good evening, hi, i am working in private organization, due to dm i does not have a sex for the past two years with my wife what to do

Ans: You are in a very strong position. High income, low expense, and good saving habit give you big advantage. With some corrections, you can achieve all goals comfortably.

» Current Position – Strong Foundation

Income is high compared to expenses
EMI is manageable
You already have equity + MF + NPS
Emergency fund exists, but needs strengthening
Clear goals: farmhouse + retirement

» LIC Policy – Review Before Decision
You have LIC from 2019, paying Rs 27k per quarter

Points to check:

What is the return expectation? Usually such policies give low returns
Long lock-in till 2040 reduces flexibility

Suggested approach:

Do not stop immediately
Check surrender value and paid-up value
If returns are low and cover is not needed, consider making it paid-up
Redirect future premium into mutual funds for better growth

» Emergency Fund – Increase Slightly

Current Rs 4 lakh is on the lower side

You should:

Target at least Rs 6 to 8 lakh
Keep in savings + liquid funds

» Home Loan – Partial Payment Strategy

EMI Rs 70k is comfortable for your income

Approach:

Do some part payment, but not aggressive
Balance between loan reduction and wealth creation

Why:

Equity investments over long term can give better returns than loan interest saved
Do not block too much money into loan

» Investment Diversification – Needs Structure
Current mix:

Direct equity Rs 14L
MF Rs 12L
NPS Rs 1L

Concerns:

Direct equity exposure is high
Portfolio may not be diversified properly

You should:

Gradually reduce direct stock exposure if not actively tracked
Increase allocation to diversified, actively managed mutual funds
Continue NPS for retirement discipline

» Farmhouse Goal (Rs 1 Cr in 5 Years) – Critical Planning
This is a large and near-term goal

Important reality:

Equity alone is risky for 5-year horizon
Loan + investment mix required

Approach:

Start a dedicated monthly investment for this goal
Use a mix of:
Short duration / debt funds (safety)
Some hybrid funds (moderate growth)
Avoid pure equity for this goal

Also think:

How much loan you are comfortable taking later
Try to build at least 40–50% from your own corpus

» Retirement Planning – 20 Years Horizon
You are well placed here

Action steps:

Increase MF SIP regularly (step-up every year)
Keep strong allocation to equity for long term
Use NPS as additional disciplined retirement tool

Target:

Build a corpus that can replace your lifestyle income

» Cash Flow Optimisation – Big Opportunity
Income: Rs 3.5 lakh
Expense + EMI: ~Rs 1.2 lakh

You have large surplus

Use this wisely:

Increase SIP significantly
Allocate separately for:
Retirement
Farmhouse
Child/family goals if any

» Risk Protection – Already Strong

Health insurance of Rs 1 Cr is excellent

But check:

Do you have adequate term insurance?
If not:
Take pure term plan (independent of LIC)

» Finally

Do not rush to surrender LIC, evaluate and then make paid-up if needed
Increase emergency fund
Balance loan prepayment and investments
Reduce direct equity risk, increase diversified MF exposure
Plan farmhouse separately with lower-risk investments
Increase SIPs – your biggest strength is surplus income

If you follow this structure, you can achieve both lifestyle goals and retirement without stress.
