[ad_1] (Reuters) -India’s economy is expected to grow at around 6.5% in fiscal year 2024/25, closer to the lower end of its 6.5%-7% projection, as global uncertainties pose a dampening threat, the government said on Thursday. The growth outlook for October to December appears bright, with rural demand remaining resilient and urban demand picking up in the first two months of the quarter, according to the finance ministry’s monthly economic report for November. Growth slowed more than expected in July to September, hampered by weaker expansion in manufacturing and consumption. India has maintained that its economy will grow at a…
[ad_1] The following is based on “Redefining the Optimal Retirement Income Strategy,” from the Financial Analysts Journal. Retirement, like life, is fundamentally uncertain. That’s why we need to provide clients with more context about what missing their retirement-income goals might look like and do it in a thoughtful way.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Earning a second income can mean taking on a night or weekend job alongside the daily grind. But that is not the only way. Millions of people earn passive income thanks to others grinding away for successful companies in which they own shares, earning them dividends. Doing that means it is possible to earn a second income without working, by benefitting from the performance of some blue-chip companies. Such an approach does not even need a lot of money.
