PLEASE WATCH THIS.
Yes, I am actually screaming. This is extremely important. All of you should stop doing whatever you are doing and actually watch this.
This is more important than gun fatalities or movie censorship or homophobia or whatever it is that you are outraging about today. (It really isn't, actually. But money makes the world go round. And this is about your money. All your money. All of your life's money. So please please do watch this.)
A couple of things, if you are watching from India like me. I am going to repeat things that I've told people over and over again. If you have ever purchased a life insurance policy that is not a term life insurance policy, you have been had. Your insurance agent is laughing all the way to the bank every time you pay your premium, but you will not be amused when you see what the insurance company pays you at the end of your policy's tenure. If you have ever invested in a retirement or children's education plan that isn't one of the following - bank fixed deposit, PPF account, EPF, government bond, NSC, KVP - then you have been had. Please take all of your money out of your so called savings plan immediately. Do not worry about the fees that the stupid investment/insurance company charges you for leaving. Leave. Put all your money in one of the abovementioned debt instruments. Or in property. Or gold (I hate myself for saying this). Or just put it in an index linked mutual fund (preferably an ELSS fund, so you can't get your grubby hands on your money when you feel like splurging it away on a vacation (I am now properly upset with myself)).
Please watch this video. In its entirety. And thank me when you are old and frail but not poor and hungry.
