Do you regret collecting four different tax saving instruments/funds chosen over the years due to this lastminute rush every year? Now, as these images run through your mind – take a step back and ask yourself – should investing decisions be made in spur-of-the-moment or done with advanced preparation and deliberation?
The tax declaration window for salaried employees generally ends in January, which is three months away and you can very well avoid making any lastminute errors.

All That You Need To Know About Health Insurance Plans Before Buying Them
The right amount of health insurance coverage goes a long way in keeping your investments and life goals on track.

Power Of Good Financial Habits
“People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.” The above quote from F.M. Alexander has struck a chord with me for various reasons. Among other things, I think, the power of good habits in the world of finance is often ignored or not given its due importance as a force which can help in long-term wealth creation. Investors predominantly tend to focus on the technical aspects of finance, current market trends, trying to decode what the experts are saying on news channels, etc. However, I would argue that adopting good financial habits alone is a sufficient condition for a lay investor to secure his or her financial future.
