I am 35yrs earn 2L per month. I got ~1cr into a balanced investment (PPF/NPS/Equity/Gold), a debt-free Home, no loans, and a working wife earning ~25K per month. No dependency - my family and her family, our Siblings are financially independent. No kids. and no planning. Monthly expenses max 40K.

So my question is - Should I opt for life insurance?

You are already 35. You should reconsider thinking about this. Becoming pregent or pregnancy complications become an issue as you age evey year. If you had you financial issues it was still understandable.

Yes! It's simple as there's no guarantee of life!

Yes opt for term life insurance with riders until 65-70 years of age and if possible explore options like limited premium pay or plan to pay every year until coverage ceases to exist

do you smoke ?

if yes skip insurance.

If no take a small term insurance

Because everyone talks about taking insurance, no on talks about how insurance claims are rejected and what is rejection %

from most what I have heard Insurance company will find something or other to reject your claim.

We are currently DINK family, but soon to be a DIOK family. Opt for a term insurance and a medical insurance. It should be enough. I currently have a TI of 2.5 CR and Partner has 1.5 Cr along with a 10L base + 90L super top-up HI.

We are also building a Medical expenses only fund of 25L incase the claims are rejected. You never know what the future holds! It's best to be prepared.

If I get stocks A & B at $50. In a month I sell one at $25 and the other at $75, do I still owe tax?

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
