Have you ever thought about how much you need to save per month for buying a Rs 50-lakh house after 15 years? Buying a house is not a small thing.

It is everyone’s dream to buy one’s own house. However, if buying your own house entails paying a large sum as home loan EMIs for a long time, then that house will not give you comfort even though you have purchased it for the comfort of your family.

Have you ever thought about how much you need to save per month for buying a Rs 50-lakh house after 15 years? Buying a house is not a small thing. It requires lots of money and years of dedicated savings to achieve that particular financial goal. Ideally, a salaried employee buys his own house between the age of 35 years and 45 years. This means that after getting into a job, one expects to buy his/her dream house after the next 10 years to 20 years of time.

Therefore, during that period of time, you need a house either by compulsion or by choice. Those who do not plan early to buy a house, are left with no choice but to buy a cheap house because they will end up paying huge monthly EMIs by buying an expensive one. And those who plan early get many choices to buy their own dream house. This way you can buy a house which is fully equipped with the latest technology and is well furnished.
