“How to Get Rich by following simple 10
rules?” Yes, exactly you read it right. I am not gonna tell you Money Heist
plans or logarithms of winning lottery luck games! I will tell you the simple
and easy rules of money management by which you can create a happy rich life!
Any financial advisor will charge you around Rs.20K+ for these steps but in
this article, I am giving you all this for FREE!
I am a commerce student and handle finance
from years I started from ZERO and made my life good to go with these policies.
The basic thing you need to remember for
this is - To be rich you have to have a dream of being rich!
Let’s hit on the topic,
1. No
debts and liabilities- The first and foremost rule of getting rich from 0, is
to get rid of all those debts you are holding on to, or borrow now and then.
And if you don't have any debts then you are ready to get rich!
Do not take out that magic card termed as a
credit card unless it is the last option.
Do not spend high on marriages or family
functions for which you have to take loans. Cut down all high dependencies.
Do not push your big cheque to pay on
EMI’s.
2. No
Rich dad Poor Dad! - 80% of the rich people are not born to a Rich Dad! They
all started from the Zero. So do not console your mind or blame the destiny
with the lines like ‘He/She is born with a silver spoon so he/she got it all
readymade!’ or ‘I am destined to live like this, so I was born in such poor
family!’ If you want to reach the sky you need to build the ladder for that.
3. Be
an early bird and start NOW! – Almost all the rich people are not working for
other’s dreams. They are rich because they are working in their dream. So if
you wanna be rich then start working on your dream NOW! This doesn’t mean to
quit your job on which you and your dependents are living. Start part-time work
where you can spend 2-4 hours a day and get all the planning and homework done
and start it as soon as possible.
Example- A man had planned to start a
telephone booth in his newly constructed locality 25 years ago. But he was
unable to give a time for the business from his job, he kept on thinking but
never acted. Soon another person put on a telephone booth in that area and
slowly he added groceries and vegetables in the same shop and built a
supermarket in the same place after 20 years and today he has a lavish bunglow
and earning wonderful income. And the first person who thought of doing it is
still serving in his 9 to 5 job with the same limited source of his salary
income and living in the same old small house.
4. You
are not unique but you are, when you have passion! - I know it is confusing,
but I will explain. Someone in the world has already started earning on the
business ideas which you have in your mind now. But you need to start working
on your business idea with your style which is unique and you can also get that
limelight sooner or later.
Example- I will give my example for this as
I feel there is no one so much unique than me in writing in the present era! I
started blogging a couple of years ago, before me, and with me, there are
millions of bloggers around the world. They all blog on their contents but most
of them write on their niche segment but I write articles on numerous subjects
and today I have 4+lakh unique readers on my blog where they get a variety of
knowledge in one place.
I write simple English that you don’t need
a dictionary in your hand along with my book! I wrote and published books in 2
different genres i.e., romance and History. I created a difference in romance as well by writing a lesbian love
story recently. And this uniqueness made more ways for my business. I wrote my
first book in ‘Hinglish’ (Hindi language and English script) which was again a
unique style and numerous south Indian people who love reading Hindi romance
but are not comfortable with Hindi script, and they love my book.
I tried sketching in my history book which
again was loved by the readers.
I could do all that because writing and
sharing knowledge is my passion.
So try the unique ways of your business
idea and make it your passion.
5. Educate
yourself on what you want to do- We all had those years in school where we
learned just to get those good grades to please our relatives and the world
around us. Nobody loved those a²+b² formulas or action and reaction theories.
But if you want to start something for your
earning and create your brand then you need to read and educate yourself more
on that particular segment. All rich people do the same. Just for Eg- if you want to become a
photographer you need to learn how to take shots. If you wanna start the
restaurant you need to learn cooking. With all that you also need to think and
have that unique style of yours which is said in point 4. Because people love
to change!
6. Control
your spending- A research says that the middle-class are the people who run the
market of the entire world from pin to plane! They buy all the needless things
that are made for drilling a hole in their pocket!
Yes, most of the people in this world make
that mistake and live the life of the middle-class for the rest of their life
and that continues for generations! Focus on what are our necessaries- Food,
Cloth & Shelter. And what we actually do with these?
Food- The pandemic of Corona has taught us
to eat homemade food but before this average people spent 25-30% of their
income on those high-class AC restaurants or long drive highway Dhabas and
mouth-watering street foods! Cut these off and you can save at least 15% of
your income on this.
Clothes- Do you know just a normal plain
t-shirt will cost Rs.100-200 but if that gets a print of a well-known brand it
will cost you anywhere around Rs.1000 to Rs.5000! That is the marketing trap
and the name is Brand! They will sell you the same Rs.200 quality t-shirt at
1000!
Indian women spend a large amount of money
on dresses and sarees which sell like a hot cake during festivals and
ceremonies. Shopkeepers sell you Rs.500 saree at Rs.5000 and Rs.200 Kurtas at
Rs.2000 during seasons, and in the rainy season, they call a SALE and put all
rejected old stock clothes at a discounted price! And our women run in that
race as well. Use the good old clothes which you wore once or twice in the
family functions and save that money for good use!
Shelter – Today people want a high-class
society and lifestyle. So they rent an apartment in a posh locality which
cost’s 30% of their income! It could be reduced anywhere between 10- 15% for
staying in a decent locality.
In housing loan EMI eligibility, banks
consider >50% of the person’s monthly income for the EMI. But normally
people buy home with an expenditure of 70-80% of their income on EMI, and to
bear that liability, both the couple ends up doing 9-5 jobs in the name of
double-income support!
Which also many times cost family quarrels
on financial independence and take away peace of mind!
7. Say
no to those extra luxuries and live like a poor! – If you want to be rich then
live like a poor first! People buy I-phones, Macbook or expensive laptops,
smart TV, and Cars on debt! STOP ALL THOSE LUXURIES!
A decent good quality phone will come at a
10% cost of the iPhone! You don’t need Macbook, smart TV just to watch Netflix
and Youtube!!
A car is not at all necessary if your job
doesn’t ask for it. Some buy a car for show off and it will simply occupy the
parking area to utilise that extra payment you made to buy that parking space
in your apartment!
Say no to lifestyle supplements and diet
food- This is the biggest scam drama in the current world! These products
target all the middle-class people! These companies are diverting everyone’s
mind on their weight and health by scaring them.
All diet foods come with double the price
tag of normal food! NO brown rice, brown sugar, brown things, olive or rice
bran oil, and those green tea, protein supplement medicinal supplements will
help you reduce your weight! TRUST ME! They will just REDUCE YOUR BANK BALANCE!
These are the multi Trillion companies that are targeting each and everyone in
the name of health and care!
These are all new in the market you never
know what they will cost on your health 30 years down the line! If you want to
lose weight then workout, eat on time, eat the food that is available in your
region, sleep well and live a stress-free life by throwing out that extra fat
thought from your mind! Save that large portion of money!
8. Invest
Money – This is the big point! Make your money earn money but first liquidity
is very important. Always keep 2-3 months' expenses as a backup in liquidity.
And Invest the rest of the amount to earn for you.
The best investments in the entire world
are,
Stocks - High risk you might earn a
thousand times the amount you invested but also have a risk of losing, need
good research and expertise on this.
Mutual funds -Medium risk as funds will be
diverted in various companies.
Bonds -Low risk yet need good advice before
investing.
Gold- Not gold jewelry! Ornaments come with
making charges and mixture deductions. But gold coins and gold biscuits will
give moderate profit.
Real estate- The best and most popular way
of investment, buy land, and sell it when the market is up or Buy a house and
rent it. Make it earn for you.
If you buy a house on EMI and live in that
house it will not create any income. But be wise and buy that house on loan,
not more than 50%, and by the time the loan gets cleared the rate of that house
should be double the amount of you invested on it along with the interest you
gave in your installments.
9. Take
a helping hand- Any business will take 7-10 years to achieve success on
full-time work, that comes with lots of failures and regrets. As I said above
do not quit your job and instead work part-time on your dream and invest
2-4 hours daily with dedication. And if
your income is enough for your family, and you haven’t made that mistake of
taking large EMI for which both the partners are working to get double income
so that one’s income can pay the EMI and the other would earn to meet the
monthly budget, then invest your partner’s time in your business. Let your
Partner work on your dream.
10. Be
disciplined and do not stop dreaming- Work every day at least 1 to 2hours but
be disciplined to give your time on your dream. Do not quit as per research 90%
of every new business fails. But never lose hope and keep trying, push yourself
to create more innovative ways to start over again.
The bonus point always checks on your
expenses. Make a monthly budget and run your house with that amount. Do let me know in the comments section how
