As the nation completes 75 years of independence, we have come a far way in many sectors of the economy. Be it education, healthcare or agriculture, India has forged its own way ahead. While many of the nation’s citizens see no barrier too high for dreams, others remain hampered by the lack of finances. Financial freedom is one aspect that many people still yearn for. The term ‘financial freedom’ can mean different things for different individuals. But what it denotes is that people have the means to achieve their dreams without being driven constantly to fulfil their monetary requirements.
This Independence Day, here are five tips that can help you achieve financial freedom:
1. Start planning your finances early:
You should start saving early in life. Make sure you figure out a systematic investment plan that is both manageable and gives you adequate returns.
2. Make sure you have some clear financial goals in mind:
You will have to chalk out your aims and set some clear financial targets that you must achieve. It is only by setting up some concrete aims that you will be able to plan how to go about fulfilling them. You can then search for investment options that allow you to reach your financial goals.
3. Monitor your plans:
Whatever schemes or plans that you have invested in, be it mutual funds, stocks, bonds or something else, do ensure that you keep a regular check on the returns you are getting. Sometimes the plans you have invested in may look good on paper, but will not give you the expected returns. In this case, it is better to find out another plan or exit the one you are currently in so that you do not incur heavy losses in the future.
4. Keep a check on expenses:
To save more money for investment purposes, you will have to cut down on your expenses. Try to limit indulging in luxuries. While many of us are fans of retail therapy, keeping a check on impulse buys is the need of the hour.
5. Buy an insurance plan:
Make sure you buy a good insurance policy, even if you feel like you do not need health or life insurance. These policies can protect you and your family from financial ruin if anything unfortunate happens.
