Beyond the Fixed Deposit: Why Beating Inflation Requires a Shift in Perspective

Image
When we think about financial safety in India, the traditional choice has almost always been the humble Fixed Deposit (FD) or public savings schemes. They are safe, predictable, and let you sleep peacefully at night. But there is a hidden flaw in relying entirely on low-risk, fixed-return instruments for long-term wealth: Inflation . While an FD protects your nominal capital (your 1 Lakh rupees will still say 1 Lakh rupees on paper), it silently erodes your purchasing power . If your savings are earning 6% interest but the cost of healthcare, education, and daily living is rising at 6% to 7% a year, your real return is zero—or negative. To build true financial security over a 10, 15, or 20-year horizon, we have to look past the illusion of absolute safety and understand how risk actually works. The Three Stages of Wealth Management Before jumping into market-linked investments to beat inflation, a disciplined framework must be followed. Think of it as building a house; you cannot buil...

  Why Invest in Mutual Funds? When considering investing, one should first create an emergency fund that will take care of your expenses for at least six months. Then you need to have health and life insurance before you start your first investment. Usually, most of us invest whatever is surplus after spending. Instead, we should first try to decide on our investment amount and then spend whatever is left. This will help us limit their discretionary spending. It works for those who have just started earning or want to start their investment journey.   To start your investment, you should analyze your goals i.e. long-term and short-term goals. The time horizon of your short-term goals can be from one week to one year while long-term goals can be 5 or 10 or 20 years.   What is a Mutual Fund? Mutual fund is an investment medium where multiple investors pool their money to earn a return on their capital over a period. This corpus of funds is managed by an investme...

Water Crisis: Why nobody talks about it?

Image
In India we all talk about saving our rivers especially the Ganga, but do we really believe in this cause. An average Indian is far less concerned about it. But what is far more worrying being not the river pollution but the extensive use of under water. Nearly all cities are on the verge of collapse of their water supply and some have already collapsed eg. Chennai. Government is trying to provide water through different sources but is least concerned about correcting the natural water reservoirs. The Modi government has started a new programme of providing water for all but to implement this programme proper under water management has to be implemented by reducing dependence on bore well & submersible pumps and increasing number of small water reservoirs, rain water harvesting and reuse of used water then only our huge dependence on river and under water supplies shall be managed and water for all will reduce and this will not come just by government initiatives but people...

Rafael : The missed target of Congress

When in November 2016 Congress accused the Modi government of causing a huge loss to exchequer nearly Rs. 56000 crores, it rocked the whole political environment. But as the Congress persuaded the matter they began to deviate from the claim and every time Mr. Rahul Gandhi came up with a new figure. He began to compare between two deals out of which one which he claims of UPA time was never signed and hence is not in public domain to verify his claim. His sifting price each and every time started to create a doubt.   Congress had a golden opportunity to question the government, but in place of putting a shifting value by Mr. Rahul Gandhi, he should have kept his questions limited the following points from the government : 1. Why Anil Ambani company involved? 2. Why HAL was given red signal? 3. Why only 26 planes where being bought when IAF needed 126? 4. Why PMO was involved in the negotiations? Mr. Gandhi should have also restrai...
