Every win life is followed by an "uneasy decision", Investment win is no different
Typical #investment journey of salaried individual:
Stage 1: Age 23-24. Just started a career. Barely set aside 500-1k โน/month.
Will put it in bank or small SIPs.
If it can buy a smartphone towards end of year, more than enough.
But the internet calls'em loser.
Frustrated! ๐ช
Stage 5: Age 32 and 35. Keeping track of small numbers seems irrelevant.
Think about "Investment and its purpose" whole new way.
Learns that money is "a fuel to run the life" not "the life"
Understands economy better than 25 YO self.
Set better goals, increase learning.
Knows what, when and how of #investing
Get frequent Interactions with HNIs. Understands meaning of "financial peace" ๐
