20M college student, ₹1.5–2k/month to invest — what should I do?
**20M college student, ₹1.5–2k/month to invest — what should I do?**
I'm a college student and get around **₹12k/month for all my expenses**, plus ₹1.5–2k extra from my father. My expenses are growing and I don't want to keep asking him for more money.
I'm planning to manage everything within the ₹12k and put the extra **₹1.5–2k/month somewhere that can eventually generate some extra money for me.**
I'm completely new to investing. **My main goal is to eventually have some small monthly cash flow**, not get rich quick.
What would you guys recommend for this amount? SIP/index fund, RD/FD, stocks, or something else? And realistically, how much could I expect?
Not interested in crypto/trading or anything extremely risky. Just looking for a realistic way to make my ₹2k/month work for me.
