Money investment plan in Banks

Money investment plan in Banks

Investment planning is an alien concept for the Indian populace. For a country which till now was worried about making ends meet this emerging trend is definitely a new experience. But, the truth is that if only they would have been introduced to the Art of Managing Money, life could have been so much easier. Most of us spend more than half of our lives working and saving because money is important, in fact crucial. However, most of us spend almost no time planning to make that hard-earned money work more effectively for us. So, how do you plan your financial life?

What is investment planning? Financial planning is nothing but an assessment of your goals and the steps you must take to help make them a reality.   What you first need to figure out..........  

What is it that you want? Is your wish to retire with a sound lumpsum amount or do you want a steady monthly income. Is your son's education or daughters' marriage worrying you? The key is to figure out your goals.  

Where is your money going? The most important thing is that you should where your money is going. Zero on your monthly and annual expenses.  

Why should you invest? You should invest so that your money grows and shields you against rising inflation. If prices rise by four per cent annually it would not be sufficient if your savings only give you a return of three per cent. It leaves you with a deficit of one per cent. The idea is that your rate of return on investments should be greater than the rate of inflation, leaving you with a nice surplus over a period of time.   Whether your money is invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or certificates of deposit (CD), the end result is to create wealth for retirement, marriage, college fees, vacations, better standard of living or to just pass on the money to the next generation. Also, it's exciting to review your investment returns and to see how they are accumulating at a faster rate than your salary.
