I'm new to corporate and just started receiving my salary. Suggest some books (or any other resource) on personal finance (from emergency funds, pf, tax schemes to insurance, goal planning etc) for beginners.

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!
