What is the golden rule of finance?

Image
 Greetings, Just 10 simple rules to take control of your finances: Let’s understand each of these rules in detail. 1. THE NET WORTH RULE This rule originated from 'The Millionaire Next Door' book. It has a simple way to determine if you are wealthy in the US. Multiply your age by your pre-tax annual income & divide by 10. If your net worth surpasses the result, you are wealthy. There’s an Indian version of this as well. Some experts suggest using 20 instead of 10 as the divisor in the Indian context. For instance, say you're 30 and earn Rs 12 lakh annually. Your net worth should be at least Rs 18 lakh to earn the 'wealthy' title. 2. RULE OF 72 This helps you determine the time it will take for your investment to double. How does it work? Simply divide "72" by the rate of return you are earning. For example, with a 9% return, it will take 8 years (72/9) to double your investment. 3. RULE OF 70 This tells you the impact of inflation. Divide "70"

  3 things: 1. When people want to make fun of you, laugh with them. No need to put effort to find a comeback. They'll know you are an innocent guy. 2. When people want to make fun of someone else, don't join them. Be the guy who is silent throughout and talks to the victim after they're gone. They'll know you're a nice guy. 3. When people want to talk/share anything from life stories to personal secrets, just listen. Don't talk. Show more curiosity than they expect. They'll know you're a trustworthy guy. You'll be loved :)

While making a small talk with someone you just met, if you ask where they live and they just tell you the area and not exact place, don't be creepy and ask, “Yeah but where exactly at xyz colony/ street?” Don't ask people you just met too many details about their family.

What are some things a woman should know about men?

The guy who likes you when you don't look the best, will keep liking you when makeup stops working on your face. When a guy looks at your breasts while talking, he isn't staring at them, he is just a little shy so his eyes are down. The guy who can't take a no for sex, or foreplay, or kiss or anything related, doesn't see you with him in the bigger picture of life. When a guy talks to you with respect or shows care, it doesn't mean that he is frustrated or is trying to woo you, that may be his nature. When a true lover asks you for nude photographs, you must straightaway know that only their lust for you is true. However rich a man you get, you can never earn that high self-respect which you get by being independent. A cool dude, who appears to be that by his styling or looks maybe much old fashioned than a traditional looking guy, and vice versa. A boy who cries isn't weak, he may be stronger than other guys. Never judge a guy through his promises, judge him th

What are some of the mistakes of Indians that are destroying their financial lives?

  Credit card . I have a friend who earns Rs.20,000 and spends lavishly with credit card. He buys expensive stuff just because  its on OFFER . By the end of month, he calls other friends for money to pay debt. That’s utter stupidity. When I ask him, he says he is living life. Think about it, why do credit card company exists? Its not because of people who use credit cards carefully,  its because of those who spend more than they can afford and end up paying a huge interest. Buying apartment with home loan . As soon as someone starts making decent money like Rs.50,000+, they start thinking about buying apartment. They get blinded by marketing strategies like   “don’t pay rent, pay EMI” , like EMI is same as rent. Home loan is a biggest liability and you will get  trapped for the next 20 - 30 years while Artificial Intelligence eats your job . Till you pay the loan, it is  NOT YOUR HOUSE . It is bank’s house. Agreement may have your name but it is legally owned by bank.  You are the tena

  Groom yourself,  even if you're living alone . Keep your beard clean and trimmed. Girls may wax, if necessary. Always carry a wallet, Comb, Belt, Perfume, a pen with you. Workout at least 1 hour  a day, it's the least you could do for your body. This will keep your confidence up, your body healthy and your face free of pimples. Cover your mouth while sneezing, coughing, etc. Say ‘Sorry/Excuse me’ afterward. Invest in  your own  personal hygiene  like flossing your teeth, cleaning your mouth, wearing cologne. Speak a bit less and think before you speak because one wrong word can hurt your personality. Talk looking into the eyes of the other person. Be a man of  your  words  , If you promise to do something for someone, make sure you do it . Show respect  for other person’s opinion. Never tell a person he or she is wrong. Learn the  difference between Ego and Self-respect . There's a very thin line between them. Hustle as much as you can . Fast success brings ego, slow succ

If you don't avoid these money traps by your 20s, you'll be working until you are in your 60s:

  1.Choose the right partner Your partner can either break you or make you. If you want to please your partner only by spending on wants, you will end up being broke. Find a partner who shares your money philosophy. A person with high morals who does not value the superficial. 2.Luxurious lifestyle The more income we have, the more we are tempted to buy more and look good. If you chase a luxurious lifestyle, you will not save and invest. Outward appearances do not equate to success. Success is having control of your time. 3.Failing to upgrade a career Your 20s are a golden age to level up professionally. You should: - Learn skills - Change jobs - Ask for raises/promotions This ensures that your career has an upward trajectory. The more income you have, the more assets you can buy. 4.Spending a lot on weddings A wedding does not have to be expensive to be memorable. Do not be in debt for a one-day event. There are affordable ways to celebrate. Be on a budget and do not overspend. There
