Hi, I am 35 years of age. I am married with a 2 year old daughter and my family & I stay with my parents. We stay in 2 flats which have been combined into 1 & our building is 30 years old now. Its on the third floor(top flr) & the building has no elevator(lift) facility. The combined market value of my both flats is appx. Rs. 60 lacs. I own a car which is 9 years old now. I am earning Rs. 73000.00 per month out of which i am investing Rs.40000.00 in SIPs(my 80C investments are not included in the SIPs). My wife is earning Rs. 40000.00 per month and she is investing Rs. 34000.00  in SIPs. I dont have any liabilities/loans going on. My current mf investment valuation including all of the above is Rs. 29 lacs. My mediclaim and my term cover is all taken care of by me. I plan to buy a house & a car after 5 years. My query is simple. Based on my above financials, is my decision to buy a house later correct or will it be too late considering my loans begin at a later stage & other factors regarding my child\'s education, marriage, my retirement etc ? Pls guide Regards.

Hi, May I know few details.. Are your parents financially dependent on you? Will your spouse continue to work and earn? Is your job reasonably secured one? Based on your profile, your high priority goals can be i) Retirement goal & ii) Kid's higher education & marriage expenses .. So, suggest you to analyze your current position with respect to these goals. Are you saving/investing adequately for these goals? Will you be able to manage new EMI (home loan) + living expenses + recurring expenses + savings for long term goals easily?
