Wealth With Aakarsh

Money and finances aren't just numbers; they're the lifeblood of your family's journey. The way you handle these discussions can determine the strength of your financial portfolio and the unity within your family. In this blog, let me share some deeply personal experiences and examples that emphasise the transformative impact of openly discussing money matters with your loved ones. 1. Financial Transparency: The Glue that Binds Families Picture a quiet evening when my family gathers around the dinner table. We're openly discussing our dreams and aspirations, from saving for that dream house to planning for retirement or orchestrating a wedding for a loved one. These heartfelt conversations provide invaluable insights and lead to a more realistic understanding of our financial situation. It's about ensuring our plans are grounded in reality, not wishful thinking. I consider myself fortunate that my parents involved me in these discussions from a young age. This early...

In the world of financial advisory, there's a delicate balance between numbers and emotions, trust and transactions. Recently, I had a truly remarkable experience that reaffirmed my unwavering passion for this field. It's a story that showcases how dedication, trust, and genuine love for what I do can shape fruitful client relationships and foster success. At the core of my journey as a financial advisor is an unbridled passion for helping individuals secure their financial future. It's not just a job; it's a calling. Whether it's a rainy Friday evening or a bright Sunday morning, my eagerness to empower clients with financial strength knows no bounds.

For me, nurturing these relationships goes beyond mere transactions; it's about instilling trust, one meeting at a time. On a particularly rainy Fr...

In August 2018, I nervously stepped into my father's office, not just as a visitor, but as an integral part of the family business. It was a momentous occasion that filled me with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Although I had frequented the office as a kid and a college student, the weight of responsibility now rested on my shoulders. The possibility of choosing another path loomed, but my family's unwavering support and belief in me made me determined to embark on this journey of self-discovery in the world of finance. Learning the Ropes: As I delved into the business, I found myself grappling with the less glamorous aspects of the work—understanding the intricacies of operations, dealing with paperwork, and familiarising myself with every aspect that a 21-year-old might shy away from. At first, I questioned the necessity of these tasks, but as time passed, I realised the profound wisdom behind my father's advice—to know every aspect of the job, even if I didn't ...

"More Money has been lost trying to anticipate and protect from corrections than actually in them." - Peter Lynch These words hold true for investors of all levels. Whether you're a first-time investor or have some experience in the market, the question of timing always arises. In this beginner's guide, we'll tackle the common dilemma of "is it a good time to invest?" and explore why trying to time the market can be a futile exercise. Firstly, accurately predicting short-term market fluctuations is nearly impossible. The market is influenced by a multitude of factors, such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, and investor sentiment, making it highly unpredictable. Even the most seasoned professionals struggle to consistently time the market correctly. Secondly, attempting to time the market requires making two correct decisions: when to sell and when to buy back in. This double challenge significantly increases the complexity and risk of achievi...

"The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing." — Phillip Fisher No matter the age, gender, beliefs, most of us spend a considerable amount of time on various social media platforms. And most of us are generally influenced by what we see there. It was still okay when we were told to believe that taking 10 holidays a year was supposed to be normal. Seeing everyone was so successful it felt like I was the only one lagging. It felt as if all of humanity was driving luxury cars, sipping martinis and soaking in “Vitamin Sea”.  Research suggests that millennials were prone to buying more things and spending more on products they saw on social media of other users, because of an effect called FOMO, Fear Of Missing Out. The feeling that I will be an outcast if i don't do the same thing is what defines FOMO. Even then, I was willing to forego everything that could potentially make social media toxic. I believed that as an i...
