I plan to shift my parents' savings into bonds and mutual funds. What challenges did you have to face if you've done this? Just curious to know about any significant hurdles so I can be aware of it before I jump in.

Honestly, the biggest hurdle I faced was my parents overcoming their resistance to change, as they were accustomed to traditional investments like fixed deposits and were hesitant to embrace the perceived risks associated with mutual funds. I had to educate them about the benefits of diversification and the importance of aligning their investments with their long-term financial goals, which required patience and clear communication until they felt comfortable with the new strategy.

How often do you and your SO text/talk during the days you’re not together?

And how would you communicate to them that you want a bit more check-in/form of communication without coming off as needy
