I will make you rich

Someone sits on some market street and sells this “mantra to a whole world.” Like any vendor selling his products in the local wet market. I wonder how Singapore would look if financial products or loans were sold at a wet market. Jokes apart, it is not funny when you fall for such things, like ” I will make you rich “, “you will become rich before you hit 30“. “you look rich, how aren’t you say you aren’t rich ” and there are more.

I am sitting in Singapore and living a reasonably moderate life all my years. I have understood one secret mantra that you do not get rich in a jiffy. Neither one can be as fit as a fiddle without any proper exercise or a well-balanced diet. Too much hyped sugar-coated tart messages marketed to you either in the form of a subscription or SMS might define unknown trouble.

Read this with a pinch of salt. That’s total bs***

I am no finance guru, but I would like to share a straightforward fact with you like an average commoner. One must have some rainy day savings and, above all, a savings plan which one has access to, not in some policies but which one can access with ease. That must not be shared with anyone, not even with your best chum. Try to focus on building your wealth cause you are not an ATM machine that will churn out money when you are badly in need of it. Neither those subscriptions will pay you back, I mean those who had promised you some years ago that they will make you rich. Let us face the most brutal fact ever. When you are seriously in need of money, friends start distancing, relatives don’t entertain you, or your loved ones just keep you out of their social list. Cause one can’t predict rain, neither anyone could expect a calamity in the form of a pandemic.

So the most important thing for such situations is always to have secured funds for a rainy day. If you are a student, a writer, an entrepreneur, or a businessman, always remember to keep an active savings fund where you can save your money every month. This will not only help you when such situations occur, but you can also deal with it smartly and not sadly.

Out of 108 people inside a room, maybe 30 of them had secured their rainy day funds when they understood the worth and value.

I did mine too from an age when I realized that money is not about Gucci bags and Louis Vuitton wallets or Dior makeup. It is like a fad statement that is good enough for temporary pleasure.
.. I just reminded myself of one thing I heard in some video where the glamorous mystic Sadhguru mentions that “do you wish to live a life of a bhogi, a rogi or a yogi “
Staying or experiencing a monk’s life is not a trajectory; neither starting a savings plan at the eleventh hour will be of any help to you. What you can do now is “being in the moment” and growing your wealth most securely and with a conscious effort.

So much for now, as I scribble these lines from my comfort zone, that is my home in Singapore, like nothing as much relaxing and content to be alive every moment with the sounds and smell of what I call “Truly Asia.”

It’s time to wind up, and before I log off, stay safe and protected, my dear friends, wherever you are. And do not forget to wear your mask.

Good Night 😛

2+2=4

Writers are among the most sensitive, most intellectually anarchic, most representative, most probing of artists. The writer’s ability to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange, and to mystify the familiar – all this is the test of her or his power.” Paulo Coelho (The Zahir)

A writer who is free from dogmas and doesn’t care about the words he uses or constructs his plot with his or her free-thinking, well, those types of people might not make you rich but will share with you simple living. They do well – ithinkfree 🙂

Like everyone who loves watching YouTube videos, I am no less. I enjoy some helpful self-learning videos. Today I will share the best videos from which you can genuinely learn and use for your informal learning.

So much so you need not spend that extra cash on Skillshare or Udemy.
I think the essential option and way to save money is how you save the money.

You can’t have 2min maggie noodles every day for dinner and kill your emotional well being just because you are holding that extra cash. Keep saving but spend wisely for which you genuinely need to spend your money. Always have a healthy meal, be it cooked or a vegan salad, but make sure you eat with your pita or rice and add some lean proteins as well. Always remember this crucial fact, do not sacrifice essential things for saving money. You must know what will add value to your life.

There is nothing like a good home-cooked meal and a lesson learned from a great Youtube video.

The simple truth of living and understanding life is what you spend every time, which is probably a big fix to several issues you experience with other problems you might not have thought of ever.

Listed below are few links who I had followed and understood without spending any dime or a dollar.

Tyler Moore specialist in web design with lot of clear information.

The Green Machine the art of aquascaping. Everybody must invest some quality time in some hobby, be it photography or writing.

Sync Mind – Binaural Beats Meditation, these Sessions can awaken and inspire people to change their lives, bringing a sense of love, joy, inner peace, success, confidence, and stress relief.

Sadhguru is a yogi, mystic, bestselling author, and poet. Absolute clarity of perception places him in a unique space, not only in matters spiritual but in business, environmental and international affairs, and opens a new door on all that he touches.

Green Renaissance they on a journey to inspire change – creating beautiful, meaningful stories.

There are quite some more I had followed and eventually unfollowed within a period of time. In fact, we must not enroll for paid courses if we think it won’t help us or just go for it on a trial and error option. That is the most wrong way to calculate your mental 2+2 = 4

I believe we and our sensible thinking makes two of us, in our decisions we make. Please don’t dwell in other people’s splendid ideas where you need to spend money. Your 2$ is your hard earned money, no matter in whichever form you have earned it. Keep that 2$ and treat yourself a popsicle someday but please do not enroll for courses that doesn’t make sense to you.

ps. I am not marketing anyone or a product. I just felt good when sharing them on my blog.

The $$$$ Game

There is something evident about money-saving methods. One can understand the importance of it with time as one gets older and face situations. Life indeed is genuinely a great teacher, like some patron to understand the fundamental realities life offers. So much so that we do not understand its importance till we are in that situation called ‘life’.

Let us start with something that is around you, for example, a 1$ coin.

A lot of us have a collection of colorful mason jars. Today, before you go to bed or retire at night, make sure to bring out one of your mason jars unused and lying in one corner. Wash it nicely with warm water and salt. They say anything that is cleaned with salt gets free from negative vibes.
After cleaning with a dry cloth, set it somewhere near your table so that you can actually look at it and constantly add your 1$ coins in there. Make sure you do not remove any dime from the jar unless it is packed with coins. Try this simple method from today and see the difference by the jar’s time brimming with money. Honestly speaking, looks quite classy on the table and definitely creates a good chi.

So friends, what are you waiting for? Start your 1$ Savings Plan today.

So much for now, I will definitely come back with more ideas. Stay safe and protected, and do wear your mask.
