How to start early and secure your future with financial planning for youth in India

Published on: Tue May 09 2023

As a young adult, it's essential to start thinking about your financial future early on. Whether you're a student or just starting your first job, you can begin to build a foundation for financial success by creating a plan for your money. In India, financial planning for youth is particularly important given the country's demographics and economic outlook.

Here are some steps you can take to start early and secure your future with financial planning for youth in India:

Set Financial Goals:

The first step in financial planning is to set goals for what you want to achieve. Think about what you want to accomplish financially in the short term, medium term, and long term. It could be something as simple as saving up for a new laptop, or something more significant, like buying a house or funding your education. Whatever your goals may be, make sure they're specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

Create a Budget:

Once you've set your financial goals, the next step is to create a budget. A budget is a plan for your money that helps you control your spending, save for your goals, and track your progress. Start by tracking your income and expenses for a month or two, and then categorize your spending into different areas, such as housing, food, transportation, entertainment, etc. Then, compare your income to your expenses and see where you can cut back and save.

Start Saving Early:

The earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to grow. You can start by saving a portion of your income every month towards your financial goals. Make it a habit to save first, before you start spending. You can also consider opening a savings account or investing in mutual funds, stocks, or other financial instruments that align with your goals.

Build an Emergency Fund:

Life is unpredictable, and unexpected expenses can arise at any time. Therefore, it's important to build an emergency fund that can cover your expenses for three to six months in case of a financial crisis. This fund should be kept separate from your other savings and investments and should be easily accessible.

Learn about Taxes:

Understanding how taxes work can help you save money and plan your finances better. Learn about the different types of taxes in India, such as income tax, goods and services tax (GST), and property tax. Also, find out about the tax deductions and exemptions available to you and make use of them.

Invest in Yourself:

Investing in yourself can help you achieve your financial goals faster. This could mean taking courses or certifications that enhance your skills and increase your employability or starting a side hustle that generates extra income. The more you invest in yourself, the more you can earn and save in the long run.

Seek Professional Help:

If you're not sure where to start with financial planning, or if you need help with a specific aspect of your finances, seek the advice of a professional financial advisor. A financial advisor can help you create a personalized financial plan that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.

In conclusion, financial planning for youth in India is critical for building a strong financial future. By setting financial goals, creating a budget, starting to save early, building an emergency fund, learning about taxes, investing in yourself, and seeking professional help, you can take control of your finances and achieve your financial goals. Remember, the earlier you start, the more time you have to build wealth and secure your future.
