There are super saver accounts. If you’ve amount > X, it automatically creates FD. The moment balance goes below X, it start liquidating FDs. Best for ego & returns.

Bhai startup me dal de :) 
  
 On serious note, try debt fund, mfs or p2p lendinh ( 33% in each )

Will check about debt funds, mutual funds I am already putting in, don’t want to bet that heavy on MFs to put everything in, P2P lending is not my game, risky stuff !

Liquidity is like aloo in biryani, necessary but not too much. Invest wisely, let your money work harder than you. Jaisa desh, waisa bhesh.

If liquidity is like Aloo in Biryani , I am emptying my bank account right now :)

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

People advice you should not keep too much money in your bank account, bank account interests does not beat inflation, so invest all money in some safe space that gives at least 8 percent interest rate on your money.

On the other hand I feel liquidity gives you a state of luxury and satisfaction that you have this much money at disposal right way, which also leads to unnecessary expenses.. 

What’s your take on this ?

Is it okay let 10 lacs lie in bank account ?

Is it okay let 10 lacs lie in bank account ?- Grapevine

As u guys know only 5L is insured, I want to know how much you’re comfortable keeping in account? Maybe someone’s living expense could be 10L a year and they are okay with keeping that as emergency fund liquid, just an instance. But given the kinds of scams and stuff that go on in wild, what is a good formula or number of Lacs to keep in bank account? Maybe u have several accounts for different purpose and u divide it? Please share your views.

Hi all,

This is in response to a survey I found on the app, where people voted mostly on reducing Tenure by prepaying their home loans.

As someone who works in lending myself, and in the light of the funding winter extending a few more Quarters, I would urge people to shore up their finances and keep control of your liquidity.

Be very careful when prepaying Home loans:
1. Loan is a service for which interest is a cost. The deciding numbers to prepay are the differential interest outgo (Loan rate-Debt fund rate) / 12 as a proportion of your monthly expense. It comes to around my monthly 1700 Rs for 10L of outstanding. 
2. DO NOT look at the total interest outgo. That is a misleading figure. Prepaying loan to save total interest over 10y is like selling your car 10y earlier to save parking costs or selling your TV to save Netflix charges. 
3. Prepaying is irreversible. If you run into cash crunch later, most probably, your financial standing and ability to get loans would decrease. Better to not prepay and enjoy the flexibility.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Just met a dear friend with 10+ yoe and earning 33L per anam. 

He doesn't want to get promoted or salary hike as he is getting enough as per need and wants to have good WLB. He is accumulating a 3cr corpus and planning to retire in 10 years in his hometown in Ranchi.

Debt free - family house in Ranchi and married with no kids - single income. 

Isn't the amount very small/too risky? Considering anything can go wrong in future and you should work really hard in 30s to avoid that as much as you can.

What's your opinion? 

Ps. He is also active here and I took permission to ask this question here

Is this new normal?

That dude has understood life, i’m 25 will do the same

Operations Manager

Every month my salary gets credited I barely spend 20% of it the rest of it is just sitting around in my bank account it's already above 5L. I keep thinking of investing it in stocks/mf but it's a lot of work 😔 

What do you guys do with your salary, it would be great if you can share your investment strategy and how do you keep yourself motivated to stick to it

What should I do with my money

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. 

Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. 

Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. 

Any suggestions???

Post tax 7 lac a month. Double income no kids, but not sure what do with all the money.

Hey - we are also similar to you. Would strongly suggest finding something you’re passionate about. 
  
 For us (primarily me) - got a dog, took a 6 month sabbatical, travelled to 30+ countries in this time, left job to pursue startup idea, spend time with parents, learn language, improve fitness, learnt some coding, etc 
  
 It’s a pretty good position to be in - just explore I’d say

Strategy & Operations

Hello community, 

I wanted to know how you guys manage your money? Like those with 10+ years of experience having more than 20 30 lakhs, what do you do with that money? 
Do you invest, put the money in the bank. And how do you feel safe about it.

Recently, one of my neighbors' bank accounts got freezed out of nowhere, thus the ask.

Would love to know about how you guys handle big chunks of money.

Managing Money

To be very honest I feel very frustrated looking at the situation right now. Companies are laying off without worrying about the employees. It's just corporate profits everywhere.

I am scared to death that my career won't last long than 20 years because the moment these folks think you are becoming a financial burden on them, they'll lay you off.

I don't want to live my life in a constant war mode. The Indian education system has bruised my personality for a long time. I want to relax but looking at this battlefield I can never.

My weekends are spent worrying about planning for finances in case I get laid off. I am worried I won't be able to buy a house.

This shit is depressing me very much. Other folks please tell me how are you navigating this mess?

Soulless Corporations

Mandatory : keep on up skilling 
 Optional :  go outside India or move to operational roles(as it doesn't need creativity bone)  
  
 In your 30's you shouldn't explore stuff, stick with one domain(example : digital marketer) be the SME. In 40s you'll have 10+ years experience of a domain, and you're part of that domains evolution  
  
 No one wil have the know how you gained in 10 years

Hello folks. While I'd like to remain anonymous very much, here's what I can share about myself.

1. Working in consumer finance.
2. Love personal finance and helping people out with it.
3. Have published 10,000+ pieces of financial content in the mainstream media.
4. Wrote a best-selling book on money management. It was No. 1 on Amazon once upon a time. 
5. Lately been appearing on TV regularly for personal finance discussions.
6. Saved like crazy through my 20s and 30s, brought two apartments; have an 8-figure net worth mostly thanks to my mutual fund investments. It's not much but it's hard-earned.
7. My unrealised aspiration is travel and I'm working on it now.

Just want to talk, exchange ideas, and learn from you all. Maybe I'll feature you in my next book. :)

Ask me anything.

Let's talk money habits.

Corporate Strategist

I have around 8 lakhs in my bank account, and I was thinking of buying a car worth around 15 lakhs after 6-7 months. I have a few SIPs that I've been investing in for a long time, and I was thinking of investing this money for the next 6–7 months in these SIPs. So should I buy some kind of dip instead of keeping the money in the bank? Even after short term capital tax, I could get more returns than if I kept it in the bank. Am I thinking this right, or am I missing something? Any other suggestions?

Is it okay let 10 lacs lie in bank account ?
