get your basics right
No investment makes sense if you do not have an adequate life insurance cover and a health insurance. Sushil Jain, National Head, Financial Planning, Bajaj Capital, Delhi, alerts, “A medical condition or life-taking mishap may occur to anyone at any point of time, and in the absence of life and health insurance, your lifelong savings can be wiped away.” You also need to have a separate fund for a health emergency.
Health Insurance: If you have not done it yet, place a request to include your kid in your existing health insurance policy.
