Investor Balances SIPs, Weddings, and Home Construction
Someone is investing a lot of money each month but has big expenses coming up like a house and weddings.
An expert says they should change some investments to safer options to make sure they have the money when they need it.
They should also build a safety net of savings first.
The advice is to sell some investments for the house and get loans if needed, using safe investments for weddings.
A 28-year-old with ₹1.4L/month income invests ₹70K monthly in equity SIPs.
Upcoming expenses include home construction (₹15-20L) and two weddings (₹18-22L) in 2 years.
Expert suggests shifting a portion of equity SIPs to debt/liquid funds for short-term needs.
Priorities are building an emergency fund and investing in liquid/debt funds for wedding goals.
The plan involves selling a portion of mutual funds and using loans.
