Due to the overwhelming response on my last post, with tens of inbox messages, thousands of views of the post, comments and likes, I would now start sharing my take on how I managed to change things around so radically and lead myself out from utter poverty to a relatively financially powerful state in just two years!
Izzat? Bike pe jaonga tw image khrb hoge! Bhar main dalo log kya sochte hain. What should matter for you is your own self and your own progress! Success never comes easy and for it, you need to be shamelessly confident individual who doesn't care for anything other than his/her success!
Getting a smartphone worth more than 15k! Isnt it idiotic that you spend 40k for a smartphone on which you just indulge in stupid Whatsapp messages, take stupid pictures of yourself to post on Instagram and other incredibly meaningless stuff and after a year of use, the value of that phone goes down from 40k to 20k! A 50% decrease in value! Didn't your MBA or BBA teach you that you dont buy an asset that depreciates so much in value? Where the hell is your brain? Just to say that, "Everyone has it" is the stupidest thing you could ever do!
Organizing idiotic birthday parties! I am sure that all of you must have seen those stupid pictures from someone's recent birthday party which was organized on a cruise or in a swanky restaurant with all those stupid flame throwing candles, stupid joke cakes from hob knob and other such idiotic paraphernalia! What? are you a 4 year old child? Grow up already!
Going out too much for movies and food! Spending 1000 Rs on a single meal when you not even earn 40k is such incredible stupidity. This is 75% of your day's salary if you have a 40k paying job! Are you out of your minds?
Buying clothes that are worth nothing! Buying new shirts or suits every month? Spending 5-6 on it? why cant you just wear the same clothes you have when they are clean enough to wear? Want to look and feel good? Well, sorry to break it you, but NOBODY CARES! Its just a voice in your stupid head that makes you buy such stuff, nothing else. Just thing for a moment, do you remember what your best office mate was wearing 3 days back? No right? Thats how much other people care about you as well!
I can give hundreds of such examples of young people indulging in such stupidities and this is one of the biggest reasons why they dont achieve financial stability early on in their lives and then start switching jobs in order to get a higher salary. Maybe 5k higher., maybe 10k higher? But remember one thing, if you keep doing what you are already doing, you wont be any richer even if you get a new job that pays 30k higher than your last one, because you dont know how to value money!
Coming back to myself! as I mentioned earlier, I started off with a 50k salary and obviously, like everyone else, I had to bear the responsibilities of my home. I gave 30k to my mom for electricity and other bills, monthly ration expenses and other things.
What was I left with? 20k! How much did I spend per month? Just 4k. Thats 120 RS per day! How? I never had a lunch meal in office of more than 50 Rs. Mostly, I used to eat daal channa with two tandoori rotis, which costed me around 50 Rs because I ate from a nearby thella. I also used to eat French Fries, Samosas and other such things for my daily lunch meals. Never exceeding 50Rs.
When my BCs opened after 11 months, because I had the 11th number, I used those 3 lakhs to buy a used Santro costing 3.45 lakhs. I added 45k from money generated from other works I indulged in like real estate deals etc.
I gave that used Santro to be driven in Uber with a guy I knew from a distant family relation for a fixed return of 25k each month. The driver could keep any amount that he generate above that for himself, whether be it 30k or 50k, it was all his!
This all happened in just 2 years! And this is not the only investment or revenue stream I had in those two years. I also used to work apart from my office job and did almost every kind of work like selling or renting homes, selling rickshaws, motorcycles, cars etc. At the start of it, I didnt even earn 1500 Rs in commission for the first two months. But now, I usually get around 40-60k on average each month from my work in this sphere. And I invested all of this money as well, keeping just 2-4k for myself.
From the money I made from my work outside my job, I invested in a small french fries shop in my area that started giving me around 500-600 Rs per day on a 1 lakh Rs investment. That makes it around 16-18k per month. I also invested in a friend's old clothing shop of an amount of 1 lakh Rs, which gives me around 10-13k per month.
Now adding the 8 lakh Rs I made from the money I saved from my salary along with the savings I made from the revenue generated from my outside investments, I now have CASH of around 16 lakh Rs in my bank account. Of which, I used to buy a car that costed 6 lakh Rs, while keeping the rest of the money to be invested somewhere else. And this CASH is apart from the value of my assets which have grown in value. The investment in the french fries shop is now worth around 3 lakh Rs (The shop has gotten quite big and now offers samosas, rolls, chips, drinks along with french fries), while the investment in the clothing business is now worth 2 lakh Rs, after taking into account my growing share in the venture.
You might have heard people say that Paise peeron pe nahe ugte or Money doesnt grow on trees. Yes it doesnt. But money can grow like a Tree if you know how to cultivate it and use it to your own advantage!

In the last couple of months, cyber crimes in India have shown a rapid increase and stories of innocent people being duped of their hard-earned money have surfaced online. In most cases, the scammers approach the victim via a text message or a phone call and narrate a convincing story to them, which often contains monetary profit as a hook. The cybercriminals then gain the victims' trust by crediting a small amount of money to their account. Once they are sure that the victim trusts them, they ask him/her to deposit money in an account on some or the other pretext.advertisementWoman loses Rs 7.23 lakh in part-time job scamSomething similar happened with a Mumbai-based accountant, who got caught up in scammers' lies and ended up losing Rs 7.23 lakhs. According to a Free Press Journal report, the 27-year-old woman received a link for a part-time job offer on her phone last week. The 'job offer' message said that there was a possibility of earning money by subscribing to YouTube channels. The message also contained links to two YouTube channels.
When the woman subscribed to the two channels mentioned in the message, she got Rs 120 credited to her account. Then, the scammers asked her to send a screenshot of the subscribed YouTube accounts. They also sent her a 'job code' and asked her to send it to a Telegram account. After she sent the job code to the aforementioned Telegram account, the cybercriminals asked the woman for her bank details.
What followed next was rather unexpected. The scammers deposited money in the woman's account over the course of the next couple of days for completing various tasks. However, eventually, they allegedly store Rs 7,23,889 from her account in four different transactions.
When the woman realised that she had been scammed, she reported the incident to the police. An FIR has been registered against the alleged cyber criminals under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information and Technology Act. An investigation into the matter has also been launched.How to stay safe?
There are a couple of things that people can keep in mind in order to stay safe from such scams. Firstly, it is best to apply for jobs from authentic portals dedicated to the same like LinkedIn, Naukri.com, Indeed, etc. However, if you must apply through jobs via other means, perform a thorough check of the person who is offering the job and check how legitimate he/she is. Ask them details like their name, the name of their company, etc. A simple Google search at times can help you to identify if the company that is offering the job even exists or not.
At last, never transfer money into a strangers' bank account and do not share your banking credentials with anyone.

The decision comes as Taiwan grapples with an ageing population, necessitating a larger workforce. By 2025, Taiwan is projected to become a "super-aged" society, with the elderly constituting over a fifth of the population.
The report suggested that this labour pact could heighten geopolitical tensions with China, which has consistently opposed any official exchanges with Taiwan, a self-governed island that Beijing claims as its own territory.
Similarly, an earlier report stated that Israel was looking to hire one lakh workers from India in a bid to replace Palestinians who were fired from jobs after the Israel-Hamas war broke out.
According to a Voice of America (VOA) News report, Israel's construction sector confirmed it had asked its government to allow companies to hire up to one lakh workers from India to replace about 90,000 Palestinians.
