Manikantan Raman and Lakshmi Devi found a practical approach towards money with the help of their financial planner.
The block
When Manikantan and Lakshmi tied the knot in 2001, they decided to account for every paisa they earned or spent. Manikantan started investing wherever his peers were investing but didn’t find the growth satisfactory. He then started investing in mutual funds through online finance advisories but that lacked a personal touch. After 5-6 years, the couple finally decided to seek a financial adviser’s help.
The goals
“Our main problem was that we didn’t have fixed goals. I was inspired by the wealth of people like Warren Buffett, but didn’t know how to create wealth of my own,” said Manikantan.
