When it comes to Financial Products, it is more important to know what not to buy rather than what to buy. One simple thumb rule is, whenever you buy any insurance/investment product, you should do mental mapping of it to meet your family’s financial needs in future. Those needs include children’s education, retirement, health-care, disablement etc. If you can’t map it to any need, but if you still buy it for other reasons like saving taxes, you will be committing a mistake. Few such mistakes can cost you peace of mind in future as you will end up in fire-fighting to meet your needs then! Find above a comic strip on this and we hope you enjoy it.

When it comes to managing your personal/family finances, it is not as easy as preached by pink papers, money magazines, business news channels and blogs. If you have a full-time job to do, you may have to sacrifice your week-ends and after-office hours to learn about personal finances. Only when you develop it as a serious hobby, you will be able to manage your finances well and good. If not, you better seek services of a professional advisor and make sure that he not only gives unbiased recommendation on financial products but also responds promptly to your service requests. He should be like a family friend in need! Find the above comic strip on this and we hope you enjoy it.
