Why 80% of Indians Don't Have a Financial Plan

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.

The Costly Mistakes Investors Keep Making

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.

Term Insurance: Protection Your Family Can't Live Without

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.

Tax Planning: Save Smarter, Not Harder

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.
