Planning For Her Daughter's Future Before She Arrived
About Their Journey
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, but Shabani knew she wanted to prepare early for the years ahead.
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 evolved into a broader roadmap that included retirement planning and other important milestones.
When Inayat eventually came home, the foundation had already been laid.

Process
Building multiple goals around a long-term plan.
Starting early for Inayat's future
Investments towards Inayat's graduation began years before the goal became immediate.
Balancing her daughter's future with her own
Over time, retirement planning became a major part of the journey, with roughly 70% of ongoing investments directed towards retirement and 30% towards Inayat's graduation goal.
Adapting as life evolved
Regular reviews helped keep goals aligned while making room for new priorities along the way.
Impact
Today, Shabani continues investing towards Inayat's graduation while steadily building her retirement corpus.
In 2026, she also redeemed investments to complete a home renovation project without disrupting her long-term goals.
What began as planning for her future daughter has grown into a structured plan supporting multiple stages of life, while keeping each goal moving forward with purpose.
