Yesterday I and my hubby had gone for the admission of my daughter in an International school in Mumbai. The interview went well and we were sent to the accounts manager to provide the details about fee structure. After listening to the academic fees, I thanked my hubby for the proper financial planning we did; otherwise it would have not been possible. I would advise all the parents to start their planning today, because the cost of education has gone up drastically.
When we were children the career options we had were very limited. I still remember my teacher asking the entire class about what we wanted to become in future and everyone had answered "I want to become a Doctor" or "An Engineer".
Today the scenario has changed. Our children can choose from a lot many career options available to them, but a proper financial planning is essential to fulfill your children's aspirations. The average cost for education up to 12th standard in a good school has gone up to 1.5 - 3 lakhs per year, and arranging such a high amount is not possible if you haven't done the financial planning properly.
While browsing the internet I came across a website from Axis Mutual Fund. I am really thankful to Axis Mutual Fund to have come up with such a nice website! I felt the process of financial planning for child education is made pretty simple.
