How to become Wealthy

Don't we all aspire to work until we reach a point when we have enough money saved that we can live off our investment returns and monthly pension instalments? Better still, build a corpus large enough to sustain our retirement dreams without compromising on a decent living, children education, life insurance and yearly gratification goals.

Unlike the existing money masters of the world, all of us may not have been gifted with the wisdom to make money and multiply it beating inflation and expenses. However, if we try to learn and absorb the pattern of the mavericks that have attained financial independence we can also convert a few snowflakes into a snowball of money.

Here are some of the time-tested money-making attributes towards a road of financial independence through wealth creation:-

1) Learning the power of compounding

The riches from the very start have known the immense power of compounding. Billionaire Warren Buffett's wisdom in his biography by Alice Schroeder reveals that he was captivated with "the way the numbers (invested amount) exploded as they grew at a constant rate over time was how a small sum could turn into a fortune". Compound interest is an interest calculated on the initial principal amount as well as the accumulated interest of the previous period. It is basically an "interest on interest". Moreover, the more the frequency of compounding, the greater will be the compound interest. An amount of Rs 1000 compounded 10% annually will be lower than the amount on Rs 1000 compounded 5% semi-annually over the same period of time. Sounds magical, right?


2) Living a minimal life

The money-masters know that there is no virtue in cluttering. If our life cycle is indicative of work-paycheck-purchase-consume-work, then it needs a serious cosmetic surgery. A research reveals that we only use 40% of the clothes in our wardrobes; we spend most of our disposable income in buying assets with no intrinsic value and later on regret our poverty. The conscious decision of living a minimal life involves purchasing things of indispensable needs and resisting the temptation of upgrading smartphones, laptops and our wardrobes.


3) Frugality is a new virtue

According to a report by consulting firm Deloitte, millennials don't save money. Mostly those who come to metro cities with big dreams and extra small budgets owing to young careers, spend 35% of the money left after paying rent and food for eating out and relaxation. 60% is spent on purchasing new items every month. It is imperative to advise people struggling to strike a balance between saving and spending by adopting a frugal lifestyle.


4) Power of delayed gratification

Our forefathers and two generation before our generation were much happier. The very reason for their happiness lies in practising a superpower named as "patience". They knew that there is no shortcut in life. Also, seeing the economic and political instability pre-liberal era of Indian economy and the great depression of 1929, they knew how important it was to suppress instant desires for a better gratification in future. We can also learn to adopt this financial strategy by simply letting go of 100, Rs. 200 coffee at Starbucks in order to buy a high-quality Rs 20,000 coffee-machine.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

Salary planning Article

1. The salary (basic + DA) should be low. The rest should come by way of such allowances on which the employer pays FBT and you don't pay any tax thereon. 2.

Understandably, if the house belongs to a family member who is at a low or nil tax zone the family benefits. Yes, the maximum benefit accrues when the rent is over 20 per cent of the salary. 5. A chauffeur driven motor car provided by the employer has no perk value. True, the company would...

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
