Coimbatore Family - motivation and responsibility

Coimbatore Family - motivation and responsibility:

Family is very important at any point of time. Wife and kids are the real fun.
They are the ones who keep us running daily with full enthusiasm.
They are the motivation.

When I see my daughter, who is just an infant (< 2 years old), I think of an education fund, a marriage fund, an exclusive savings for my lovely daughter. I feel there is a huge responsibility as a father to save for my daughter.
At the same time, I have a huge responsibility of savings for my retirement and my wife's. My wife is not working, so I need to save for her retirement too.

This keeps me going, in a way. I need to work hard, save, and build assets for my family and their future.
This becomes my primary motivation for running in the life.

These days it costs minimum (INR) Rs.25 lakhs for a good education. If you are thinking of education abroad, you need think much further financially. I don't really care about Marriage fund, but I do really care about education fund. This has to be planned much ahead.

In addition, I need to have atleast Rs.20,000 to Rs.40,000 per month as income in my retirement(considering the inflation rate), and also considering that I live in my own house.

I keep thinking I just need to work hard and harder in my current job and make sure I save for future.

First feed yourself, then your family, then your society and the world!

Hope you are in the same boat as me!

My Coimbatore Father and myself

I don't see any difference between what my father was doing and what I am doing?
My father was a labourer in a cotton mill in Coimbatore. His designation was overlooker (in tamil it is called maesthri). He had his colleagues and his own fun. He used to work for 8 hours.

He worked on machines to get the threads made from the cotton. There were further automation in the machines and he enjoyed his job.

I see the same thing with me too. I work on machines and I make something or atleast test somethings before it goes to the customer.

I have managers as my father did.

I think it is the course of a NORMAL life everyone goes through, unless we make a tremendous difference in our lives by finding something new or building something new! or becoming an industrialist etc.,

It is usually ideal to be 10 times different than your previous generation. But, I see myself to be the same person, as my father - except for little differences in my financial situation!!

I hope I will make some difference and give something new this world, than normal!!

Never take decisions based on temptations - Coimbatore Finance Wisdom

Never take decisions based on temptations.
Tempations always lead to bad decisions and you regret for it.

I made a recent financial decision based on temptation.
As always, it ended up in a bad decision.

A different me, came in front of me and kept on talking to me about doing the temptation. I heard to that and did execute the sales. I bought that thing, even though it was difficult for me to buy!

I went for it, even though it is not affordable for me, at this point of time.

I regret for it guys! Why did that temptation come to me?
I was a very happy individual doing my own stuff and satisfied with what I have.
Why do these temptations come? I would have to pay that off, for next one year to get rid of this problem.

I can clearly see that the purchase was unnecessary. I didn't know that at that time. Nobody told me! Every heard to what I said and nobody stopped me!

I went ahead and today a real me is coming and knocking me. This real me is the one I always live with. So, now the real me is coming and asking me lots of questions.

I was a rich guy in terms of financial satisfaction and now I am a poor guy for couple of months at least. I feel guilty of my actions and its consequences.

Why would my inner self come to me and tell me to live life and now tell me that you went too fast in life!? Why there is a contradictory thought floating around and confusing me!!

This clearly tells me who am I!?

Yes - I am a conservative, long-term saver and never would think of living life. Your brought up is like that! You can never become a spender! You will kill yourself, instead!!!

Moral is this: Never take decisions when you are tempted!!!!
