Now that you have informed your member(s) of the family about your investments, it is time to look at a selfless act of charity. Why is charity important? If you give back to those in need, it helps you achieve a sense of personal satisfaction. A little charity helps in improving the world and makes it a better place. While you donate to a charity, you can also be eligible for tax exemptions. Under the Income Tax Act, certain contributions or donations are eligible for a tax deduction under Section 80G.

Also list down your financial goals and where you see yourself financially in the next year and even the next 10 years. You can note down the tools and investment ideas that you may come across. If writing it down on a paper is too old school for you, you can start noting it down using digital mediums and maybe even start a blog. A simple habit that can be beneficial over the long run.
