, I am not yet mairred. I used to like a man and after a month we decided to get married. He was of my caste so I thought my parents won't deny this mairrage. I used to talk to and wanted to let him know everything about my past so that we can built a strong root of our relationship. I spoke every detail of my past life to him. Then before he proposed me for mairrage I went for a vacation with my male friend to dehradun. I didn't tell him that day as he didn't proposed me till that day then why would I tell everything about me to anyone. He was noone to me at that time. After that he came to visit me in Delhi and on the same when he was on train a friend of mine along with his fiance came to meet me after a very long time. I asked him and he didn't denied. After returning home he blocked me. I cried and cried, called multiple times but he didn't received my call. Even I went to his location and waited for almost 3 hr but he didn't came. Then I asked my sister to call him. Then he talked to me but he said me so much of harsh and vulgar words that I went in shock. I cried a lot but he went on humiliating me. But somehow I convinced him to stay with me. I never talked to that friend ever. Then I told my parents about him that I want to get married with this men. Being a girl's father my father enquired about him by being annonymous. And trust me noone has said anything good about him. Later on we get to know that his father has a murder case on him of his brother in law. But then I wanted to get married. Finally my parents agreed only for my happines. Meanwhile I was never being respected by him. He always doubt me, humiliate me, abuse me mentally and physically, and when I was like I don't want to be with you he used to say sorry and begged me to be with him. He even used to restrict to visit my uncle aunty. His mother wants used to defend him and never used to make him realise that he was wrong. Then before engagement we went to Kolkata to buy dress. Yes one more thing I have informed him on the very first day that I used to drink and smoke occassionally. So whenever he used to visit me he always wanted to drink with me whether I want it or not. He always used to abuse me and humiliate me in front of everyone after drinking, so after a period of time I used to avoid drinking. Then he used to fight with me for that also that why will you not drink. In kolkata the same thing happen. We stayed there for 3 days and he was convincing to go to club from the very first day but I refused. On 3rd he hit me. After engagement his family asked for dowry. After a lot of dealing my parents agreed for an amount. But I felt betrayed. I stopped talking. After after when I initiated the conversation he picked up a fight and said he won't marry. I tried to convince. But when everyone was blaming me then I broke my silence and said everything about him to my parent. But he manipulated everything and made me villain. My parents want me to get married as the society will insult our parents. I am getting married in November only for my parents but I have already made up my mind that I'll divorce him after 1 year of mairrage and will live my life alone. Am I thinking right? What should I do?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
No, you are not thinking right at all...This man is all RED FLAGS...
Are you actually thinking of spending one year with a person who physically abuses you? Seriously?
And then you expect him to agree to that divorce without any fuss? What world are you in? No compromises on your life please...
Be wise and protect yourself...

All the best!
