Tailored Strategies for Students, Housewives, Retired Personnel, Working Professionals, Businessmen, and Networkers IMR Business Counsellor
Money isn’t just about wealth—it’s about freedom, security, and living life on your terms. Yet, financial stress touches everyone differently: a student juggling loans, a housewife managing household cash flow, a retiree stretching a pension, or a businessman scaling revenue. At IMR Business Counsellor, we’ve helped thousands across life stages build personalized financial blueprints that turn chaos into clarity. This guide breaks down practical, phase-specific financial planning for six common profiles. No jargon. No one-size-fits-all. Just actionable steps that fit your reality.
1. Students: Build Wealth While You Build Knowledge You’re investing in your future—don’t let debt or poor habits derail it.

 Emergency Fund: Save ₹1,000/month in a liquid fund (via Groww/Zerodha Coin).
