A Simple Money Plan for Every Individual: How to Grow Your Wealth, Stay Protected, and Be Ready for Emergencies

Rahul was 28, working in a good IT company in Chennai. His parents were proud, his friends were impressed, and his Instagram was full of beach photos, food reels, and weekend getaways. Life was good. Money was coming in, and so were the Swiggy and Zomato notifications. 

But something kept bothering him.

Every month, after paying rent, buying groceries, spending on outings, and making random online purchases, his bank account always seemed to return to the same story: Low balance alert.

One day, Rahul’s colleague Priya asked him, Have you started a SIP?

Rahul blinked. SIP? Like, tea?

She laughed. No yaar, not chai ka sip. I mean a Systematic Investment Plan.

She explained it in simple words: You invest a small amount every month in mutual funds, just like your Netflix subscription. Over time, it grows and helps you build wealth.

Now Rahul was curious. But where do I start? And what about emergencies or hospital bills? Or… what if something happens to me?

That’s when Priya gave him my contact and said, Talk to Arif. He made my financial life simple.

That same evening, I got a WhatsApp message from Rahul:
Hi, I need help with my finances. I’m earning well, but saving nothing.

We fixed a meeting over chai (the real kind), and I listened to his story. I smiled and told him, Rahul, you’re not alone. 8 out of 10 young earners in India are in the same boat. The good news? It’s fixable.

I explained to him a simple, practical 3-part formula that every Individual should follow:


Step 1: Build Wealth with SIPs
We discussed how even starting with ₹5,000 a month in SIPs can grow into lakhs over 10–15 years, thanks to the power of compounding.

Start now, I told him, so your money starts working for you while you chill on those beach holidays.

We picked two mutual funds one for long-term wealth creation and another for his short-term travel goals.


Step 2: Protect with Term and Health Insurance
I asked him, Rahul, you’re the only earning member of your family, right?

He nodded.

What happens to your parents if something happens to you?

He became silent.

That’s when I explained why term insurance is not optional it’s essential. It costs less than a pizza per month but can secure his family’s future with a ₹1 crore cover.

Then I asked, Do you know how much a hospital bill costs today?

He guessed ₹10,000.

I smiled and said, Try ₹2–3 lakhs for a moderate surgery.

We got him a good health insurance plan, covering him now, and his parents later.


Step 3: Be Ready with an Emergency Fund
I asked him, What happens if your company suddenly lets you go, or if there’s a medical need before your insurance kicks in?

He shrugged.

That’s why an emergency fund is important at least 6 months of expenses if not more, kept aside in a liquid fund or savings account.

We created a plan to build this emergency fund in the next 6 months, without hurting his current lifestyle.


Just a few weeks later, Rahul messaged me again.

I finally feel like I’m in control of my money. Wish I started earlier!

I replied, It’s never too late, Rahul. Most people never even start.


If you are like Rahul earning well, but confused or anxious about the future then this is your reminder.

It’s time to build your own simple money plan with:

SIP for Wealth Creation
Term Insurance for Family Protection
Health Insurance for Medical Security
Emergency Fund for Peace of Mind

And don’t worry you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

I help people just like you with simple and smart financial planning, tailored for your life and goals.
