W: Welcome Story
This is Priya’s story, a determined young woman aspiring to launch her own service-based business. She needed a reliable laptop as all her work was online, but she faced budget constraints.
In a time of necessity, she opted for a wise move by purchasing the laptop through an EMI plan. The EMI option eased her financial burden, allowing her to acquire the essential tool for her business without a hefty upfront payment.
As she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, she leveraged her laptop, closed clients, and made profits. The EMI payments seamlessly integrated into her monthly expenses, leaving room for business growth and stable personal finance.
Over time, her strategic decision to use EMI not only helped her secure the laptop she needed but also enabled her to manage her finances intelligently. Her business flourished, and she soon expanded her services, all while comfortably balancing her EMI commitments.
E: Education
EMIs are a part of our everyday financial jargon. Whether it’s buying a new home, a car, or any large purchase, we keep hearing this term.
But what exactly does it mean, and why should you learn about it?
What are EMIs?
EMIs stand for Equated Monthly Installments. They simplify repayment by allowing you to repay large amounts, like home or car loans over a set period in shorter amounts. It’s like cutting a large cake into smaller, manageable pieces, spreading the financial burden across months or years.
For example:
If you choose to purchase a product worth INR 5 lakhs with an EMI option at 10% interest for 5 years, you will pay around INR 10,624 monthly until the loan is repaid.
This will keep your pockets safe from a lump sum payment.
But between an EMI plan and an upfront payment, how do you know what’s best for you?
Consider three basic factors:
Since our needs and plans are diverse, we (most often than not) choose EMI options that fit our budget.
In such cases, there are a few things you need to know before opting for an EMI:

Avoid Penalties and be aware of prepayment charges:

T: Thought Leadership
“EMIs reflect disciplined financial planning.”
- Suze Orman
EMIs serve as indicators of an individual’s organized financial strategy.
This approach involves carefully selecting purchases that can be paid in installments, demonstrating thoughtful budgeting and financial responsibility.
Suze suggests that by adhering to planned EMIs, you showcase your commitment to wise money management and a structured path toward achieving your financial goals.
