The Mystery of Money !
I am going to share my personal finanical ventures !
There is always something to learn from every persons finanical venture . Money is such a major aspect of our life ! It is so powerful that it is seen by me as a mystery ! Just take money out of our Human lifes and we will have a totally different civilisation ! The very fabric of Human living is standing on this plateform ! From the cradle to the grave this is such a major factor around which our whole life is wrapped in !
We all are aware and know that we are not going to be around for ever . Yet, we are living and struggling with this material stuff almost all our lives . It is the closest to fresh air and water !
As for me , I never saw or took money to be importent in my life for a long time ! Childhood was always fun time . Money was never a major issue . As long as the basics were met , I was happy . We were not born with any silver or gold spoons . Life was simple and yet satisfying . Childhood passed so very quietly . In my college years it was not very different too . Yes, I did look forward to my father sending me money for my needs . Sometimes it was actually funny because I was enjoying my days just going for walks or going to the gym to do some excerises or just sitting and enjoying the company of my classmates . When the money came , it was celebration time ! Suddenly , I will ask myself , what shall I do with the money !
Out of college . Now I was a young doctor who had to support my younger siblings and mother . My father had passed away when I was in my final year of medical college .
Somehow, it was not seen as a real issue ! I started my first year as an intern and was earning Rupee 300 !
In todays world you cannot understand or even imagine what it s value was ! It;s unbelievable !
As for me , I was the happiest guy on the planet ! I was earning my own money ! The money mystery begins! The following year I started earning money in Malaysia . As a houseman , I started with Ringgit 600. I can tell you that it was just enough to feed myself at most ! Nothing else . I actually managed to get a small vintage car from my grandmother . Grandfather had passed away and the car was just rotting away . You have no idea what a joy it was to have that vintage car ! I was the only houseman in my hospital to have a car ! The money mystery gets exciting !
Both my younger siblings were studying in medical colleges in India . I also had sent my mother to be with them . I started sending them half of my pay ! Yes, that is Ringgit 300 ! My 30 days were supported by Ringgit 290 as I had to contribute Ringgit 10 to some fund ! You see I can remember the smallest of details even after 37 years !
Even then , I never ever felt money was really a major issue ! Yes, I was very careful with my expenses . I was just managing to eat and even drive a small vintage car !
Thats enough for now . Will continue my saga tomorrow .
Till we meet again , thank you for reading my story .
