Financial Rules That Can Transform Your Money Management

Financial Rules That Can Transform Your Money Management


Rule no. 1. Rule of 72: Doubling Your Investment
The Rule of 72 is a handy mental shortcut to estimate how long it will take for an investment to double. 

Here's how it works:
Formula: Years to Double = 72 / Annual Interest Rate (As per percentage)

For example:
If you invest ₹1 lakh at 6% interest, divide 72 by 6 to get 12 years. So, your ₹1 lakh will become ₹2 lakhs in approximately 12 years.


Rule no. 2. The 0.04 Rule: Smart Spending without Touching Your Salary
The 0.04 Rule helps you manage spending without affecting your regular income:

Formula: Divide the desired spending amount by 0.04 (which represents a 4% return).
Example: If you want to spend ₹1500, divide it by 0.04: ₹1500 / 0.04 = ₹37,500.
Invest ₹37,500 in something that yields a 4% return, and that 4% will generate the ₹1500 you need without dipping into your pocket.



Rule no. 3. 100 Minus Age Rule: Balancing Stocks and Bonds
The 100 Minus Age Rule guides your portfolio allocation based on your age:

- Subtract your age from 100 to find the percentage of your portfolio that should be in stocks.
- Example: If you're 30 years old, consider having 30% in bonds and 70% in stocks.
- This balance manages risk and growth as you progress through different life stages.

Remember, while these rules provide useful guidelines, individual circumstances and risk tolerance vary. Consult a financial advisor to tailor your investment strategy to your specific goals and situation. Happy investing! 🌟

British Educated us - Biggest Myth

You know, many people describe India as a rich country where poor people live, but if you look at the history of India, it's very evident that India was Richest Country in the world before the invasions happened to us, both in teams of wealth as well as intellectual. During those period, India used to contribute almost 24% of Global Economy, and in 1947, by the end of the British rule, the percentage dropped down to 4%.      Those who are saying that the British brought infrastructure and development to this country  have some facts before start blabbering, every single aspect of this country as systematically destroyed by the British, and Education tops the list in that.  Imagine the number of time people told that the British came and educated us.  this is the biggest myth.  that needs to be get done away with. if these people have paid any minimum attention in their history classes, they wouldn't be making this kind of idiotic statement in the ...

THE KASHMIR FILES

#THEKASHMIRFILES This is a film on the unreported story, the most tragic gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmir Hindus which happened in 1990.  This is not a movie, this is a SLAP (RJ Raunac),  SLAP  on the people who have been ignoring the genocide of Kashmiri pundits still now,  SLAP  on those people who have never let the pain of Kashmiri pundits known to the world till date.  SLAP on those who shout slogans of Azadi but they probably do not know that they have snatched the freedom of the community in their own country.  SLAP  on people who thinks that Kashmir is not a part of India  SLAP  on those who see the Indian army as murderers SLAP  on those who feel that if they have been murdered, they have the right to take up arms and take the path of violence.    The Kashmir Files is a story of two days. Today where people like you and me live and the second is that black day 19th January 1990 a day that Kashmiri Pandits still ...
