If you have high interest debt, then pay that down. Otherwise, invest in a diversified portfolio, spend some small amount.

Lacs

That's equal to 100k INR

Microsoft Thano Feb 24, 2019

Pay debts or invest in MF. A split of TC and level will help community. Congrats for the new job.

Thanks! Level 62 Base 40L Bonus 15% Stocks 25 L

Microsoft Thano Feb 24, 2019

I guess joining stocks of 25L will be vested across 4 years? You could have asked for more stocks. Base is the max for L 62. Never heard any 62 get that base

I spent most of it on women, alcohol and cocaine. I wasted the rest.

If you absolutely have no idea then just invest it in some index fund.

Wtf is L?

This is what i would do: 1) Gift to someone you love. 2) Clear off your home loans, car loans 3) Invest in stocks ( split into high risk, medium, low risk). Investor gurus say do it in reverse order :) Your choice.
