Off-topic: Investments

Hi, I have zero investments right now.
My salary is 1.3L per month and I manage to save around 80K monthly.
Please suggest me where should I invest as a beginner and how much into which option based on my savings?
Looking for some personal strategies which you guys went through.
TIA

First is check how much term insurance you have and take one if you don't have or its not enough.. better to take atleast 1 cr now
Make sure you have emergncy funds of 6 months salary
Next calculate how much you may need for short term like you planning to buy a car or marriage etc and put an RD for that.
Next based on ur risk appetite decide a percentage of savings for shares + mutual funds + gold+ FD. Also plan for a house or real estate you want to acquire.
if you not exhausting 80C fully u can go for other savings as well including EPF. NpS is also a good option if you planning for a retirement fund.

Start with ELSS. Open a Demat Account with Zerodha or anywhere you like, drop an amount (1.5L-your yearly PF) into ELSS mutual fund to exhaust 80C. Get a feel of it, rest financial decisions will follow once you make take the first step. This is the easiest to start with.

If ELSS never go for zerodha.. i would suggest much simpler and easier options.. if you just want to invest in mutual funds and do not have much knowledge go for scripbox.. if you want to invest in MF and shares also go for upstox

I think this generation has finally understood that it's not worth preparing for govt jobs like UPSC, RBI, SEBI, SSC job, even state PCS.

Earlier they used to sacrifice important 3-4-5 yrs for such jobs but now people want to work more in Corporate rather than wasting their lives for such govt jobs which doesn't even have any significant future as compared to an IT job.

Is this true or people are still running after these govt jobs? I can see the mindset shift from Govt to Corporate jobs.
