It is not only important to invest, but also to choose your investment plans wisely.

It is very important to start planning for retirement or for financial stability in the event of a partner’s death.

How much budget:

Many women in India still depend on their husbands for financial decisions. With growing complexities in life, it is advisable for a woman to take charge of her financial life as she may be in a better position to predict her needs going ahead. For this, making a budget that fits one’s requirement with ease and should be flexible enough to accommodate needs with time. It is advisable to start as early as possible and select investment options which will also help you save in taxes.

Review progress on savings and investments regularly:

After carefully planning and investing, the next, and constant, step is to review your finances regularly. You need to be on the top of your investment when it comes to managing finances with respect to the changes in your life — marriage, becoming a parent, career changes, moving abroad/shift, and so on. Then there are other (statutory) changes that are beyond one’s control — changes in tax laws, interest rates, inflation rates, stock market volatility, and recession — so make sure you plan ahead of time and are always ready to accommodate these changes.
