A scientist kept a frog in a pot with a cold water and set fire below the pot. Frog\u2019s skin has an inherent capability to adjust the temperature with the surrounding so as to survive in wide range of temperatures. As the water became lukewarm, frog actually started enjoying it, then it became warm and it felt that this is the best place to be in as it is making it comfortable and had a sense of security also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the things started changing, water started becoming hot, but as the frog believed that this place is secure and comfortable, it reassured itself that its temporary and adjusted his skin to the new temperature. As the temperature started rising further, making adjustments then became a part of habit till his limits of survival. But alas, finally, the water started boiling and poor Frog had lost all of its energy in adjusting its skin temperature and now it couldn\u2019t even move and died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The frog did have an opportunity. It was an open pot. Before it became Intolerable, it could have jumped out of the pot. But Frog went into COMFORT ZONE and continued making adjustments. For each adjustment, it spent precious life energy and finally it died as it wasn\u2019t left with sufficient energy to jump out of the boiling water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends, our life is just like this pot and remember nobody is\ngoing to PROMPT you to jump out of the pot or tell you which is the RIGHT time.\nYou will continue to make adjustments with life and it then becomes a habit, a\ndangerous habit of tolerating the things life throws at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why am I associating this topic in Finance? Let me elaborate. Whether you desire to get EARLY FINANCIAL FREEDOM or not, at 58\/60, you will anyway be done with your monthly paychecks. Till then, you must do something different than what you have been doing so far with your finances, so that your investments should take care of you in the later phase of your life. You just can\u2019t rely on your children to take care of you. In today\u2019s fast life, they have their own life and struggle to live. They\u2019ll be even more busy than what we are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may keep procrastinating as finance is a boring topic to\nmany or giving false justifications that everything is all right, but think of\nthe day when your paycheck stops, how would you cope up with that for further\n20-30 years. In most probability, your so called PF, gratuity, assets will last\nup to 5-10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing is that are you currently in the right place? Give\nit a serious thought. Are you living a dream life now? After talking to so many\nof my friends, the answer is probably negative. This is because you also have\ngone into warm COMFORT ZONE that will soon become hot & boiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, you need to make 2 changes in your life as soon as possible.\nGet in touch with Arthswatantrya to understand how to manage your finances to\nget rid of \/ minimize the dependency on salary for your monthly family expenses\nand other financial commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look out for turning \u2018what you like\u2019 into your money earning\nengine. Of course, it\u2019s not as easy as it sounds and it will also take some\ntime to actually realize the same, but if you don\u2019t even start now on these\nsteps, the path ahead will only become steeper and steeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start your journey by downloading the financial freedom templates from \u2018What is AS-44?\u2019 page. Many of you know that after earning my financial freedom at an age of 44, I\u2019m now trying to help my near and dear ones to set them free as well. For that purpose, I also conduct 3 hours session on financial freedom which is in easy fomat to understand complex financial jargon. I currently do not charge anything for this as I feel its a social responsibility and it is based on my availability. So, gather minimum 8-10 of your friends, decide a place and call me at a time convenient to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
