Frequently Asked Questions

Should I invest my vacation fund in the stock market?

No. Vacations are usually very short-term goals (6 to 24 months). The stock market (Equity Mutual Funds) is too volatile for this timeframe. If the market crashes right before your trip, your vacation is cancelled. Stick to Recurring Deposits (RDs) or Liquid Mutual Funds.

Why does the planner charge a 5% travel inflation?

Flight tickets, hotel prices, and tour packages increase every year. If you are planning a trip 18 months from now, the quote you see today will likely have crept up. 5% gives you a safe buffer so you don't fall short.

Is it better to take a Personal Loan for a vacation or save up?

Taking a personal loan for a depreciating or 100% consumption expense like a vacation is generally considered a bad financial move. The high interest rates (12-18%) make the vacation significantly more expensive. It's always better to 'SIP' into a fund and go when you hit the goal.
