With the traditional responsibility of running the household and managing the expenses, she will be consulted when financing a new home. And her precious advice is always heeded as she is responsible for the smooth operations at the home front. For instance, a home loan is taken jointly with the spouse as it maxes the loan eligibility. But she is consulted when it comes to EMI amount as she will take into consideration several factors to re-plan the expenses & manage the household basis the growing & changing needs of the family.

Her ultimate goal: Realize family milestones and goals.
