Most families handle money reactively—paying bills, making random investments, buying insurance when pushed. Without a plan, you're navigating blind.
The solution: A written plan covering goals, timelines, required savings, risk coverage, and investment strategy—turning financial chaos into clarity.

Chasing past returns: Last year's top performer is rarely next year's winner. Timing the market: Trying to predict ups and downs destroys wealth.
The fix: Invest based on your goals and risk capacity, not market noise. Stay invested through cycles. Review annually, not daily.

How much: 3-6 months of essential expenses (rent, EMIs, groceries, bills). Where: Savings account, liquid funds—not equity or fixed deposits.
Why it matters: Job loss, medical emergency, urgent home repairs—life happens. An emergency fund prevents financial disasters.

Coverage needed: 15-20x your annual income—enough to replace your income for 15-20 years. Cost: Surprisingly affordable—₹10-15k/year for ₹1 crore cover.
Critical mistake: Buying LIC endowment/ULIP thinking it's insurance. Pure term insurance is what your family needs.

Reality check: ₹50,000/month today = ₹1.6 lakh/month in 30 years (4% inflation). You'll need ₹4-5 crore corpus minimum for a comfortable retirement.
Power of early start: Investing ₹20k/month from age 30 beats ₹50k/month from age 45—time is your biggest advantage.

Old regime: Use 80C (ELSS, PPF, EPF), HRA, 80D (health insurance), NPS (80CCD)—save up to ₹1.5 lakh tax. New regime: Lower rates, fewer deductions.
Smart move: Calculate which regime saves more. Don't invest just for tax—invest for goals, save tax as a bonus.
