Gold ETFs back in focus
The inflow led to an expansion in the category's assets under management to Rs 62,453 crore in May from Rs 61,422 crore in April, latest data with the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) showed. Going by the data, Gold ETFs witnessed an inflow to the tune of Rs 292 crore last month, marking an improvement from outflow of Rs 6 crore in April and Rs 77 crore in March. "The renewed traction in May signals a gradual return of investor interest, likely driven by resilient gold prices and sustained global uncertainties that reinforce gold's appeal as a strategic hedge," Nehal Meshram, Senior Analyst – Manager Research at Morningstar Investment Research India, said.

How ChatGPT Helped This Woman Ditch Auto-Debits And Save Rs 2,028 A Month
New Delhi: While many tech leaders warn about the risks of AI chatbots, one story shows how they can actually help. A woman recently shared how ChatGPT helped her fix her finances by finding and cancelling unused subscriptions—saving her nearly Rs 2,000 a month. The story, shared on Livemint by Deepika Chelani, described what she called a 'subscription detox.' With ChatGPT's help, she discovered and cancelled forgotten auto-debits, leading to Rs 2,028 in immediate savings and a permanent Rs 603 cut in her monthly expenses. Finding the Money Leaks Chelani realised she was losing money every month to 'boring, forgettable auto-debits' for apps and services she hadn't used in months. She didn't know exactly which subscriptions were draining her money or how to stop them. She asked ChatGPT for help. The AI gave her a four-step plan to take control of her spending. First, ChatGPT suggested search phrases like 'Your subscription has been renewed' and 'Auto-debit confirmation.' Using these keywords, Chelani went through her Gmail and UPI payment history. She found recurring charges for services like Amazon Prime, Headspace, Gaana+, and Google One, and then cancelled or downgraded them. Cancelling Made Easy Some subscriptions were hard to cancel, so Chelani asked ChatGPT to write cancellation emails for her. She sent these emails to customer support, and within days, the services were cancelled. Finally, ChatGPT recommended creating a monthly 'Subscription Audit'—a quick 10-minute check to make sure she wasn't paying for things she didn't use. A Small Habit, Big Savings Chelani said, 'We focus so much on earning more money. But sometimes, the smartest move is to stop wasting what we already have.' For her, the process only needed a chat window, 10 minutes, and the willingness to clean up—and it made a lasting difference in her finances.

No imported tiles, no extravagant walls. But it comes with full ownership from day one, no EMIs, a healthier bank balance, and the priceless peace of mind that you can sleep at night without worrying about missed calls out the 'liabilities disguised as assets' culture that social media often celebrates. He urges buyers to ask themselves: Are you buying for your own comfort or for society's approval? Will you actually own the house, or will the bank? And can you still afford it if your income slows down? His bottom line is simple — real wealth is measured in freedom, not granite countertops.
