The subject of personal finance involves a lot of emotional discipline, patience and knowledge. My blogs on this site shall be an attempt to simplify financial jargon and understanding of basic finances pertaining to a common investor. Anyone who reads this blog is literate but how many of us are financially literate? As a friend once told me, Chanakya had advised Chandragupta Maurya that never give the death penalty to a knowledgeable person, for if you kill him the spread of knowledge ends.
There are more knowledgeable people than myself. But my attempt is to spread what I know to all my “fauji” brethren who to my mind are as financially illiterate as the average common man is. Thus, this blog though written from the viewpoint of an armed forces person will be equally applicable to doctors, lawyers, engineers, MBAs, CAs………anyone who is looking for inputs/suggestions on matters of personal finance.
I shall be dealing with issues related to investments in stocks, mutual funds, real estate, insurance, savings, speculating, bullion, bonds etc.
I would love brickbats, for they will help me to improve and bouquets for they will keep me going.
Ciao! Hasta La Vista!
