I wish I had known earlier

I wish I had known earlier  Timeless lessons of life are known to us much later and we do regret not knowing them earlier in life, knowing which might have altered the due course for the better. Here are some which have to be internalized to make our lives much better     Expectations : The perils of expecting have been discussed in great lengths by all wise men and instruct us to be mindful of the quality of our work, Work with love and care remembering that our happiness depends on it. Resolve to be mindful of the approach towards work and work as an offering to god, expecting no reward, seeking no favors, and avoiding no challenges. Power of compounding : Habits compound and make little difference in short periods but makes an enormous impact on years or decadal time frame be it how you perceive risk, taking good care of your health, building wealth, or even quieting your mind. As it is said success is repeating few good habits every day. Self-learning : Self-directed learning to

Reverse Mortgage

 Reverse mortgage  The middle class biggest asset will be their house (assuming it to be the primary house, not the second one) but the sad truth is they cant sell it nor can they generate income from it (by renting as they live there)   US had encountered this problem where retirees without money but  with house mortgage, their house(it's reverse of EMI bank will pay you money till you are alive and foreclose the property and sell it after you ) though not popular in India it may happen anytime soon  For processing, reverse mortgage banks take the help of an insurance company so banks and insurance companies take a cut before giving you 

Cashflow over Networth

Image
 Cashflow over Networth  Most (including me) fall into the trap of overhyping Networth At least when we read headlines  Mukesh Ambani made 79 billion during this pandemic, Jeff Bezos made 72 billion  Rich are getting richer etc  What people miss here is their assets are getting revalued and claim a higher price tag (Due to a steep rise in their listed company)but does that change the cash generated from their companies is a real question to ask Similar is the case when the middle-class boast that their property prices(Networth)have soared but does that mean you get more rent(cashflow)? The sad reality is rental income is less than the saving bank rate in fact in Bangalore it's less than 2%. Always cash flow gives the real picture, Networth will rise and fall according to a market frenzy. A successful and prosperous company generates tons of cash allowing them not only to invest in other companies but might return shareholders money in buyback the equity (Usually in a bear market )o

Silent Killer !!(INFLATION)

Image
Added sugars in food and beverages offer no nutritional values other than empty calories but are excessively consumed because our brain gets to lighten up due to a surge in dopamine ignoring the long-term chronic illness caused by it. Let me introduce you to yet another class of alleged silent killers called inflation which may result in a pay hike every year releasing the dopamine but may destroy your wealth in a relatively long period of time when not invested in assets that grow more than inflation. Imagine you are cruising upstream in a ship, wading against the stream. It is natural that for you to move forward your speed has to be more than the opposing stream. so, the inherently present stream has to be opposed relentlessly for you to move forward. Inflation is similar to the opposing stream. It has to be defied relentlessly for you to build wealth not letting inflation corroding your money. M Pattabiraman of Freefincal has this anecdotal explanation that he could buy a cup of te

Why Rich become Richer ??????

Image
It is commonly believed that money alone is enough to create more money although it is necessary but not sufficient this can be inferred from the history post world war 2 when Germany broke into two countries west Germany took to capitalism and the east was influenced by Russia so it killed all its businessmen bankers and economists although both west and east were of same economic conditions after the fall of Berlin wall it's clear that west was much much prosperous than east because it nurtured talent who was in the know of money so knowledge is much much superior to money itself let's dwell deeper into what secrets of money do the rich know that makes them richer. 1 Delayed gratification  The Rich take them less seriously so delay their wants and thereby create assets by foregoing their impulsive temptations the more they delay their wants more money is at their disposal so they create more assets which in turn creates more money  2 Compounding  Rich knows the importance of
