The 80:20 Rule for Your Family’s Financial Well-Being

Financial well-being isn’t just about earning more—it’s about managing and protecting what you have with the right financial products.

Like many, I once made common financial mistakes, including investing in ULIPs without understanding their high costs and inefficiencies. Over time, I realized that financial literacy and financial wisdom are two different things.

Through my experience, I’ve simplified financial planning into three essential baskets that cover 80% of your family’s financial well-being.


📌 The 3 Essential Financial Baskets

1️⃣ Savings Basket: Secure Your Short-Term Needs

💡 Purpose: Covers short-term goals (1-3 years) & emergency funds

Liquid funds & Flexi Fixed Deposits (FDs) ensure easy access to cash when needed
✅ Aim to have 6-12 months’ worth of expenses set aside for unexpected financial situations


2️⃣ Investment Basket: Build Long-Term Wealth

💡 Purpose: Secures your future & long-term goals (5+ years)

Equity Mutual Funds (SIPs & Lump Sum) – Best for wealth creation & financial security
Align investments with personal aspirations (children’s education, home purchase, retirement)

This ensures your wealth grows ahead of inflation while keeping your financial future secure.


3️⃣ Insurance Basket: Protect What You Have

💡 Purpose: Provides financial security for you and your family

Term Insurance: Coverage should be at least 200 times your monthly income
Health Insurance: Ideal coverage should be ₹25-50 Lacs, preferably ₹1 Crore

Insurance is not an expense—it’s a safety net that protects your wealth and ensures your family’s stability in unforeseen circumstances.
