Hi Ramalingam, I am 43 years old. I have a monthly sip of 35k going on. I have started investing in mutual fund and sip from year 2013. Total mutual fund plus sip current market value is 1 core 9 lakhs . I plan to invest 35 k per month more for 7 to 8 years , when i want to leave job and do something else. Can you tell me what will be my corpus in 7 to 8 years down the line taking both current valution plus what i am going to continue investing?

Ans: Given your current mutual fund holdings and your plan to invest an additional ?35,000 per month for the next 7 to 8 years, your corpus is likely to grow significantly. The exact amount depends on various factors like market performance, fund selection, and economic conditions.

Since you've been investing since 2013 and already have a substantial corpus of ?1.09 crores, continuing your disciplined approach to investing is commendable. By consistently adding to your investments, you're likely to benefit from the power of compounding.

However, it's essential to keep in mind that investment returns are subject to market volatility. While past performance can provide insights, it's not a guarantee of future results. Regularly reviewing your portfolio, staying informed about market trends, and consulting with a financial advisor can help you make informed decisions aligned with your financial goals.

Hi Ulhas, I am 43 years old. I have a monthly sip of 35k going on. I have started investing in mutual fund and sip from year 2013. Total mutual fund plus sip current market value is 1 core 9 lakhs . I plan to invest 35 k per month more for 7 to 8 years , when i want to leave job and do something else. Can you tell me what will be my corpus in 7 to 8 years down the line taking both current valution plus what i am going to continue investing?
Ans: To calculate your corpus in 7 to 8 years down the line, we need to make some assumptions:

• Investment amount: 35k per month
• Existing Investments : Rs.1.09 Crore
• Investment horizon: 7 to 8 years
• Expected return: 12% per annum

Using a compound interest calculator, we can calculate the following:
Corpus = Investment amount * (1 + Expected return) ^Investment horizon

You will accumulate around Rs.3.3 Crores approximately after 8 years

Note: These are just estimates, and the actual corpus may vary depending on the actual investment returns.

Tips to help you reach your goals:

• Continue to invest regularly. Even if you can only invest a small amount each month, it will add up over time.
• Rebalance your portfolio regularly. This means selling some of your winners and buying more of your losers to maintain your desired asset allocation.
• Don't panic sell. The market will inevitably go up and down, but don't let your emotions get the best of you. Stay focused on your long-term goals and don't sell your investments when the market is down.

Hi Sanjeev, I am 43 years old. I have a monthly sip of 35k going on. I have started investing in mutual fund and sip from year 2013. Total mutual fund plus sip current market value is 1 core 9 lakhs . I plan to invest 35 k per month more for 7 to 8 years , when i want to leave job and do something else. Can you tell me what will be my corpus in 7 to 8 years down the line taking both current valution plus what i am going to continue investing?Also, i have another 1 corore total in other investment like Voluntary provident fund, Epf, ppf and esops from my company and pension fund . Here i do a monthly investment of around 80 k via mostly through company for tax savings. So what will be my total corpus after 7 to 8 yrs. Also, is it good for retirement considering my current monthly expense us 1 lakh.
Ans: It is really great to see that you have started to plan for your post-retirement life and you have accumulated ample amount till now.

If you continue in the same way with a monthly SIP of Rs. 80,000, I am convinced that you will have enough corpus to support yourself throughout retirement.

Accumulated corpus in 8 years with monthly investment of 80,000 and present value 1.09 Crore will likely be 4.12 Crores. Rate of return considered for the calculation is 12% CAGR.

Assuming that you want to maintain your current monthly expense of ₹1 lakh in retirement, it is important to factor in inflation, which will erode the value of your money over time.

Since you have other avenues as well to support your expenses, this will help to create a heftier corpus.

Recommendations:
• Invest in a mix of equity and debt mutual funds to diversify your portfolio and reduce risk.
• Rebalance your portfolio regularly to maintain your appropriate asset allocation as per your requirement.
• Consult with a financial advisor to develop a comprehensive retirement plan.

Dear LG, Please keep this anonymous. I have been married since 6 years. However, since past 5+ years we have not been intimate. We haave a 5&1/2 year kid. Since his birth we have had a lot of differences and his family interference was lot leaving me alone and wounded. I don't stay with my husband and in-laws since then. I had made up that work is worship. But 2 years back I met a colleague. He is 10 years younger to me and we have extremely similar vibes. We enjoy each other's company and cared a lot. Eventually i fell in love with him. But he always knew he wont be able to go against his family. We also had relationship. Now he has strated looking for girls and wants us to stop being intimate. He is saying he wants to be friends and not loose me but not have relationship. We both work together in same space and our area of work is also same. I am unable to forgive my husband and forget this person. He never goes away. He is always there telling that I want to see you happy. He needs me for professional development. And i am not able to loose our relationship. He says physical intimacy only I cant have remaining Im there. Then again says I don’t know when I will be there so I am unable to give assurance or promise. I am tormented with a child, work and my health is getting affected. Can you please help?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am sorry that you are in such a tough spot. My advice would be to move on. Yes, I realize that it is easier said than done but let's put things into perspective- first, you have no future with this man, and he has made it clear. Are you okay to keep hanging on to him while he builds his own life? I am assuming no, especially since you have a child. Second, what about your self-respect? He is directly telling you that this relationship is headed toward a dead end. Do you believe you deserve to be with someone who does not want to settle down with you? I believe you deserve better.

I am not blaming him because he made no promises. You are not to be held guilty either because you were in a tough spot and you grabbed the first emotional support you found. But the current reality is that he wants out. And convincing him to stay is not an option. At this point, moving on with your head held high is the best decision. If you want to accept his friendship, that is completely fine. But if that's too much for you, you can always decline it. I understand that working in the same space with an ex is difficult, but as long as you avoid interacting outside of the office and keep things professional, there should not be an issue. On the emotional front, I won't lie, it will hurt for a while. But this too shall pass. I strongly recommend you not to value yourself so low that you stop believing that you deserve a person who loves you back as much as you love him.

Best Wishes.
