Fundamental rules - personal finance

-

Some of the fundamental rules one has to look upon when handling personal finance in the journey towards financial freedom are: 

  1. Have health insurance covering all the family members and a term life insurance for the one whom the family is mainly dependent upon based on your debt and obligations.
  2. Keep aside an emergency fund that may last at least about 6-12 months of your monthly expenses (below age 50) and 12-24 months of your monthly expenses (above age 50).
  3. Invest in appreciating asset classes in a disciplined and consistent manner by understanding your risk appetite, various financial goals, and time horizon.

    One of the most important things in life I am sure most of you agree is personal finance. The importance of personal finance was quite evident when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and people were literally in a state of panic and distress as to how to overcome the challenges faced during this period. In my opinion, it was a good reminder to everyone who went through this process that the importance of personal finance management is very crucial in life and earlier we start better is the results.   To begin with this topic, one has to ask a very basic question to himself/herself about the current net worth.

Masters Abroad!!! sounds awesome, isn't it? Well, it is for some extent, but it takes huge man-hours and effort to actually get there. The process takes place in major three steps: Phase –1: primary preparation starts with selecting the master's program and country, entrance exam/language test, application writing, funding (about 6 to 12 months). Phase –2: it's the period where you actually go and get introduced to new country, people, culture, weather, language, food, and most importantly education system (about 2 years/depends on your study program).

I am pretty sure most of you might wonder how one can build his wealth? How to increase the mainstream of income? How to invest in different financial instruments? Well, I will try to answer your questions here in this post. As mentioned in the previous blog post 'Personal Finance Management (Part - 1)' the main key objectives of saving and investing is: Save for the rainy day. Beat the inflation. To experience the power of compounding. Before understanding saving and investing, one needs to know about his psychology towards money. We humans naturally tend to express fear and greediness every occasion we come across a new financial instrument.

As mentioned in my earlier post before picking any financial instrument it is the trade-off betwee...
