Is it wise to redeem my SIP to buy a used car in the current layoff environment?
I have been thinking about redeeming the SIP I started three years ago to buy a used car. The current accumulated amount is around ₹2.10 lakh.
My current financial situation:
Monthly in-hand salary: ₹82,000
Home loan EMI: ₹15,000
Outstanding home loan principal: Around ₹17 lakh
Monthly SIP: ₹25,000 ( 2.10 Lakh is separate)
Emergency fund: ₹2 lakh in FD
Health insurance: Optima Secure, 1-year policy
Monthly household expenses: Around ₹40,000-₹45,000, including internet, electricity, groceries, fuel, outings, mobile recharge for family,etc.
Given this situation, especially in the current layoff environment, would it be wise to redeem my SIP and buy a used car?
Thanks in advance for your advice and for taking the time to read this.
