I'll give some details in brief about myself and my goals in points. 1) I am 28 presently working in PSU(Bank) unmarried. 2)I've started sip last month with 20k(2 small cap, 2 flexicap, 1 Midcap, 1 largecap fund). 3)my goal is to reach corpus of 1 crore in 15 years. 4) I want your guidance in achieving my goal. 5)presently I have not taken any loans so no EMI , also I've started RD of 7k per month.

Ans: It's fantastic that you're proactively planning for your financial future at such a young age. Here's a tailored guidance based on your details:

Start Early Advantage: Your decision to start SIPs and an RD at 28 is commendable. Starting early gives you a significant advantage in wealth accumulation due to the power of compounding.
Diversification: Your portfolio of SIPs in small-cap, flexi-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap funds shows good diversification across different segments of the market. Continue monitoring the performance of these funds and consider rebalancing if needed.
Goal Clarity: Your goal of reaching a corpus of 1 crore in 15 years is specific and measurable, which is crucial for effective financial planning. Keep reviewing your progress towards this goal periodically and make adjustments as necessary.
Regular Review: Stay updated with the performance of your investments and periodically review your financial plan. Consider increasing your SIP contributions over time as your income grows or if you have surplus funds.
Emergency Fund: Ensure you have an emergency fund set aside to cover unexpected expenses or financial setbacks. Aim to build an emergency fund equivalent to 6-12 months of your living expenses.
Stay Informed: Continue educating yourself about personal finance and investment strategies. Consider seeking advice from a Certified Financial Planner for personalized guidance tailored to your specific financial situation and goals.
By staying disciplined, continuing your SIP contributions, and periodically reviewing your financial plan, you're on the right track to achieving your goal of reaching a corpus of 1 crore in 15 years. Keep up the good work, and remember that consistency and patience are key to long-term wealth creation.

Thank you sir for your valuable feedback. I'll give some details in brief about myself and my goals in points. 1) I am 28 presently working in PSU(Bank) unmarried. 2)I've started sip last month with 20k(2 small cap, 2 flexicap, 1 Midcap, 1 largecap fund). 3)my goal is to reach corpus of 1 crore in 15 years. 4) I want your guidance in achieving my goal. 5)presently I have not taken any loans so no EMI , also I've started RD of 7k per month.
Ans: Based on the details you have provided, here’s a breakdown of your financial situation and
steps you can take to achieve your goal of reaching a corpus of Rs. 1 crore in 15 years:

Current Financial Situation:
• Age: 28 years (Unmarried)
• Occupation: Working in PSU (Bank)
• Monthly SIP: Rs. 20,000 (diversified across large-cap, flexi-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap
funds)
• Monthly RD: Rs. 7,000
• No outstanding loans or EMIs

Financial Goal:
• Accumulate a corpus of Rs. 1 crore in 15 years.

Guidance to Achieve Your Goal:
With the SIPs of Rs 20,000 assuming the returns of 12%, you are on the right track to
achieving your goal of reaching a corpus of Rs 1 crore in 15 years. However, taking the
inflation into the account, the value of today’s 1 Cr would not be the same at the time of the
year of your goal. Hence, we recommend you to increase your SIPs on a yearly basis.

Here are some additional tips to help you reach your goal:

1. Continue with SIPs and RDs: Maintaining your regular SIP and RD contributions is crucial
for building your corpus over time. The power of compounding will work in your favour as
your investments grow over the years.

2. Evaluate SIP Allocation: Review your SIP allocation periodically to ensure it aligns with
your risk tolerance and investment goal. As you approach your goal, you may consider
shifting your allocation to safer instruments.

3. Increase SIP Contribution: If possible, consider increasing your monthly SIP contribution
as your income grows. This will accelerate your progress towards your goal.

4. Stay disciplined: It is important to stay disciplined with your investment plan, even when
the market is down. Don’t panic and sell your investments. Instead, ride out the waves and
continue to invest for the long term.

Ans: It's admirable how you've diligently built your financial foundation despite the challenges. Your proactive approach to planning is commendable. Considering your current situation, it's essential to reassess your strategy. Have you explored options to optimize your expenses and potentially increase your savings? Additionally, have you considered the impact of inflation on your target corpus?

A Certified Financial Planner can provide personalized guidance tailored to your aspirations and limitations. They can help you recalibrate your investment portfolio, ensuring a balanced approach that aligns with your risk tolerance and long-term goals. While your current SIPs are a step in the right direction, diversifying your investments further could enhance your potential returns.

Remember, financial planning is a journey, not a destination. Stay focused on your objectives, and with careful planning and guidance, you'll navigate through any challenges towards a secure and fulfilling retirement.

Ans: Hello Sangayya, it's great to see your commitment to building your financial future through SIP investments. Let's break down your goal of reaching a corpus of 1 crore in 10 years and assess your current investment approach:

Review Current Investments: Evaluate the performance of your existing SIPs relative to their benchmarks and peers. This will help you understand if adjustments are needed to optimize your portfolio for growth.
Assess Required Monthly Investment: To reach a corpus of 1 crore in 10 years, you'll need to calculate the required monthly investment based on your expected rate of return. This depends on factors like the type of funds you're investing in and prevailing market conditions.
Consider Increasing SIP Amount: If your current monthly investment of 22k isn't sufficient to reach your goal, you may need to increase your SIP amounts or explore additional investment avenues. A Certified Financial Planner can help you determine the optimal investment strategy based on your risk tolerance and financial goals.
Stay Consistent and Patient: Building a substantial corpus takes time and discipline. Stay committed to your investment plan, continue SIPs regularly, and avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.
Regular Portfolio Review: Periodically review your portfolio's performance and make adjustments as needed. Rebalancing your investments and exploring new opportunities can help you stay on track towards achieving your financial goals.
Remember, while setting ambitious targets is commendable, it's essential to ensure that your investment strategy is realistic and aligned with your risk tolerance and financial capacity. With careful planning and perseverance, you can work towards building a significant corpus over the next decade.

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!
