As a young professional in your 20s living in a tier 1 or tier 2 city in India, it is important to consider your long-term financial goals and develop an investment strategy to help you achieve them. This can include starting early to take advantage of compound interest, setting financial goals, diversifying your portfolio, considering tax-saving investments, and seeking professional advice. It is also important to save at least 20% of your income for long-term goals and consider health and life risks by purchasing appropriate insurance coverage. As you plan for your future, be sure to factor in life events such as marriage, home ownership, and children’s education and marriage into your investment strategy.
