My family lives in a tier 3 city in India. We are financially stable but confused about how to grow wealth properly.

My mother is a government employee earning around 1 lakh per month. My elder brother also has a government job and earns around 70k per month. We receive around 90k combined pension from my father and grandfather. We also have rental income of around 45k per month from shops and houses.

We own our main house in the city, another 3 BHK in a posh colony, one residential plot in an upcoming area and another 2 BHK house in a village. We do not have any loans. We also own one car worth around 8 lakhs.

Overall our monthly family income is close to 3 lakhs and most of it is stable income. But we feel our investments are not growing properly.

We hired a wealth manager but honestly the returns are not very impressive and we still pay a lot of taxes every year.

Should we move more money into mutual funds, index funds or equity? Would appreciate advice from people with experience in wealth management or similar family backgrounds.

So my boyfriend and I went to a park recently, and neither of us really knew the route. Everything was fine on the way there, but when we were leaving, things got messy.

While driving, he took a wrong turn that wouldn’t lead us to our next destination. Instead of correcting it normally, he suddenly put the car in reverse and ended up backing into a nearby truck. There was some damage to the car (not huge, but definitely noticeable).

Right after it happened, he got really upset and started blaming me. He said it was my fault because I didn’t have the map open on my phone to guide him, and that I “just wanted to be a passenger princess.” He also said the music distracted him and that I should have turned it off when I saw him reversing.

But here’s the thing: the music automatically starts playing because his phone connects to the car as soon as he gets in. I didn’t turn anything on myself.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. There have been 3-4 instances where he’s asked me to check the map, and if I make a mistake or we take a wrong turn, he starts shouting at the top of his lungs saying I don’t know how to read a map.

There have even been more than one instance where he’s slapped me on my arm or back during these situations.

Also, do men really get this angry when their wife or girlfriend gives a wrong direction or misses a turn, or is this not normal?

Now he’s saying the whole situation is my fault and has basically stopped talking to me. AITK?
