Frequently Asked Questions
Does my home loan EMI count as a Need or Savings?
The interest is a Need while the principal builds home equity (Savings). For day-to-day cashflow safety, treat your monthly EMI as a Need so your bank account never defaults.
What if rent alone takes 40% of my salary in Indian metros?
Adopt the Indian Adaptive 60/20/20 rule: 60% Needs, 20% Wants, and 20% Savings. Never cut savings below 15-20% because inflation will erode your wealth.
