3 Money Lessons To Build Lasting Wealth
The Economic Times
Dear Reader,
At The Economic Times, we see a common pattern: most Indians work hard, save regularly — yet struggle to build lasting wealth. The difference isn’t income. It’s financial awareness.
That’s why we’ve put together this quick newsletter with 3 powerful lessons every investor should know — practical insights you can start using today.
1. What Really Makes a Good Investment?
It’s not the stock that jumps overnight. It’s the one that grows with India’s economy.
- Sensex & Nifty mirror the top companies driving growth.
- As they produce more, your wealth grows too.
- Mistake to avoid: chasing hot tips instead of the economy’s expansion.
Takeaway: Don’t look for the next big tip. Look for India’s growth reflected in the index.
2. Cheap or Expensive? Use the Market Cap-to-GDP Ratio
The simplest way to know if markets are overpriced:
- Market Cap ≈ GDP → Fair Value
- Market Cap ≫ GDP → Expensive
- Market Cap ≪ GDP → Undervalued
Takeaway: Numbers cut through mood and media noise.
3. The Inflation Reality Check
At just 6% inflation, ₹50,000 monthly expenses today → ₹1.6 lakh in 20 years.
- FDs and savings may feel safe, but they lose real value.
- Equities, aligned with growth, are the proven way to beat inflation.
Takeaway: Safety without growth is the biggest hidden risk.
These are just a preview. In our FREE 3-Hour Financial Freedom Awareness Session, we’ll dive deeper into:
- Building financial plans for every life stage
- Avoiding mistakes that drain crores
- Practical, India-focused tools you can apply instantly
