Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, recently shared important financial advice for people of all ages. While she supports saving and investing through SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans), she believes it’s also important to enjoy life.
“My job is to sell SIPs, but I always tell people — young and old — to also spend on things that bring them happiness,” she said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Life is not a competition to see who saves the most. It’s about living joyfully. It’s okay to take the middle path — save some, spend some.”
शुरू किया था सफ़र एक ख़्वाब के साथ,
आज एक छोटी सी ख़ुशी से दिल भर आया।
मेहनत की मिठास कुछ और ही होती है।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…

She encouraged people to find a balance between saving for the future and spending on things they love. According to her, this balance makes the journey of life more meaningful.
Clearing Up Financial Confusions
A few days ago, Gupta also pointed out a common misunderstanding about investing. She shared that many people still don’t understand the difference between SIPs, mutual funds, and equities.
“It’s frustrating that people think SIPs and mutual funds are different, or that mutual funds only mean equity,” she explained. She emphasized the need for better financial awareness.
Her Take on Obesity and Food Waste
In April, Gupta also gave a suggestion to help reduce obesity in India. She said restaurants should offer half-plate meals for people who want to eat less.
“We often eat everything on the plate because we don’t want to waste food, even if we’re full,” she said. “Offering smaller portions can help people eat less without wasting food or money.”
She also suggested that restaurants can price half-plates just slightly above half the price of full portions, so it’s still affordable and fair for the business.
Conclusion
Radhika Gupta encourages people to be smart with money — not just by saving and investing, but also by enjoying life and taking care of their health. Her message is simple: balance is key.
