Dear KK, How have you been? Trust all is well! Suggest you to expect lower returns and then plan your investments, may be it is advisable to expect less, save more and reach the target amounts :) You may like reading my latest article @ https://www.relakhs.com/personal-financial-planning-principles/ Education inflation as quoted by you is on the higher side (especially in major cities) when compared to normal Consumption inflation rate.. I follow one portfolio for multiple goals approach. But, there is no right and wrong approach.. Your MF portfolios are good. Do track their portfolio overlaps once in a while. 38 to 40% allocation to mid/small cap funds for long-term stocks sounds ok to me.

Thanks Sree.. Sure i will increase my investments all that i mentioned are my plans for 2018. Education inflation shall i keep @ 10% or shall i reduce it.,I noticed some where in the blog / kids education calculator it was mentioned to keep at higher side..that it will be always higher compared with others.. With respect to return expectation between 13- 13.5 % because all my goals are more than 10 years, shall i keep it between 10 -12 %...which will increase my investments :(  Regards KK

Hi, Assuming higher inflation rate (especially for Education expenses) is always advisable. Trimming down your Return on Investment expectation is good, that will push you to save more, but save and invest only if you are comfortable...
