Have you invested your money in
insurance plan to get a return in
future? Big mistake!
100 people, 95 have made thisOut of
mistake.
Very
difference
few people
between
understand
term
the
plan,
endowment plan, etc.
Not able to crack the credit card mystery
Are you paying the minimum amount
due on your credit card payment?
If yes, you are trapped in credit card
mystery.
On the other side, very few people really
enjoy the benefits like free lounge access,
buy one get one movie ticket, etc.
No idea about the power of compounding
Everyone has come across the formula of compounding but very few people
really understand its power.
This is the reason people do not start saving early and hence lose out on
the power of compounding.
Albert Einstein said that power of compounding is the eighth wonder of the
world.
Buying stocks based on tips without any knowledge
You will find every Tom, Dick and Harry giving
stock tips over Facebook, Whatsapp and
TV.
Unfortunately, a lot of people fall in a trap of
these people and invest money without any
knowledge.
What is the end result? They lose everything!
Becoming a victim of lifestyle inflation
Moving from 2bhk to 3bhk just because you have got a good hike, upgrading your
car because you have got some bonus are some of the examples of lifestyle
inflation destroying financial lives.
Buying things just because they are on discount
From Amazon’s “Great Indian Sale” to Flipkart’s “The Big Billion Days”, everyone
is encashing on the weakness of Indians buying things just because it is
on discount.
Funny thing is now you will find such sales every other month.
Getting tempted to go for an exotic vacation just because someone
put a post on Facebook and Instagram
Instagram and Facebook are introduced as
Social Media Platform but they are actually
destroying the entire social fabric.
Facebook and Instagram are more of a
marketing platform where people post stuff
just to get some likes and companies promote
their product and services.
Spending a bomb on weekend parties
5 days work and 2 days party: This is
the new culture in India.
Pubs are jam-packed on weekends where
people would spend a bomb on drinks.
By the end of the month, they are left with
no money.
No track of cash flow
Very few people keep a track of
their expenses.
Most of them just don’t know where
the money is gone.
No emergency budget
Not having any extra money in the
case of an emergency results in
embarrassing situations of borrowing
money from friends and relative.
Some people even break their
investments and make a big mistake.
No medical insurance
People are losing out the lifetime
savings just because they did not
take medical insurance.
One accident can shatter all financial
dreams. Better be insured.
Healthcare cost is rising and it is
impossible to manage it without
insurance.
No financial plan
People do not know why they need to
save money because they don’t
know their financial goals.
No diversification
Some people would invest all their
money in real estate, some would
invest all the money in gold, some
would just keep it in the locker, some
would invest all the money in the stock
market.
Very few people understand the
right way of diversifying the
investments.
Spending all the hard earned money on children
Marriage
Thanks to our hippocratic society!
People save their entire life just to
spend all the money on random
relatives who only bother about the food
and arrangements.
Buying excessive gold only to keep it in the locker
Gold worth lakhs is kept in
lockers only to be used once or
twice a year.
This is resulting in the money
getting blocked and hence not
getting any returns on it.
An extremely conservative approach with investment
people have beenTraditionally,
risk-averse.
They would just have an FD and live on
6–7% annual interest.
Some would just keep the cash at home.
Lack of clarity between asset and liability
Having a car is not an asset because it
consumes fuel and has a maintenance cost.
Its price will only depreciate in the future.
Car is a necessity but people spend a
lot of money and even take the loan to
buy a luxury car over and above their
budget.
Considering frugal as cheap
economicA lot of people confuse
spending with being cheap.
An economic spender does not compromise with
quality but does his research well enough to buy
the product or service at the lowest rate.
Procrastinating investment decisions
“I will invest from tomorrow”.
But the problem is that tomorrow
never comes.
Spending a lot of money on fancy stuff
A fancy car, a fancy house, a fancy
watch, a fancy vacation.
People want fancy stuff and willing
to pay a premium irrespective of
the value it generates.
Lack of patience
“I can’t wait for my wealth to grow.I want to
double my investments in 6 months. I need
to invest in the stock market.”
A lot of people lose their lifetime of
savings because they don’t have the
patience to understand the
investment option and would blindly
trust anyone with their investment.
Depending upon others for investment decisions
“I don’t know anything about
investment. Please manage my money.”
Unfortunately, a lot of people are
dependent upon others with their
hard earned money.
This is the reason we have a lot of self-
proclaimed experts giving stock market
tips.
Not discussing the money matters in the family
money are
in Indian
Discussions related to
considered as a taboo
families.
Nobody really discusses money matters.
Getting too greedy with investment
People blindly invest their money in
penny stocks, day trading, futures and
options.
They eventually lose all their hard earned
money.
What is the root cause? GREED
Wasting time on unproductive things
Rather than learning new stuff and
growing the skillset, people end up
wasting time on social media and
YouTube
Lack of disciplined investment
Instead of spending what is left after
investing, people invest what is left
after spending.
This results in undisciplined
investment.
Root Cause
Lack of knowledge about personal
financial management!!
THANK YOU
