Your new Money Moves!

Hey New girl, firstly, kudos on savings! You’ve started your journey of being financially prudent!! But is saving your money enough? 

“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.” 

Year on year, the prices of goods and services rise, decreasing the 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 saving is NOT really growing your money, it’s storing it away which honey is not the smartest thing to do! 

So ladies, let’s get down to business!

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.
