Money MadAbout
Editor’ s Note
If there’ s one common thread, that runs through each and every one of us connecting us and binding us to each other is this – we are all mad about money in our respective lives! Be it a multimillionaire businessman or the local neighborhood vegetable vendor, our madness about money is a crucial part of our existence – the madness to have it, the madness to attain it, the madness to save it and protect it and of course, the madness to have excess of it and be rich!
To put this in the current perspective, 8th November 2016 might have come that morning like any other day but it definitely left with a bang! Almost two months now, towards a new and constantly changing cashless economy, the only statement that can perhaps hold true about each and every citizen of India is everyone is currently Mad About Money, specifically cash! So right from the government down to the average young student, everyone is mad about one single thing right now – and that’ s money! In this issue too we deal with money itself as a core asset, what it means and stands for. More importantly, it will be about each and every facet that drives us crazy … how to earn it easily, how to have it more, how to save it better, how to invest it to grow, but more importantly, and here lies the difference, how to change our mindsets so that all this happens by default and much easily!
Our lead story this edition is quite an interesting read where we talk about looking rich vs being rich. Since we all want to become rich, have we ever questioned ourselves whether we want to look rich because we want people to think we are rich, or whether we want to be rich so that we can look rich. Which do we want more? Which is more important to us? Which is more important to people who are already rich and successful? The Tata’ s and the Zuckerbergs of the world? What do they do? How do they spend their time? In being rich or looking rich? More importantly, does one necessarily define the existence of the other? Interesting elements to assess from a mindset perspective isn’ t it? Our lead story in our inaugural edition is all about this and much more.
To conclude, Mad About Money is here to talk about everything to do with money that draws your attention and passion, but in a different way, with a slightly different touch … so that unique magic wand that just makes all this slightly more attainable in practical terms.
So keep reading and keep getting rich!
