My job is to sell SIPs, but I always tell everyone - young and old - to take the time to enjoy the fruits of your hardwork. Save, but also spend, on things that give you joy, because it makes the journey worth it. At the end of the day, life is not a race of who has the highest NAV of most rupees, but who has lived most joyfully. The middle path exists, and it is good one. #MangoMillionaire,' wrote Gupta in a post shared on X.
Gupta's message promotes a 'middle path' between saving and spending, especially for young professionals who often feel pressured to maximize returns. While she continues to champion SIPs as a stable, long-term investment tool, she emphasized that
financial wellness
includes emotional fulfillment.
In related news, Gupta recently cautioned
retail investors
against chasing
high returns
promoted by finfluencers, warning that many such opportunities are designed for seasoned players and not everyday savers. She reiterated that SIPs remain a trustworthy and accessible solution for most Indians.

Bad news for Pakistan supporter Turkey as Ankara's tourism economy sinks due to…, Erdogan staring at destruction due to… After Ankara came out in support of Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan war, a 'Boycott Turkey' campaign was started in India as Indians boycotted Turkish goods and cancelled tourist bookings to the country. Advertisement (File) Turkey, which openly supported Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan conflict after Operation Sindoor, is now paying a heavy price of the decision, as Ankara's tourism economy has dipped by a massive 37 percent, primarily because of Indian tourists boycotting the country as a tourist destination. Why India's boycott hit Turkish economy? After Ankara came out in support of Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan war, a 'Boycott Turkey' campaign was started in India as Indians boycotted Turkish goods and cancelled tourist bookings to the country, resulting in a huge decline in the number of Indian tourists visiting to Turkey. Advertisement === According to media reports, the number of Indian tourists who visited Turkey in June slumped to 24,250 from the 38,307 in the same month last year, a decline of 37 percent, while the numbers also dropped significantly in the month of May, dealing a major blow to Turkey's tourism industry and its economy. Notably, India-based travel portals such as MakeMyTrip, EaseMyTrip and Cleartrip have also stopped promoting Turkey as a tourist destination, resulting in further decline. Advertisement === Following Turkey's open support to Pakistan, India took a slew of measures to downgrade ties with Eurasian country, including cancelling major business deals with Turkish firms. How Turkey supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor? Turkey, along with China and Azerbaijan, was among the few countries that openly supported Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, and also armed the Pakistani forces with advanced military drones like the Bayraktar TB2, which were actively used against Indian installations during Operation Sindoor. Following the conflict, Turkey has boosted its strategic and military ties with Pakistan, and is likely to offer its state-of-the-art ALKA-KAPLAN laser tank to Islamabad, which could pose a major threat to India as it would significantly boost the enemy's capability to counter Indian UCAVs, such as those used to target terrorist and military infrastructure in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor

UPI transactions hit record high of 19.47 bn in July; NPCI limits balance check to 50/day
Getty Images GST notice to vendors New Delhi, The number of transactions through the popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI) touched a record high of 19.47 billion in July, according to data released by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). In terms of value, it was Rs 25.08 lakh crore, the second highest after Rs 25.14 lakh crore recorded in May. In terms of volume, the last highest number was 18.67 billion reported in May, which declined to 18.39 billion in June with transaction amount Rs 24.03 lakh crore. NPCI said the value of the transactions worked at Rs 25.08 lakh crore in June against Rs 20.64 lakh crore in the same month a year ago, registering a growth of 21 per cent growth on an annual basis. On a month-on-month basis, the growth was 4.3 per cent in terms of value. "This surge signals a critical shift in nanopreneurs, local retailers, and last-mile users are increasingly embracing digital payments, reducing their dependence on cash and gaining access to the formal financial ecosystem. As platforms like UPI evolve, they are becoming the digital backbone of an inclusive economy," Spice Money CEO Dilip Modi said. Today, UPI accounts for 85 per cent of all digital transactions in India. Its impact goes beyond national borders, powering nearly 50 per cent of global real-time digital payments. UPI is already live in seven countries, including the UAE, Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, France, and Mauritius. Its entry into France is a milestone because it is UPI's first step in Europe. This allows Indians travelling or living there to pay seamlessly without the usual hassles of foreign transactions. NPCI, an initiative of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Indian Banks' Association, is an umbrella organisation for operating retail payments and settlement systems in India (IBA). It runs the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) used for real-time payments between peers or at merchants' end while making purchases. NPCI has brought in fresh limits aimed at reducing system load, cutting down on failed transactions, and improving reliability -- especially during peak hours. Users can now check their account balance via UPI apps up to 50 times a day from Friday. Previously, there was no limit. The cap is meant to ease network load and keep systems running smoothly, according to experts. Besides, the feature that displays all linked bank accounts via the 'List Account' API is capped at 25 requests per user, per app, per day. This aims to reduce unnecessary API load on banking infrastructure. Any UPI ID tied to a mobile number that has been inactive for more than 12 months will be automatically disabled to prevent misuse after number reassignment while new bank accounts added to UPI will undergo enhanced verification, including stronger user authentication and validation checks.
