When Ankit Shah, a Mumbai-based businessman was getting married, his spouse-to-be indicated she did not wish to continue working after marriage. Since they would have only a single income stream, and also have to support the joint family in which they live, Shah realised he would need to be more careful about saving and investing in the future. Together, the couple decided Shah would begin ploughing his savings into mutual funds and create a corpus for emergencies.
Traditionally, discussing money and finances has not been a priority for newly-wed couples or those engaged or planning to get married soon.
