Cash inflow is the lifeblood of a business and for a family too, talking about a business it comes from sources like payments from customers, receipt of a loan, and monetary infusion from an investor. And when talking about a personal finance it comes from a person’s salary, savings account, and investment.

Rule no. 1 How Much to Save This is the first point and getting this right will lead to the basis of your positive household cash flows. Start by the calculation- income you get in hand and subtract a portion which you get by your savings. For a healthy financial life, one needs to save a minimum of 20% of his/her monthly income. However, one can definitely increase the percentage towards saving and making a 40% saving is really considered good from the take-home monthly income. But, this totally depends on your life-cycle and responsibilities. “If one has a number of responsibilities, the savings ratio will be lower. But generally, 20-40% is always a good range. Rule no. 2 How Much to Invest Your calculation of how much to save can come with better results when invested in the right way. Invest your savings to make them grow so that it can provide you more returns. But it is very important to have the right amount of investments that too at different places and asset classes to reach your financial goals. Asset allocation is important as it helps in diversifying and minimizing your risk and prevents a major setback if one of the assets witnesses a downturn. Physical assets Gold and real estate are the two physical assets on which generally people invest in India. But for better results, the physical asset should not be your only investment option. Investment in gold and real estate should not be more than one-third of your investment. And it doesn’t include the property in which you are living in.
