5 Elements of Financial Planning

2. Debt-free life
3. Multiple income sources
4. Cash-flow planning
5. Retirement planning

Each of these is extremely important and will answer your question. The emergency fund will help you in the event of a job loss or cash crunch. Start investing in a 6-month view. You can invest in Emergency Mutual Funds.

Get Insured
The first and foremost thing is taking a term insurance plan. Plans vary according to the sum that one wants to get insured for. Most young professionals have financially inadequate term plans. Only one out of five people have term plans. According to a study, India has a low IPQ or India Protection Quotient at 35 pct. We are way below when it comes to getting insurance.

Only 44 pct millennials have awareness about term insurance and only 17 pct have term insurance plan. Around 22 pct of millennials living in the city are not interested in life insurance.

Have Lots Of Money After Retirement
Financial planning is important as your income is limited when you just start earning and also after retirement. Your savings and investments can bail you out after retirement. The interest in savings accounts is only around 4%, in general.

Keep some part of your income for your retirement. Do retirement planning while you are working.
