By the way, \u0905\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0938\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0924\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092f is much more comprehensive than mere financial freedom, it encompasses Health &amp; Happiness too, will write another article sometime later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">So,\nwhat\u2019s the scorecard? This is how I fared last 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My lifestyle<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 is elevated to the next level. Unlike many who expect that after &#8220;retirement&#8221;, you\u2019ll need to cut down on your lifestyle expenses, I\u2019m celebrating more than before because of the availability of time. I have also added quite a few healthy ingredients to my daily living to stay fit, healthy &amp; happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Family, Friends, and relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As far\nas my family life is concerned, it\u2019s enriching as I\u2019m able to reach out to my\nrelatives and friends like never before. My traveling has increased and so have\nthe joy and happiness!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/as-44.byethost33.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/foreign-1024x584.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tours &amp; Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As per the financial goals mapped in my planning, in the first year of freedom, we availed of 15 days tour in Dubai and 7 days leisure water sports tour in Kokan, Maharashtra. Within the last 4 years, I have traveled to so many places inside and outside of Maharashtra, including a foreign trip to Switzerland in the achievement of MDRT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning &amp; Growth<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Your experience seldom counts if not backed by qualified certification. In the first few months, I went on a spree to get myself certified in financial acumen to endorse my wide experience in various personal financial instruments. Although my experience is sufficient,<strong> I felt this endorsement was necessary for me to guide my friends<\/strong> who would like to follow my steps. So, this is what I\u2019ve achieved so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In the\nfirst year of my Financial Freedom, I passed the following exams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td>\n  <strong>Exam Name<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Date<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>%age<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td><strong>Exam Body<\/strong>   <\/td><td><strong>Governing Body<\/strong>   <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Investment Advisor \u2013 Level 1 \u2013 XA   <\/td><td>\n  7\n  March 18\n  <\/td><td>\n  84.75%\n  <\/td><td>\n  NISM\n  <\/td><td>\n  SEBI\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Investment Advisor \u2013 Level 2 (Highest) \u2013 XB   <\/td><td>\n  22\n  March 18\n  <\/td><td>\n  77%\n  <\/td><td>\n  NISM\n  <\/td><td>\n  SEBI\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Life Advisor \u2013 IC38   <\/td><td>\n  June\n  18\n  <\/td><td>\n  72%\n  <\/td><td>\n  III\n  <\/td><td>\n  IRDA\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MF   Distributor \u2013 VA   <\/td><td>\n  November\n  18\n  <\/td><td>\n  81%\n  <\/td><td>\n  NISM\n  <\/td><td>\n  SEBI\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I became&nbsp;<strong>MDRT 201<\/strong>9&nbsp;which is the insurance industry recognition for higher achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/as-44.byethost33.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I also\nbecame an&nbsp;<strong>Author<\/strong>&nbsp;in the\nSEBI-NISM joint conference named CLSM (Changing Landscape of Securities Market)\nin&nbsp;<strong>February 2020<\/strong>&nbsp;and presented\nmy paper on &#8220;Financial Freedom &#8211; a need and not a dream&#8221;, under the\ncategory of Personal Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing\nmy commitment towards continuous learning, I added a few more credentials as\nfollows (apart from numerous certificate courses on various topics related to\nfinance)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td>\n  <strong>Exam Name<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Date<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td><strong>%age<\/strong>   <\/td><td><strong>Exam Body<\/strong>   <\/td><td><strong>Governing Body<\/strong>   <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MF   Distributor \u2013 VA &#8211; CPE   <\/td><td>\n  July\n  21\n  <\/td><td>\n  Pass\n  <\/td><td>\n  NISM\n  <\/td><td>\n  SEBI\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CERTIFIED FINANCIAL GOAL PLANNER (CFGP)<\/strong>   <\/td><td>\n  <strong>September 22<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Pass<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>PGP Academy<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>NSE Academy<\/strong>\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Financial Status<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This one is for many of my well-wishers, who are still unable to digest my decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As I\nsaid my lifestyle cost is elevated because of the travel that I\u2019m doing and\ncelebrations that I\u2019m participating in with different groups of friends. I do\nmy financial health check-up every 3 months and I found that I\u2019m still at least\n5% in excess in my kitty to be spent from the monthly expense basket!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Remember friends, this is despite the stock market Corona blowout during March 2020 where many well-to-do people got affected. For getting the conviction that I have, one must study how the stock market works and why investing in mutual funds turns out to be the safer investment over longer periods. If you are a regular reader of my articles, you would get the essence of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Net Worth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I am opening my cards here! In Financial Terms &#8211;  My net worth has doubled as compared to 5 years ago. It is interesting to know that this is despite of negligible active income and after consumption of 5 years of elevated lifestyle expenses. This is the true essence of \u0905\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0938\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0924\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/as-44.byethost33.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Above chart will depict the relative performance of my portfolio and Net worth. Those who really want to study how it really works and do DIY investments, this chart actually answers a lot of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Passion and Happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, Now I&#8217;ve discovered few of my passion areas and re-connected with my hobbies in natural farming, composting, Healthy &amp; Natural living, electronics, and so on. I\u2019m also helping my friends to achieve financial freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I am occupied, but with the things that I love to do, not with someone dictates me to. My latest interest I got reconnected was singing (discreetly that is ;)), credit goes to one of my friend. Also, another important activity that I am involved  actively now is about Health &#8211; Natural Living and helping people reverse their ailments ranging from BP, Sugar to Cancer. It gives me immense satisfaction when I see people becoming free of diseases without doctors, costly tests, and medicines!! A topic close to my heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Friends, the purpose of this note is not to make you jealous but to create a dream in your mind that you all deserve to live this kind of dream life, full of Health, Wealth, and Happiness. All you need is discipline, commitment, and action. I\u2019m always there to help n support you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Have you started yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kiran Bhave<br>Financial Freedom Director, AS-44.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I resigned from my reputed job at LTI, I was quite sure about my plan.
