• Have a reserve on your savings for contingency and urgent situations.
• Do not let this sentence scare you. “Mutual fund investment are subject to market risk. Please read the offer documents carefully before investing”. Most people avoid investing in mutual funds just because of this one warning. Yes, there is a market risk, but look at the history and growth of mutual funds.

Do not invest all your money

• Atleast 20% of your wealth should be liquid so you can utilize it when necessary.
• Considering inflation, you are actually losing money if it is in savings bank account. Do not keep huge money in savings bank account.

Be cautious before investing in Shares and stocks

• If you invest in stocks, pay due attention.
• Have a separate account for delivery investment  and Intraday investment. It is easy to monitor this way and also makes tax calculation easy.

Do Not

• Never use credit cards for lavish spending. Use credit cards intelligently and for needs not for wants.

Invest in yourself and your family’s future

• Your personal life and health are the most important investment. Do have a regular health check and take care of yourself.
• Always remember death can come anytime. Make adequate term Insurance, if you have dependents.
• Plan and prepare your will, in advance
