I've reached a point in my life where I need some guidance to create change in my life or it could keep going on like this forever (being in constant piles of debt). I'm trying to seek help from a financial advisor of some sort but never done this before. How can I start out? Where should I look for help?

Anyone took personal loan from HDFC !!
What are their interest rates and charges ?
Which bank is best for personal loan considering all charges/ interest rates and all ??

Currently 25 years old.
Goals:
* Own a home in a HCOL
* 2 kids (eventually)
* Retire at 50 on $125k/year.

Envelope math:
* $125k/year would require an investment portfolio of ~$3M.
* Targeting a $2M home (split with partner)
* 2 kids - $1M to raise both (including college fund, split with partner)
* $500K buffer for unexpected expenses
* 33% tax

Therefore, 6.5-7M retirement savings needed. To hit this (assuming 6% return after inflation), I’d need to save ~$110k/year.

How does this sound?
