Liquidity is one of the most underrated financial concepts.

Liquidity simply means:
how quickly you can convert an asset into cash without significantly affecting its value.

Cash is highly liquid.
Real estate is far less liquid.

Liquidity matters massively during emergencies and market stress.

Fees for IIM-A has moved from 1.5 Lakhs to 25 Lakhs in 20 years. Roughly 17 times. If you have a 3 year old now, he will need 4-4.5 Crs for an MBA.

Data like this is often used to scare people.

Yes - inflation exists.

Yes - it can be scary.

But it is often made out to be a bigger problem than it is when it comes to education.

Let me explain.

The fees for institutions like IIM-A grew very rapidly in the 2000s for a very simple reason: they were playing catch-up. Fee for educational institutes were kept under control for a long time. Same is true for IITs and other govt colleges. Some of them have increased it over the years but even today, it remains low for a lot of institutions.

If you look at the last 15 years or so, the inflation in cost of a college degree is pretty much in line with other costs of living. It is the lifestyle inflation which gets to you. Among my peers, I do see a trend of wanting to send the kids abroad for graduation. If not for graduation, definitely for post grad. Also, they want to pay for it.

Over the next 15 years, I do not see the cost of a college degree become 15 times or even 10 times. I do not see the cost of a college degree growing at anything more than 10% over the next 15 years.

If I have to guess, I would probably put the number at 6-7%.

Bottom line: Kid's education should be a matter of concern but not a matter of worry.

PS: Do not copy the image and pass it off your own.
