 Time & Money
• Let’s begin with a story! There was a village with a
drought. The Chief of the village found the two
smartest men he could find and gave them each
Rs.10,000. Their mission…..bring water to the people.
• The 1st man was a hard worker and started a business.
• The 2nd man was an investor and built a pipeline.
 And the winner is……
• Not only did the second man win the
contest, but he found a way to have water
(money) come in even when he wasn’t
working.

• Both men started from the same

background, with the same experience,
and the same amount of money. The only
difference was that the 1st man worked
hard for his money and the second man
hadworld
“The his money workvery

– Rupert Murdoch
Retire Rich & Young…What?
Different People have different meanings –
Some say good lifestyle, no pressure to earn money
etc.
While others say pursuing hobby, not going to work.
Retire Rich & Young, to us, means,

“subscribing to an increasing standard of living,

without having increasing effort to maintain it.”
 Retire Rich & Young…Why?
To do what I like to do & not just work for
money.
To pursue my hobbies, interests which
were left behind in Rat Race.
To spend more times with Loved ones,
family & friends
To help people, take up a social cause &
to make this world a better place.
Whatever be the objective, we all
agree that there is a need….
Retire Rich & Young… How?

That’s Precisely what this program is

all about…

Lets first Unlearn a few Concepts,

that we have gathered during the
course of our learnings in Life…

 Arbitrage
• Your Re.1 at work at the bank.
• Rs.10 for every Re.1. By RBI Rules, banks can
lend out Rs.10 for every Re.1 that you give
them. Meaning they have made up Rs.9 of
borrow able money out of thin air. Where do I
get some of that?
• They say open an account with us and we’ll
give you anywhere from 1% to 5% interest.
We’ll even give you stuff!
• Then they then turn around and lend you the
money right back saying borrow money from
us and we’ll only charge you 10% to 27%
interest.
• And that is why banks have beautiful
fountains, golden chandeliers, and marble
floors. Your money paid for it!

• Buy rate…….
Rs.100,000 Home,really?
make a down
payment of 20% (Rs.20,000) and borrow the
remaining balance Rs.80,000 at 8% interest
with a 30 year term fixed loan.
• In five years you will pay a total of Rs.35,220
to the bank, Rs.31,276 for interest (that is
only Rs.3,944 for Principal Repayment).
• With the loan taken to term, 30 years, you
will have paid Rs.211,323 total principal and
interest (Rs.131,323 paid in interest).
• Rs.131,323 more like 160% not 8%.
• You’re getting the truth, just not the whole
truth.
 Top Two Money Eaters…

TAXES & Death are the two things which

we cannot avoid, so we defer them ALAP.

INFLATION is number two evil that eats

away our money like a rodent
 Why do we follow the
crowd?
We are going to read your mind. That’s right
read your mind! Ready…..

1. Pick a # between 1 and 10.

2. Now multiply that # by 2.
3. Add eight to that #.
4. Divide that # by 2.
5. Now subtract the # you started with from
that #.
6. Now what ever # you have in your mind,

 How Do We Get Out?
“Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a brilliant scientist who won
the Noble Prize twice in his lifetime, stated,
“Discovery consists of seeing what everybody
has seen, but thinking what nobody has
thought.” People often make the mistake of
asking people who are trapped inside the same
box (or way of thinking) how to get out of the
box. What they don’t realize is, the instructions
on how to escape that box are written on the
outside.
 Practice What They
•
Preach?
Ask your banker/financial planner these
questions!
• Where is the majority of your money
coming from? i.e. commission, fees, salary
vs. investments.
• How long did it take you to become a
broker?
• Can you guarantee that return on my
investment? i.e. the prospectus and small
writing.
• You see,

 Time Is Your Friend

asset
• Compound interest is awesome
• For every decade that savings is
delayed, the required investment
triples

Let us first understand the difference between

good Loan & Bad Loan
 “Here are 5 great reasons to carry a big, long mortgage and
never pay it off.” - Ric Edelman, Author of The Truth About
Money (1997 Book of the Year).

1. Mortgages Don’t Affect Home Value

The value of your property is going to rise or fall
regardless of whether or not you have a mortgage.
You wouldn’t keep Rs.100,000 between the
mattresses, why would you keep it in your house?

2. Your Mortgage Is The Cheapest Money You’ll

Every Buy
People have a ton of debt, i.e. credit cards, auto loans,
student loans, etc. By far, the cheapest loan you can
get is a mortgage loan. Why wouldn’t you borrow
against your house at 6% acquiring more assets to
increase your R.O.I., instead of borrowing with a 18%
credit card.
3. You Might Need The Cash
Financial Troubles? i.e. retirement, job loss, medical,
family, marital, college, etc. Banks only like to lend
money when they know it can be paid back.

4. Tax Law Encourages You To Have A Mortgage.

Mortgage insurance and interest is tax deductible
whereas interest on other loans are not. In essence
the government rewards you with cash back for
paying interest on your mortgage.

5. Mortgages Become Cheaper Over Time

Depending on the loan you choose, your mortgage
payment stays the same over time. However your
income increases making the payments easier to
make.
