Financial Planning — Quick Answers

How much emergency fund do I need?
3-6 months of monthly expenses is the standard recommendation. If your income is variable or you have dependents, aim for 6-12 months. Keep this money in a savings account, sweep-in FD, or liquid mutual fund — instant access matters more than yield. Rebuild after any drawdown.
What are the basics of a personal budget?
50/30/20 rule is a good start: 50% for needs (rent, groceries, EMI), 30% for wants (dining, travel), 20% for savings and debt repayment. Track actual spending for 2-3 months against these categories before making adjustments. Automation (auto-invest, auto-bill-pay) helps stick to the plan.
In what order should I pay off multiple loans?
Highest interest rate first (avalanche method) saves the most money mathematically. Smallest balance first (snowball method) builds motivation through quick wins. Credit card debt (usually 30-40% interest) should be prioritized either way. Refinancing high-rate loans via a personal loan can lower blended cost.
When should I start investing?
As early as possible — compounding works exponentially with time. Even Rs 2,000/month started at 25 becomes ~Rs 1 crore by 60 at 12% returns. Don't wait for 'enough' income; start with what you have. Priority: emergency fund → high-interest debt payoff → retirement + goal-based investing.
