Common Mistakes to Avoid
Critical financial oversights that reduce long-term returns
Planning for goals in today's money without inflation adjustment: A degree costing ₹25 Lakhs today will cost ~₹60 Lakhs in 15 years at 6% inflation.
Overestimating expected return rates: Assuming 18-20% constant returns can lead to severe goal underfunding.
Not stepping up monthly SIP as income increases: Keeping SIP fixed while salary grows misses a massive wealth creation opportunity.
