Workshop Q&A
No, insurance is not an investment. When you invest your money, you expect your money to grow and give your returns. Insurance is a protection, it protects you and your family in emergencies. But both are equally important in terms of financial planning.
Savings is the difference between your monthly income and expenses. Whereas, investing is when you put that money in various asset classes which gives you a return and you end up creating wealth. So yes, it is important to invest your savings.
Understand your income and expenses, decide on how much amount you will need in the future considering inflation, this will bring you to the fixed amount which will be required at the time of retirement. Then start investing your money as per it.
There is no right proportion, it depends up-on your financial goals. Each financial goal has specific tenure and the required corpus.
