new tax regime is better or old? my daughter is asking me, her salary is 51000 / month

Ans: The decision of whether the new tax regime or the old tax regime is better depends on various factors like the individual's income, deductions, investments, and financial goals. In the case of your daughter, who has a monthly salary of Rs. 51,000, the new tax regime may be beneficial if she doesn't have many tax-saving investments or deductions. However, if she has significant tax-saving investments and deductions like home loan interest, life insurance premiums, etc., then the old tax regime may be more beneficial for her.

Under the new tax regime, your daughter can choose to forego most tax deductions and exemptions, and she will be taxed at lower tax rates. The new tax regime has lower tax rates than the old tax regime, but it doesn't allow for many tax deductions and exemptions. On the other hand, the old tax regime has higher tax rates, but it allows for various tax deductions and exemptions.

To determine which regime is better for your daughter, you can compare the tax liability under both regimes based on her income, deductions, and investments.

In summary, whether the new tax regime or the old tax regime is better for your daughter depends on her specific financial situation.

To begin with, thank you for reaching out to us. It’s great that your son wants to complete his postgraduate studies abroad. Pursuing a Master’s in Finance in Australia can open up many job opportunities in finance, banking, and consulting, as Australia has a strong financial sector. Graduating from Australia can give him an edge in India as well, as international qualifications are often valued, especially in global firms. Dubai is a also great option to pursue higher studies, with several top universities offering strong finance programs. Plus, Dubai offers good post-study work opportunities, especially in sectors like investment banking and wealth management, making it a solid choice for building a career. Ultimately, both Australia and Dubai are fantastic options that will give him a solid foundation, providing valuable opportunities whether he decides to work in India or internationally.

So can you tell me how. I can get out from this to become rich . I àm 18 yrs old student so i became depresed day by day for poor financial condition. And i want to become a rich so i took in 11th commerce stream that can give me a knowledge about business.
Ans: I appreciate your determination to improve your financial situation. At 18, you have time to build a strong foundation for your future. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you move toward financial stability and eventually achieve wealth.

1. Focus on Education and Skill Development
Since you are studying commerce, learn practical skills in finance, business, and entrepreneurship.
Improve your English, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Consider free online courses in business, marketing, and technology. Websites like YouTube, Udemy (free courses), and Coursera can help.
2. Choose a Career or Business Path
You have two main paths: Job (Career) or Business (Entrepreneurship).

A) Career Path – Get a Job and Earn First
After 12th, choose a degree that gives good job opportunities, like B.Com, BBA, CA, or digital marketing.
If college is expensive, learn job-oriented skills like coding, graphic design, video editing, or freelancing.
Work part-time while studying to gain experience and earn money.
B) Business Path – Start Small & Grow
Since you are from an agricultural background, you can start a small agribusiness like organic farming, dairy farming, or selling farm products online.
If you are interested in business, learn about dropshipping, affiliate marketing, or e-commerce (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.).
Start a side hustle, like reselling products, tutoring students, or working as a freelancer.
3. Earn and Save Money
Once you start earning, save at least 20-30% of your income.
Avoid spending on unnecessary things like expensive clothes, gadgets, or parties.
Keep an emergency fund for unexpected expenses.
4. Invest and Grow Your Wealth
Once you save some money, invest in mutual funds and stocks for long-term growth.
Start small and learn about investing before putting in large amounts.
Avoid scams and get-rich-quick schemes. Wealth takes time to build.
5. Stay Mentally Strong and Keep Learning
Tough times don’t last forever. Stay positive and work hard.
Read books about successful entrepreneurs and financial management.
Surround yourself with people who support and motivate you.
Final Thoughts
Focus on learning and developing practical skills.
Start earning through a job or business.
Save and invest wisely to grow wealth over time.
Stay patient and disciplined. Success takes time.
Your journey may be difficult, but with the right mindset and consistent effort, you can improve your financial situation.

Relationship
Hi, I am 28 years old, about to get engaged in couple of months. It's an arranged marriage. Before that I met with the girl. At our first meeting, she was little shy and hesitant at first but still we were able to have a good conversation. However after that, as usual parents wanted an answer and without beating around the bush, we agreed. Now we talk sometimes but mostly chat regularly but it always feels like I am the one who is putting more efforts like starting the conversation, giving gifts, cracking jokes.. sometimes it feels like an interview round like me just asking questions and she is just answering. Our chat does not last more than 5min. I just can't understand why is this happening. I am pretty confident talking to people but I can't find out why this is so awkward. Am I overthinking or is this normal?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You put too much effort only when you expect a certain outcome. Why don't you just enjoy getting to know her gradually rather than thinking what you have to gift her? Is it not possible to take it slow and see what comes out of it. Maybe she is rather shy and likes to take things slow?
And what's the point timing things like chats? It will always seem like it's less or not enough. What should be enough is that you and she like one another and start this journey together by accepting one another and not focus on what's not happening. If you are still in doubt, maybe what might help is doing things that she likes but together. You are putting effort in a manner that you know BUT is that the manner that she understands and responds to?

All the best!
