Money Tip 4: Take Out Some Insurance On Yourself

Money Tip 5: Don't Stop MF SIP
As far as investments are concerned, do not stop your Systematic Investment Plans (SIP). Continue with you equity mutual fund in case you have already invested with a long term view. Don't invest with a view of less than 6-7 years.

Invest in multi cap fund as there will be a lesser risk in that. You can also invest in small saving schemes as they are the most secured investments.
