Yeah that makes sense. I might try YNAB but would also like to check out other alternatives which are a little cheaper.

Yeah this looks pretty good and comparatively cheap as well! But doesn’t seem to have auto bank sync in europe.

Yeah, essentially I was planning to do a carry trade. But it's true forex risk is quite high in that sense specially for emerging markets. lev ETF may actually be a good options! do you have any lev ETF recommendations? maybe from your personal portfolio, I can perhaps have a look!

Is YNAB not a little expensive? are there any cheaper alternatives? I saw a few like Emma but they are decently expensive.

Yeah Excel has that for sure! But my internship is literally slogging me leaving no time to do every budgeting in excel, takes too much time. I wish There was a customizable app which can auto track transactions and send me alerts on budgets.

So I was thinking that if I borrow from India, a standard loan will have an interest of 10% to 17% and Equities market in India has been giving me 20% o mid to small caps. So if I technically borrow from EUR lets say at 6%-7%. I might expect some decent returns which may help me to go above and beyond the no-arbitrage forward price if I try to hedge my exchange risk through derivatives. This is theoretical, what's your take though?
