Money - Can you make it work hard ?

What the hell are you talking about?
Making money work hard.. are you mad?
for who? for what?
!*&?#?$....Blink! Blink! Lost!?

I have just projected myself as a crazy freak eh? ;-).

I bet, these questions raced your mind track, which made you to do this lap. I am happy to stay beside you in the same race...;-).

Well, Can You? Can you make your hard earned money to be your earning partner? A partner who never asks for a share and owes it all to you ;-). Can you?

Alright.. alright... coming to the point.

My story Before 2005...

Ignorant about investments... was it a bliss? no way...
People around me, had money as their partners... damn, I am a liar ;-)...
Earn money, keep it safe, keep it in safe... poor me ;-(
Shares ? Funds ?... what is that?
Like family, like generation... yeah, conservative.
Retirement? Investment?... closed my eyes... like an Ostrich ha ha.
Thought I was not affected by inflation, since I had nothing to inflate ;-).

Going through the same symptoms?... hmmm, congratulations! "Investment phobia" disease diagnosed... do not worry, it is a common disease and curable. Me and you are not the only infected middle class Indians...

Yeah, it is not news... usually the causes of this disease are...

Lost in the society crowd... who won't be part of your struggle, but joy...
Failure in the art of finding a right cultivator/land to plant your money...
Ignoring the ticket to the past where the suspense of hunger kills you...
Panicking over the future... and started working early...
Victim of the fellow socialist campaigns on "How good we can be without money ;-)"...
Believing that money is only for worship, since it is God...
Keeping your parents out of the "risk money" game...
Chanting mantras about earning hard, not smart...
Afraid of committing sin, by waking up your sleeping money...


Lesson After 2005...

Drenched in mentors rain of advise, on investments...
Responsibilities, ambitions... yeah, Money does matter...
Investment fear was banned by the cops from Personalfn appointed by Rama...
Realised.. Inflation is taxation without legislation ;-)...
My sleeping rupees ran away from me, without even telling me...
Still conservative, but not so stupid as before...

I now regret, why did I delay investing... longer I delay... the chase is difficult. Well, past is past, it is never too late... I am now committing the sin of waking up my money which was sleeping and keeping it awake when it is about to sleep...

Even after the lessons... I am still conservative, since I have a comparatively good memory than our politicians ;-). However, I am now comfortable investing and confident that I can make a good run over it.. thank you to my mentors for educating me.

Finally...
I know we all work hard, and we want to keep our hard earned money idle and safe, but.. remember the scary fact that you are actually losing it by doing it. The smarter way of growing money is to make your money work hard... it will multiply your asset and confidence which helps you to score your goals earlier...

It hit me very late in my career, coz I was playing defender, thought I could share it with you so that you can strike it earlier. An investment always pays the best interest, you can even start the chase with Rs. 500... so,

"Open the innings, Be aggressive, Play smart, Score more..."

...and do not forget to tell me about it ;-). Happy investing !!!
