The secret to save for any financial goal

9 Mins 25 Oct 2022 0 COMMENT

Managing finances is a very personal matter, and everyone's situation is different. Everyone has different dreams, family structures, expenses, rent, obligations, and ways of life. When you take charge of your financial situation, you maintain a stress-free mindset. A strategy tailored to your specific needs, not those of someone you know, can be enormously helpful.

With LIFEY, our knowledgeable finance experts and a great system are prepared to help you assess your circumstances and assist you in creating a route to financial independence. The first step in solving these issues is to establish your financial goals.

So, what are your goals?

A beautiful home

A popular long-term financial objective is to buy a house. Homeownership is one of the biggest financial goals, whether you're saving for a down payment or striving to pay off a mortgage. The easiest way to get an affordable home loan is to keep a sizable down payment. You can save good money by avoiding the cost of private mortgage insurance if you save enough.

A financially secure retirement

You may spend your entire life attempting to save for retirement. It serves as the ideal example of a long-term investment. It's essential to think carefully about your retirement needs. Keep in mind that starting sooner will benefit you in the long run.

With LIFEY’s calculator, you can compute your retirement goals by inputting simple details such as your monthly expenses, age, retirement age, assumed inflation, lumpsum investment amount, SIP amount and tenure of SIP. The calculations are similar to the one explained in the home-buying goal.

Higher education

Saving for a child’s higher education, or even your own, is often a vital goal that many people work towards. LIFEY can help you plan your higher education financial requirements. For instance, if you want to save Rs. 20 lakhs for an MBA degree after two years, with no inflation, you will need to take out an SIP of Rs. 80,000 to reach your goal.
