Education Planning Mistakes

Late Start

"10 saal baad sochenge" — Compound interest ka time chahiye.

Only Insurance Child Plans

ULIP child plans expensive hain. Term insurance + SIP better hai.

No Inflation Adjustment

₹20 lakh aaj hai, 15 saal baad ₹64 lakh hoga. Inflation factor karo.

Education Loan Pe Depend

Education loan last option hai. Pehle savings karo.
