She Started Investing For Her Daughter Before Her Daughter Came Home
In 2020 the adoption was still under way. The plan for Inayat's future was already running.
In 2020, while her adoption process was still underway, Shabani began investing towards her future daughter's education. At the time, Inayat had not yet joined the family.
When Inayat eventually came home, the foundation had already been laid.
A single parent, two futures
As a single mother, she also recognised the importance of building long-term financial security for herself.
What started as a plan for one future goal gradually became a broader roadmap. Today roughly 70% of her ongoing investments go towards retirement and 30% towards Inayat's graduation — her daughter's future and her own, funded side by side rather than one at the cost of the other.
As a single mother and to manage my finances well, it did require foresight and meticulous planning. FinEdge did just that. I was not only given investing insights but behavioural insights too for a successful investing journey.
