How to make your old retired parents RICH ????

By

This blog is for all of our elderly respected and beloved parents…
Who sacrificed on daily basis their youth in order to take care of us nicely…

As per Lord Buddha "I tell you, monks, there are two people who are not easy to repay. Which two? Your mother & father.

So it is our moral responsibility to take care of them in their old ages…. Both emotionally and financially.

If your parents are retired and got their pension and gratuity, then you can help them in growing their retirement money in many folds….. How?????

In our young days we may be aggressive investor or trader,,, but in the retirement age people never want to risk their retirement fund either in stuck and MF….Eventually in India most of the old parents use Post office savings as investment weapon… Is not it!!!! At least I have seen this in my family and surroundings for decades…. As a guy from a small city I noticed people prohibit themselves from stock and mutual funds due to their lack of awareness ….During old days they save their money in nearest Post Office for easy accessibility and less paper work.

And guys this PO deposits also can make your parents rich…. How???



But you guys need to assist them in become one J No I am not saying you guys to add money to their retirement kitty… if you do that highly appreciated. You just need to the help them in doing paper work of bank and other offices…

Let us start our calculation as below:

You might have heard that there is scheme “Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) Account”.

where it gives 9.2% for people above 60 years old and above 55 years (special case).

Suppose your parents retired with 50 lakh pension and gratuity..In above scheme they can make a deposit of maximum 15 lakh. So the quarterly interest of 15 lakh would be Rs 34, 500/-

If they deposit the same amount in a postal RD account then do you know what would be the interest they will accumulate in the Postal RD account???? J


No wonder it would be around 8.6 lakh (Rs 858,483.08 /-) without any risk any hard work, rather your money will make money for itself. Again the power of compounding comes into picture.

 

 

Post Office
SCSS
Quarterly Interest
9.2%
RD deposit
8.4%
Duration
Interest accumulated
Net Money After 5 years(In lakh)
1500000
34500
34500
5 years
858,483.08
2358483.08

 

 

Do you know what is the net return here, It is almost 57 % J !!!

Net Return is 23.6Lakh!!

Without any hassle and risk with 100% peace of mind J

 

If you guys make little effort and help your parents to put the same interest amount in some high interest earning senior citizen RD with some other bank or corporate RD then the interest would be definitely much more than this J as below :

 

Post Office
Other Bank RD/Corporate RD
SCSS
Quarterly Interest
9.2%
RD deposit
9.75%
Duration
Interest accumulated
Net Money After 5 years
1500000
34500
34500
5 years
885813.47
2385813.47

 It is almost 59% return!!!

 So the net return would be around 24 Lakh J


Suppose some bank is giving 11% interest on RD then the return would be as below:


Post Office
Other Bank RD/Corporate RD
SCSS
Quarterly Interest
9.2%
RD deposit
11%
Duration
Interest accumulated
Net Money After 5 years(In Lakh)
1500000
34500
34500
5 years
922,840.45
2,422,840.00

 Wow it is almost 62 % return

 So the net return would be around 24.5 Lakh J

 

Now you guys can put an argument, why saving and compounding at this old age …..

I would say with improved health care facility, the average Indian life span increased to 72 years old for women and 70 year for man.


[The average all-India life expectancy figure is currently 63.7 years for both males and females. By 2016, an average Indian male and female will live till 68.8 and 71.1 years, respectively. This will increase by one more year for an average male by 2021 (69.8 years) and by 1.2 years for an average female (72.1), according to Union health ministry's life expectation (LE)]

Also year on year inflation is getting increased. Ex: Please check Horlicks price every year you will get to know. You can compare other living cost like food, milk HRA etc...Hence the saving money which we have today in our account may not be sufficient tomorrow.We need to work in order to increase our saving so that tomorrow we will not fall in short of money.

More over you can go to your parents and speak; they will tell you better than me because they have seen more life and world than me J

Apart from for SCSS deposit, your parents can show in 80 C tax savings.

So why I wrote this, you guys must know:

If we keep this saving spirit for coming days then as a family we can be self dependent. And I do believe as a country we can become little rich too.
When you guys become parents you can teach your kids saving and investment in their early years.

In a recent study it has been found that –
“Parents failing to teach their children how to manage their money are responsible for their offspring facing financial difficulties when they become adults, according to new research.”

The study also reveals “parents are largely to blame for lack of finance skills.”
This is definitely a great threat to our society!!

Hence we need to educate ourselves on finance matters.


Do you guys agree to this ???

Note : Here i did not consider the taxation part.

The Monkey , Goat and Stock Story :)

By
So there was this village where one day a man appeared and said that he wanted to buy monkeys. He said that he would pay a hundred rupees per monkey. The villagers caught all the monkeys in the neighborhood and sold them to him for a hundred rupees each. Soon another man appeared and said that he would pay two hundred rupees for each monkey. But there weren't any more monkeys around. They were all owned by the first man. So the villagers went to him and said that they were willing to take the monkeys back and return his money. But the monkey owner was unwilling to sell. The villagers raised the offer price to Rs 150 per monkey, then Rs 175 and finally to Rs 199 but the man just didn't want to sell, even though he clearly didn't have any use for the monkeys. Eventually, just to see whether he would sell, they offered him Rs 200 but he still refused. The villagers were puzzled by this. Finally, one of them figured out that there must be someone else who was going to...

How To Become Rich???? Part-1

By
You are reading this blog means you have an aspiration to become rich….. Wish you  Good luck   in   your  future   endeavours…. In this materialistic world everybody wants to become rich ….. Isn't it! But very few know the way to find this….. I completed reading the book “think rich and grow rich” by Napoleon Hill, “ Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki and in the mid of reading another awesome book “the richest man in Babylon” by George S. Clason. Just could not stop myself from sharing the secrets with you. Though these books were written almost a century or half a century back, I will try to co–relate this with our modern age. Coming to the point, my back ground is from IT. So I will give you an example of people mindset from this field. As a software engineer I saw people going crazy of working from onsite and making quick money by earning dollars or any other format of currency whose value is stronger as compared to Indian...

Is debt fund is better than a FD with 10% interest?

By
Last weekend I thought of doing a FD and was checking with various corporate FD and Bank FDs What I found DHFL corporate FD for 40 months is giving 10.10% interest. But I had a mixed  experience with FDs because last time when I did FD with HDFC ltd , though I did with high interest rate of 10.50%, I got minimal return because of taxation. This time I did not want to repeat the same mistake. So I was checking what are other avenues where post tax return for me would be better than these high interest rate FDs. I found debt funds are better than bank FDs in long run for post-tax return. Now question arises how?  J Before understanding we need to understand  Cost Inflation Index(CII) What is CII? It is used for calculating long term capital gain from income tax act section 48 CBDT has notified the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for Financial Year 2014-15. Complete Notification is Given Below. SECTION 48, EXPLANATION (v) OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT...
