you can act on today.
Save first, spend later. Automate your savings on salary day — before you touch the money.

Time in the market beats timing the market. A ₹5,000/month SIP for 25 years at 12% = ₹94 lakh.
Name your goals. "Meghna's IIT fund" is more powerful than "education savings."
Review your financial plan once a year — or when a major life event happens (job change, new baby, inheritance).
