I am sure, many people around you actually think this is all about it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I got my first salary, I started getting advice from my father and relatives to start investing money in small portions. In fact, many of my friends even started suggesting me some investment products.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had no idea what to do at that time, where to invest and whether should I invest or not.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gradually I grew up in life and experienced various things. I started analyzing the importance of financial planning and started reading more on that topic. To make it very simple, one should answer a couple of basic questions before investing for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first few questions to be asked are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the need of investment?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the purpose of my investment? <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I have any financial goal to achieve?<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we talk about the term <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">financial planning<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we should sit first to decide what are the goals or purposes for which one should target an investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have ever talked to a <\/span>certified financial planner<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or have attended any such workshop, you might have discovered that they never talk about any particular investment product or a company. Rather, they stress mostly on the purpose and the goal behind the investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am sure, till now you might have guessed few of the financial planning mistakes we generally do as beginners. Now, let\u2019s discuss the common financial planning mistakes people generally make while investing money, in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Clear About the Investment Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fintoo.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"551\" height=\"309\" class=\"wp-image-10821 no-lazyload\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial planning always starts with a goal. It is actually very simple to understand. When you are saving money from your earning, that means you are actually compromising with your purchasing power as per your income capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are single and have no dependants, then things might be simpler for you compared to others. But things are different when this is not the case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you ever realize how many people are depending on your earning? What are the responsibilities you have to fulfill with this income? Can you earn the same till you die or you have to start accumulating money for your retirement too?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this kind of brainstorming actually brings forth the various targets of your life which are nothing but your financial goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost everyone has a <\/span>similar set of financial goals<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like education, marriage, retirement, travel, health, etc. Few people have some additional needs based on interest.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not many people realize or sit with a pen &amp; paper to analyze their liabilities before making any investment. However, it\u2019s indeed a simple activity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g. if you want to save money for your kid\u2019s education who is just born, then you have enough time to make a huge corpus. Now considering your age is around 25-30 years who can take the maximum risk, it is good to <\/span>start investing in the stock market<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through mutual funds as the investment tenure is more than 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Understand the Importance of Life Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance is a very popular product in our country and I would say this has become a famous investment instrument due to wrong reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people buy insurance policies to save income tax and nothing else. I have many friends, who simply don&#8217;t want to understand the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">importance of a term life insurance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are just over confident with their life and income capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, this is not about your death or earning capacity. Rather, a smart call that everyone should take to protect their lives from such uncertainties. Gradually, this picture is changing in India, but still, a long way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose, you have set your goals in life like marriage, planning for kids, their upbringing, schooling, higher education, kids\u2019 marriage, world tour, retirement etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, what will happen in case you die in between? Should your family suffer and start living a compromised life as they will not be able to support their dreams due to financial incapability?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In such a case, a term insurance will protect your family\u2019s dreams and goals and make sure that even if you are not around, their dreams and lives should not stop or degrade due to lack of money.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not clear about your goals then you are bound to make a mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g. if you are the single earner of your family and don&#8217;t have a term insurance policy, but in the name of insurance you just bought a ULIP or endowment plan and save taxes, then this is your <\/span>biggest personal finance mistake<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should know the importance of life insurance and accordingly invest your money. However, if you are looking for some tax saving products, there are various ways to save income tax in India.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Analyze the Risk Taking Capability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A risk is always linked with the return from any investment. You might have read many times about this term, especially if you have the interest in stock market investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here the question is: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to know how much risk I should take on investment?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another topic where many people do mistakes. We have heard a lot from our parents about products with guaranteed return and they always suggest to invest in small deposit schemes where you will hardly get a moderate return.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is true for them as they have achieved almost every financial goal of their lives and now they need decent returns from their savings to beat the inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But think you are 20 years old and just started earning money who has to accomplish many goals in life. In such a stage, a person should be ready to take the maximum risk, as even if you lose something you have the energy to come back strongly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As your age grows and dependencies &amp; responsibilities start increasing, you should balance your portfolio by mixing both high-risk and low-risk investments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t just listen to your parents or friends who started investing in bank FDs. I am not saying that this is wrong, but the point is you should know what are the investment options you have and why you should choose that particular product, as per your financial goals and risk taking capability.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fintoo.in\/blog\/7-questions-that-will-tell-you-if-you-are-ready-to-make-investments\/\">7 Questions That Will Tell You If You Are Financially Ready to Make Investments &#8211; Fintoo Blog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying Products without Understanding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, I think I have said enough about this above and you might have already understood this point.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make it even simpler, let\u2019s take the example of buying an endowment policy. I think you also noticed that at the end of every financial year, people start looking for tax saving options.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this is the time when almost all the insurance companies become active in the business and start convincing people about their insurance policies. They portray the policy as the best investment option, which will not only give you guaranteed return but also a life insurance coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the point here is, if you have need of insurance or protection then why to buy such products? Only a term insurance plan with a higher sum assured can solve your investment need, in this case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, when you are looking for investments to save income taxes, then there are various other options like PPF account, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ELSS mutual funds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, investing in NPS, post office schemes etc. where you will get a better return and also save taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, don&#8217;t just invest your earnings, as your best friend or uncle is suggesting you to do so. It\u2019s your hard earned money and you should know where you are putting it. Ultimately your money should grow as per your expectation, otherwise, you will feel it as a mistake soon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Budgeting Monthly Expenses &amp; Income<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be thinking how come budgeting is linked with financial planning mistake? Well, let me put a very simple example to explain this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s say, you have consulted a financial planner or you have followed the DIY method and listed out your financial goals. Now it\u2019s time to take some action and start investing money to fund your savings and achieve your corpus, as per the timeline set in your financial planning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, as you have a limited salary, all of a sudden you might discover that you have short of funds to fulfill your investment targets every month. Now from where this money will come? As you have no idea how much you are spending every month and in which bracket, you can&#8217;t answer this question immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you follow a strict budget and track every single expenditure of your daily life then you can easily cross check the budget and may be cut few expenses. This will help you to increase the monthly surplus amount which you can invest further.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Budgeting is a very good practice to keep an eye on your monthly expenditures and if required to control your expenses and put that money wherever required. It also helps to stop unwanted expenses of your everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the few lessons that I have learned from my own mistakes. I think this is the best way to learn anything in life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have shared this journey here, so that you can start thinking about these points and take proper steps to set up your financial goals and invest accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please feel free to share your experiences and learning, as I believe this way we can spread the awareness on financial planning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Invest and keep regular track of your portfolio download: Fintoo App Android&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2TPeIgX\" class=\"broken_link\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2TPeIgX<\/a>&nbsp;\/ Fintoo App iOS&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/apple.co\/2Nt75LP\">http:\/\/apple.co\/2Nt75LP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you think just putting money in some investment products and getting income tax exemption is the meaning of financial planning?
