Monika brings a new format to her podcast from this episode onwards.

She will first tell you what a macro event means for you. This episode she tells you the impact of government spending on GDP growth and how that matters in your financial life.

Then she will unpack a micro event. This week it is the changes in the Public Provident Fund that go live from October 1 2024.

She then answers three listener questions. The first one has to do with when to sell in a bull market.

Next is a question on shifting to a more tax advantaged product than debt funds.

And last, a worry about planning mutual fund investments so that the kids can get the money without having to sell the funds.
