FOLLOW "100 MINUS AGE" RULE FROM FIRST INCOME ITSELF

1. 25-yr young earners can easily implement "100 minus age" rule of long-term investment allocation from their first income itself.

2. So 75% of net surplus savings can be allocated to an Equity fund and 25% to PPF, EPF or a Debt fund.

3. During their earning years, they can rebalance them periodically as per their current age and risk appetite.

4. For simplicity, as an alternative, they can opt for a Hybrid Aggressive Fund with its auto-rebalancing mandate, to take care of Equity:Debt allocations, during their earning years as well as their retired lifetime.
