    Let’s go on a date!

    Instead of drowning each other while screaming about money or sitting in deafening silence in the fear of talking about money. Let’s try this setting instead, we shall go on a date.

  • What can your country do for you?

    What can your country do for you?

    Since the UPI has been introduced, I barely carry a wallet, let alone cash when I go out. It has quickly become one of the most used conveniences. I’m sure it’s the same with you lot as well. While the government may have its ups and downs, it has come up with a few schemes…

    Back in our time…

    According to our parent’s generation, investments generally seem to mean Gold, Fixed Deposit, Post office related deposits, Provident Funds and for some crazy reason Life insurance policies. Now I don’t really care for Life insurance policies as an ‘investment’, they are and should always be a safety net that you’re essentially buying. The remaining things…

  • My dalliance with crypto

    My dalliance with crypto

    First let me start with – L.O.L. This was my biggest fail as an investor. I had no idea what I was doing and jumped on the bandwagon at the height of the crypto madness. So I basically bought super-duper high. I only have myself to blame for investing in a market I did not…

    To Own or not to Own?

    ‘I want to live in my own house, my family has always rented and I really want to own property that I can call my own.’ ‘No I don’t want to do that. I don’t believe in owning a home, we can put that money to good use by investing in it and the returns…

    Young and merry

    If you are in your twenties, then woohoo. Cheers! You are being backed by TIME. The most important thing right now is to develop a discipline around investing. Since you are just starting out in your career, I’m thinking there’s not a lot of income right away, but it also means you probably (most likely)…

    To those who braved the difficult travels and set sail to the New World – How is life people! I know it can be daunting to go to a completely new country and start a life there. ‘How would you know this? You sit in Bangalore and type up all this, you don’t know my…

  • Little savings, big returns – HOW?

    Little savings, big returns – HOW?

    I’ll give you the answer right away. It’s TIME. If you’re able to save a small amount you might feel like there is no point in doing so. Especially when the rate of return is so low. Ok firstly it doesn’t matter how much you earn, what matters is how much you pay YOURSELF. Meaning…

  • START-ing problems

    START-ing problems

    So you’ve been earning for a while now, and saving like a goodie-two-shoes. But you’re also a badass, so you haven’t started investing yet. You keep thinking, ‘yeah let me save a little more, what I have right now is not worthy of an investment’. (Or something along those lines…we’re all guessing here) I invite…
