You would unneccesarily take more responsibility (which you never asked for). More responsibility = More Stress = Less life = Less you

How to not fall in financial trouble

Generally people fall in debt or some sort of situation where in they are facing severe cash crunch with no positive hope from any direction. More often this situation arises when you have not planned and got into a marital relationship.

For the just married, confused (make sure you have a gap of at-least 24 to 36 months between you 1st day at new job to 1st day of married life)

1. When you start earning make sure you spend the first three months of money for whatever you wish and your mind thinks of and which you can afford out of your own income.

2. From the 4th month onwards. set aside a fractional amount of money say 10% (or for that matter 1% of the income for some sought of savings.

3. Now from 4th Month till 7th month spend all the 99% or 90% (depending on what you decided in previous step) of money as you wish.

4. Now the real game starts: from the 8th month onwards set aside 35% of the income strictly to savings.

5. On the 1st day of the married life you would be all the way smiling just looking at the secured state of your financial affairs.

Last but not the least, when you are saving make sure you split it between you, your spouse expenses/pension schemes and on the other hand you child's birth/future expenses.


Rent house search tips

When searching for a rent house always make sure it is vaastu complaint. Vaastu is nothing but the prescribed arrangement of house elements with scientific proof for more positive energy inflow and prosperity.

Some basic things to look for:

  • Is the new house positive on all the aspects or at-least 90% of the aspects compared to the current accommodation.
  • Weigh-in: Advantages and disadvantages. What would you lose? What would you gain?
  • Locality: Are essentials nearby? Schools, distance to your workplace, Medical amenities etc
  • The house itself: Is it Vaastu complaint?

Make sure you have checked all the above aspects before taking a decision. Also try looking for a home by searching and getting in touch with the owner directly rather than a broker as it would save time. At the same time you would feel much more confident as you have verified all the elements yourself.

How to prepare for interviews

Ok... you have an interview to attend and you are nervous as to what would be the structure and questions. You are anticipating certain things that may come during the interview and preparing for the same.

But folks. In my experience I have seen if you do not prepare and attend an interview chances are high that you would come out with flying colors.

Here are some basic tips before attending an interview.

1. Wake up normally: Do not sacrifice your sleep. Relax well before you leave home. This would give you ample energy and freshness in your eyes.

2. Interview preparation: Always finish your interview preparations a day before the interview is scheduled. Never do a last minute hurry as this would kill your mental structure for the session. Know your CV well as approximately 50 to 60 percent of the questions would be based out of your own CV.

3. Time and Punctuality: Be on time at the venue as delay would create a mushy impression upfront to the interviewer.

4. Calm and cool: Have a water bottle with you always and never panic during the wait time and while giving the interview as this lead the mind go chaotic and scrambled answers would be the output from you. Hence when a question is thrown to you always understand the question and if required ask the interviewer to re-phrase the question until your understanding becomes clear.

5. Sign off: This is very important the last phase of any interview is mostly concluded by the interviewer asking "if you have any questions". Normally candidated would hesitate to ask but I would recommend to put across even the least important logical question that you may have to the interviewer. As this would give more insight about your thought process to the interviewer. At the same time creates positive image for yourself.
