1. Children’s higher education is always on the top of financial goals. Thankfully, most Indians understand that the higher education is going to cost a lot in the coming years. Most experts believe that education inflation is on the higher double-digit. So, it make immense sense to plan for it. How do you do it. Here is the easy way out. First, found out how much the course costs now. Next, find out the inflation number. Just inflate the course fee for the number of years and you will have your target corpus. 3. In some cases, you may not be in a position to find out the course fee because you were not sure about your kid’s preferences. In such instances, choose a course that you think she is going to choose. The next step is to find out how much you need to invest every month to achieve your target corpus. 4.If you do not have the risk appetite, you should opt for debt mutual funds or bank deposits. In that case, you may have to save more every month as these investments may not fetch you double-digit returns. Also, it is always better to keep a short tenure than actual time to achieve your goals.5. This is to make sure that you have enough time to transfer your money from an equity scheme to a debt scheme. For example, instead of 20 years, you can have a 15-year horizon. This will help you to save transfer your target corpus accumulated in an equity scheme to a safer avenue like debt mutual funds or bank deposit.
