In a recent video that has resurfaced online, Vivek Oberoi offered practical tips on how to secure one’s finances. He emphasized the importance of building a safety net by saving three times one’s annual income. According to the actor, having this reserve in place ensures that a person is financially prepared for unexpected life events and can maintain stability even if their circumstances change. He advised against spending more than what one earns and suggested that this cushion should last for at least three to five years.
Oberoi also shared his perspective on investments, cautioning against impulsive decisions driven by the lure of high returns. As one's income grows and lifestyle changes, he highlighted the need to adjust expenses accordingly while maintaining a balanced saving ratio. He advised choosing safe investment options, such as RBI bonds, over speculative investments that promise quick returns but carry high risks. According to Oberoi, the peace of mind that comes with stable investments is far more valuable than the potential for high-interest gains.
