Five Thumb rules for your Money

1)      How much (or what percentage of total investment) should I invest in equities?

100 minus your age = investment in Equities

Example: Your age is 28. So 100 – 28 = 72 % of your investments can be in Equity, balance Debt investment.  

2)      How much of my monthly take home salary should I save?
   
             Minimum of 15 to 20 % of your Monthly take home should be saved.

3)      How much loan I can take?

Maximum 10 % of your monthly take home should be your monthly loan installment.

4)      How much emergency cash should I have?

Minimum of 4 to 6 months expenses should be kept aside as emergency fund.

5)      How much Insurance Coverage should I have?

     Minimum of 5 to 10 times of your annual salary
