  • If your parents are like me, you have been told..

  • 'Beta, get a job after graduation and stay loyal to that company until you retire.'

  • And the only financial advice you got

  • was, 'How to write a check'

  • With this Golden Knowledge, at the age of 21, I became a Software Engineer

  • at an I.T company that was literally paying me peanuts.

  • The money was bad, salary hike was almost zero,

  • work was pathetic

  • and my growth was stagnant.

  • Every month my salary would barely survive the end of the month.

  • But a girl needs money..

  • To study further, to travel,

  • to save for emergencies,

  • to buy a house, to save for retirement.

  • But most importantly, I needed money so that I can make my own life decisions

  • without having to depend on someone else.

  • We all talk about gender equality.

  • But it will come only when we first become financially independent.

  • And trust me, a 9 to 7 job is not going to get you that independence.

  • And yet, I am the only one in my family who

  • bought a house before turning 25.

  • And for that, you don't need to work for 10 hours everyday.

  • You need to make smart financial decisions.

  • And trust me, this is something that every girl should know.

  • Because, not only will it help your career

  • but it also changes the dynamics of the relationships you are in.

  • Be it mother, daughter or wife.

  • Because you will not be treated as a dependent anymore.

  • So girls, no matter if you are 20, 30 or 40.

  • By the end of this video, I will tell you

  • even if you have more responsibilities, low income, debt, taxes, how you can start investing now.

  • Because it's not about how much money you make.

  • It's about what you do with it.

  • But before that, if you like what I am saying,

  • then hit that big fat LIKE button

  • because that will motivate me to keep making more videos.

  • Let's begin.

  • So ladies, you can spend money on 2 things.

  • Assets and Liabilities.

  • Liabilities are something that take money away from you.

  • Like for example, if you have a car

  • you have to pay for it's gas, it's maintenance.

  • It's not making you any money. So, that's a liability.

  • On the other hand, assets make money for you.

  • For example, if you have a small apartment

  • and people are paying you rent every month - that's an asset.

  • If you write a blog, article or make a YouTube video that's generating you revenue even after

  • years of you creating it - that's an asset.

  • Mutual Funds, Stocks, even Solar Panels that you install, because

  • they will save you electricity in the future.

  • All of these are assets.

  • If you want to be financially independent

  • you need to have more assets than liabilities.

  • Sure you can spend money on some liabilities like an iPhone or an iPad

  • but before that you should first have more money coming in than going out.

  • So to ensure that you have more money coming in,

  • today we are going to discuss, different investment options available.

  • And by the end of this video, as a bonus, I'll also tell you

  • how to divide your money in these investment options

  • so that you get the best returns and eventually

  • your 'Apna Ghar'.

  • Saving Options can be divided into 2 categories.

  • Short-Term (0 to 5 Years) and Long Term (5+ Years).

  • We are going to analyse each saving option based on 3 parameters.

  • 1) Liquidity. Suppose you have an emergency and need money right away.

  • Then how soon can you get that money from that investment, is called liquidity.

  • 2. Risk, which is the possibility that you might not get all of your money back.

  • 3. Returns, which is how much can your money grow.

  • Let's start with Short-Term Options.

  • Now, the first Short-Term option to save is obviously in the form of Cash.

  • Any notes that you see lying around and is yours,

  • save it.

  • Cash is available whenever you want to use them,

  • so that makes it's liquidity, HIGH.

  • The risk is LOW. It's not zero because somebody can still steal your cash.

  • And returns are also ZERO.

  • Why?

  • Because if you leave your cash in your purse for 5 years, it's not going to grow by itself.

  • So that makes returns, Zero.

  • Fixed Deposit, is when you give the bank, a certain amount for a Fixed Period.

  • But at a higher interest rate than a Savings Account.

  • For example, SBI gives somewhere around 4% for Savings Account

  • but for a Fixed Deposit, it ranges anywhere between 5.75% to 6.75%.

  • And it depends on how long are you giving your money for.

  • Are you giving it for 7 Days, 6 Months, 1 Year.

  • Now, coming to it's parameters.

  • Liquidity is HIGH.

  • Because even if you don't want to wait for those 7 days, 6 months or 1 Year

  • you can withdraw your money anytime you want.

  • Risk is ZERO.

  • Because your money is safe with the bank and the bank has to return your money back, along with interest.

  • And returns are LOW.

  • Because the interest rate is around 5% to 7%.

  • But remember, if you withdraw your money before your Lock-Down Period then the bank

  • will return your money at a slightly lesser interest rate.

  • Now there is something called as a 'Recurring Deposit'

  • which is just like a Fixed Deposit.

  • The only difference is, in Fixed Deposit, you put money just once.

  • But in Recurring Deposit, you put it every month.

  • For example, if you have decided on Rs. 500/-.

  • Then Rs. 500/- every month from your Savings Account will directly move to your Recurring Deposit amount,

  • which is actually a great option because it instills Financial Discipline in you.

  • You know that every month you have to save this much.

  • Now before we move on to Long-Term Saving Options,

  • let's talk about something that's even more important

  • and that's Health Insurance.

  • This is the first thing that you should invest in because frankly, life is unpredictable.

  • If tomorrow God-Forbid, you have an accident or you are recovering from an ailment

  • then you don't want to beg for money

  • and spend the rest of your life paying that debt.

  • Which is why a Medical Insurance becomes extremely important.

  • If your company doesn't provide it, then get one for yourself and your family.

  • You have to pay around Rs. 5000 to Rs. 7000 every year, which is like nothing.

  • And you will be insured a sum of 4-5 Lakhs to cover your Medical Bills, depending on the policy you take.

  • Moving on.

  • So far we have discussed the Short-Term investment options

  • where you work for money and then save it.

  • But if you save for long term,

  • your money will start working for you.

  • Here are your Long-Term Investment options.

  • What is Mutual Funds?

  • Mutual Funds collects money from people like us.

  • Rs. 500/- from me, Rs. 500/- from you

  • and creates a 'Money Pool'.

  • A fund manager then uses this 'Pool' to invest in Stocks, Bonds, Assets.

  • You don't have to worry about where it is being invested because the Fund Manager takes care of it for a commission of 1% to 2%.

  • Now if you want to invest Long-Term

  • this is a great option because instead of sitting idle, your money is actually doing something.

  • You can either invest in Mutual Funds just once

  • or you can chose a SIP - Systematic Investment Plan

  • where every month a fixed amount, say Rs. 500/- will move from your Bank Account to Mutual Funds.

  • Coming to it's parameters. Liquidity is MEDIUM, because it takes around 1-3 days for you to get your money back from Mutual Funds.

  • Risk is MEDIUM.

  • 'Mutual Funds are subject to market risk. Read the offer document carefully before investing', is correct.

  • Mutual Funds come with a little bit of risk.

  • But as long as you do your research and invest in Long-Term, you should be fine.

  • And returns are also MEDIUM. On an average, in the past, returns have been around 12% to 14%.

  • If you want to know more about Mutual Funds, check out MutualFundsSahiHai.com

  • and if you want me to make a separate video explaining how to invest in Mutual Funds,

  • then comment and let me know.

  • 2. Real-Estate. Is investing in Real-Estate a good option?

  • Depends.

  • See, if you buy a house and are staying in it then it is not an asset because it's not making you any money.

  • But if you buy a house, put it on rent and are using that money to invest somewhere else, then it is an asset.

  • Buying a house in the city, does not make sense.

  • Because here the prices are too high, rents are low and a city is pretty stagnant.

  • But if you buy a house somewhere in the outskirts then there is a possibility

  • that if civilization moves there, then the price of that house will increase drastically.

  • So there is a risk.

  • It may happen. It may never happen.

  • And if you want to buy a house then a friend of mine Ravi, who works in the Equity Market

  • and is also pretty great at investments

  • says that this is something you should decide after you have turned 25.

  • Because that is when you will have a better understanding of finance,

  • your future plans, where you want to settle.

  • Because it's foolish to get tied down to a home loan if you first need money to study abroad.

  • Coming to it's parameters.

  • Liquidity is LOW because it takes more than a Year to sell your house and get your money back.

  • Risk is Medium because you cannot be sure how the price of your house will fluctuate.

  • And returns are from 0 to Medium, depending on

  • whether you are staying in it or are putting it out on rent.

  • Clearly house is not a great investment.

  • But 'apna' ghar, apna ghar hota hai..

  • is a sentiment that most of us have, which is the reason why house prices have gone up drastically.

  • So I am going to tell you how to get your dream house.

  • But before that, the Bonus part.

  • Now that we have discussed various Investment options,

  • I am going to tell you how to divide your money in these investment options to get the best possible returns.

  • So that you finally have your Dream Education, Dream Vacation and that 'Apna Ghar'.

  • This is the division.

  • In cash, you should always have 10K.

  • Incase you have to pay the maid or any other expenses, 10K is max.

  • In your Savings Account, keep 50K.

  • Incase of an emergency, you can just swipe a card and take it out.

  • Now how much money should you put in your Mutual Funds and FD?

  • First, make a Monthly Expense sheet and figure out how much money you spend every month.

  • Lets assume it's 50K.

  • Now your Mutual Funds and FD together should have atleast 4 Months of your Expenses (i.e 2 Lakhs).

  • Why 4 Months?

  • Suppose tomorrow you lose your job.

  • It will take around 3-4 Months to get re-employed.

  • And until then, you should have 3-4 Months of expenses, stored as buffer to support you.

  • Now only after you meet the first 3 criteria, should you even think about buying a Dream House.

  • Why? I'll tell you.

  • Let's assume your Dream House costs 1 Crore.

  • You will get a Home Loan for 80% of the house.

  • 20%, you will have to pay.

  • Then there will be Registration Cost, Interior Cost that we are not even considering right now.

  • So if you want to buy a house worth 1 Crore, these are the things that you must already have.

  • 1. 20% of the House Cost which means 20 Lakhs, you should already have in your

  • Mutual Funds, FD and Savings Account.

  • 2. And the most important point, you should have the ability to pay EMI

  • for those 80 Lakhs, which is roughly around 80K per month.

  • I did not do any of these calculations

  • and still bought a house before turning 25.

  • See, we belonged to a Middle-Class family.

  • My mother always wanted a 'Apna Ghar'.

  • So as soon as I joined a job, I decided,

  • 'I am going to buy my mom a house!'

  • I spent all my savings, bought a Loan

  • and I stuck to a job I did not like for 4 more years, just to repay that loan.

  • And the worst part.

  • It's a small house at a place far-far away

  • because at that time, that's all I could afford.

  • Sometimes, we make foolish financial decisions

  • not only because we are bogged down by Financial Debts,

  • but also Emotional Debts.

  • So incase you are young, explain it to your parents

  • how it is better to stay at a rented place right now and invest in a Long-Term Plan

  • instead of being tied to a Home Loan right away.

  • At 30, I invested in a Second House along with my husband.

  • It is still not an asset, because are staying in it.

  • But now we understand Finance better.

  • So we have our savings and the Home Loan is also going comfortably, hand in hand.

  • Plus, it is our Dream House. We bought it after 1 Year of extensive research.

  • It's at the exact location, of the exact size and of the exact price.

  • So if you want to learn anything from my story, it's..

  • a) Don't buy a house before turning 25.

  • b) Invest Long-Term in things that don't require a lot of your time but also have a lot of earning potential.

  • You have watched this video so far.

  • Which means you have invested your time in me.

  • Which means you like me.

  • So make sure you Subscribe to my YOUTUBE Channel and hit that Bell Icon!

  • Because soon I will make a video on, how to Save Money so that you can invest at all these places.

  • As you can see, I saved my money so that I can buy this house.

  • I want to know what you are saving up for.

  • Camera, Education, Car?

  • Comment and let me know. I am waiting to read your comments.

  • Also, share this video with people who have no money at the end of every month

  • so that even they can start saving.

  • I am gonna see you again next week, until then

  • Keep Fighting, The Urban Fight, to be FIT!

If your parents are like me, you have been told..
