Hi, I'm 45 now and have mixed SIPs (2small cap, 3ELSS, 2 mid cap and 1flexi cap) for around 46K per month. I still have 15 years to my retirement. Need your suggestion if I should keep so many SIP running or should have only 1 per category to achieve my goal of around 2 - 3cr at my retirement only through SIPs.

Ans: At 45, your commitment to SIPs is commendable for securing your retirement. However, consolidating your SIPs can simplify management and potentially optimize returns. Consider maintaining one SIP per category to streamline tracking and rebalancing. Evaluate the performance and consistency of each fund against its peers and benchmarks. Reflect on your risk tolerance and ensure your portfolio aligns with your long-term goals. Remember, investing is about quality over quantity, and diversification remains key. As you aim for a retirement corpus of 2-3 crores, focus on disciplined investing and periodic review. Consult with a Certified Financial Planner to fine-tune your strategy for optimal results. Keep nurturing your investments with patience and perseverance, knowing that every SIP contributes to your financial security in the golden years ahead.

Dear Anu, Me and my brother always wanted to buy a 2bhk. I got married a couple of years back & my younger brother is unmarried. We both have been looking for properties for years now but nothing would fit our budget. This is something my wife knew before marriage as well. Now she wants me to abandon the plans of buying a house with my brother and to plan with her. I am of the view we all can come together to buy the house but she is not ok with my brother contributing. As she believes it will create issues later on and during inheritance. I am in a dilemma about how to navigate this. As we all live in rented flat along with my parents?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are taking an emotional stance on this and your wife is on a fear-ridden path...both of you are not wrong BUT is it possible to agree to what your wife is saying and yet not lose your brother's favor. Then you will have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Separate finances keeps relationships healthy and we have enough evidence where mixing financial matters and personal stuff can get messy...
There is nothing emotional about it, so think of the future...it's better to be safe and he's your brother...I am sure that he will understand...I have a question for you though: Why is it so important for you to have your brother's presence in buying the house? What will happen if you go ahead by yourself just like he can go ahead himself?
There are other things that you can share like going on holidays together, family gatherings, doing some charitable work together...
Prioritize relationships over finding what ties them...and your brother is not married...his future bride may not like the arrangement as well and then it will be one big mess to separate things...
Better keep things separate now than later...mending scars is more difficult than making a sane decision now...

All the best!

I am 38yr old working women .I have 3year old daughter. 2.5 years back my father in law expired . After which my MIL started staying with us as my husband is a single child. She started creating lot of trouble in our family because of which my husband left me and my child.since then my husband is not staying with us neither helping me or my child emotionally and financially even after speaking to him.We took couple therapy also. Nothing changed. Now as I to put my child for school, I am feeling burdened emotionally, physically and financially which I don't want to show at my kid. kindly guide me to come out of the situation and give the best safe environment for my daughter.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Why should you bear the responsibilities all by yourself?
Legal separation has not happened and he is still responsible towards your daughter who is his daughter as well. If nothing has come out of therapy, then the responsibility to change and work on the marriage has not been a strong need.
Have an honest conversation with your husband on this; leaving home with no clarity for anyone is not a very nice thing to do...
Let him state his side of the story as to what he intends to do in the future with the marriage and maintenance of the child. If he refuses to offer support, legal recourse might be your only option.
But before doing anything, a frank chat with him is necessary. Know what's on his mind and do understand that your daughter is eligible to support financially from her father. So, don't go through with all this alone.
Do make an attempt to put things back together and then opt for other choices...

All the best!

Career
Which is beneficial out of 1.Certficate programes by MBA colleges . 2 Distance MBA 3. Executive MBA 4. Regular MBA in India? Context: I have 12 year of experience in total in the IT sector. I am a solution architect earning around 50LPA CTC. I am exploring the options of doing an MBA and not sure which one is more suitable. I am in middle management and want to get into the senior leadership role. Objective: This MBA/certificate for me is a ladder to scale up. So I am looking only for top 5 management schools in India. Mostly from IIM's or ISB only. Expectation: Looking for alumni status Looking for network connections for better outreach for a job switch. Impression on Resume/profile to get a job in a higher designation. I am more concerned with designation although in the IT sector only. (Is impression is enough to scale up the ladder , with comm and tech skills. Not sure ) Constraints: I need remote education, and can't relocate to different cities. cant go beyond 6-8lakh fees. Options: Certificate Program (IIM, ISB, XLRI) Executive MBA(1 year)(Too expensive though) General MBA(2 year remote) From these options, which is the best alternative? and what is the difference between these? Does it hold any value on paper?
Ans: It is always preferable to do an Executive MBA considering what you require from an MBA course. But you have other constraints in which case look at distance MBA Certificate course. There are foreign universities like Wharton, Kellogg, etc offering Distance Certificate course, but if you plan to continue working in India, course from top IIMs or ISB or XLRI could be better.
