“Back in the day, I bought a house and raised a family with a salary of just Rs. 25,000”.

“Rs. 100 would get me a full week’s groceries.” 

Haven’t we all heard this from our grandparents?! Inflation is REAL, ladies! Inflation is the increase in price and fall in purchasing value of our money! And to add to it, our lifestyle habits and spending patterns actually makes relevant inflation over 8-9% for us.?

But here’s the good news, what happens when you INVEST your money? It grows, appreciates and compounds. Essentially, increasing the value of your money over time.

So let’s start with the basics. Let’s introduce you to Budgeting, our best friend. 

Step 1 of being prudent with your money is following the 50/30/20 rule of budgeting which states that you should spend upto 50% of your earnings on essentials and needs like food, housing, education, etc. not more than 30% on your wants such as travel, entertainment, shopping , etc. and save & invest at least 20% for your future!

So honey, once you’ve mastered the simple art of budgeting, you can give yourself a pat on the back and move to the next task – Financial Planning!

The 4 pillars of GOOD financial planning are 

1. Emergency Fund 
2. Retirement Fund 
3. Health & Life Insurance
4. Planning for your Future Goals 

Hold on, they may sound a little scary but THEY’RE NOT! Sharpen your pencils and bring out the calculator, because ladies, we’re getting down to business!

1. An Emergency Fund is essentially your safety net! If something goes wrong or you’re faced with an unforeseen medical or financial emergency, your emergency fund will rescue you.

The general rule of thumb is to have 6 months of your family’s expenses parked aside in a liquid and easily accessible investment avenue. 

So look no further, LXME’s ultra short term fund best suited for a time duration of 1-11 months and targets a 6% return can be used to build your emergency fund (better than Savings Account). Easy withdrawal ensures your money is accessible whenever you need it.

2. A Retirement Fund is going to ensure you maintain your lifestyle and can pay for your expenses even post earning an income. So the earlier you start building that retirement corpus, the larger it’s going to be.
