How much to invest TODAY for an inflation-adjusted dream wedding in 8 years? Let's break down the numbers for Rahul & Priya's big day!
A ₹35 lakh wedding today won't be the same in 8 years. Wedding costs inflate faster, often 8-10% annually. Don't underestimate this 'inflation monster'!
At 8% inflation, your ₹35 lakh wedding budget today will require nearly ₹65 lakh in 8 years! That's your true financial target.
To reach ₹65 lakh in 8 years (at 12% investment return), you need a lumpsum of ~₹26.16 lakh invested today. Time to act!
Pure lumpsum has market timing risk. A mix of initial lumpsum (e.g., ₹15L) + consistent monthly SIPs (e.g., ₹21k/month) is more robust and practical.
Choose Flexi-Cap or Index Funds for 8 years. Don't ignore inflation, delay, or be too conservative. De-risk 2-3 years out!
