Smart Retirement Planning

Story of a Wasted Retirement Life I have many friends who invested their entire life's earnings into starting their own businesses and ended up facing significant challenges. One such example is my friend Abdul Khader, who lived with me in Jeddah for ten years. (To maintain the privacy of my friend, the name, place and photo given here are not real.) Abdul Khader moved to Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s when he was just 21 years old. When we met in Jeddah in 1996, he was 46. After 33 years of working abroad, he returned to India in 2003, having already arranged his daughter's marriage. His daughter lived in England with her husband, and his son, after completing nursing, secured a job at a government hospital in Riyadh. മലയാളത്തിൽ വായിക്കാം When his wife was left alone in a big house, Abdul Khader decided to return home. Along with a substantial amount from his company as retirement benefit, he also had a significant sum saved over the years. Not wanting to sit idle at home, he...

Strategy to Achieve Financial Stability

Some people question whether achieving financial stability is really necessary in this temporary earthly life. But there's only one answer: Yes. If you live alone with no spouse or children and have no dependents, you're free to live however you wish. But the moment you step into family life and others depend on you, you become responsible for ensuring financial stability. And that requires developing financial discipline. Here are some suggestions to achieve financial stability : മലയാളത്തിൽ വായിക്കാം 1. When Should You Start? Financial discipline isn’t something you can keep postponing saying “Tomorrow, tomorrow.”. It must begin with your first salary. Saving a fixed amount every month into a jar or fixed deposit won't alone help you achieve financial security. You must also think from Day One about how you’ll generate a steady income after 15, 20, or 25 years when you retire. 2. A Proper Budget Prepare a monthly budget that records how much to spend on various needs....

പീഡാനുഭവങ്ങളുടെ ഞായറാഴ്ച്ചകൾ

ആഴ്ച്ചാവസാനവും ഞായറാഴ്ചയും അടുക്കുന്തോറും മനസ്സിൽ ആധി വർദ്ധിക്കുകയാണ്. എന്തും സംഭവിക്കാം എന്ന മുൻവിധിയോടാണ് ഞായറാഴ്ച്ച 8:30 ന് പള്ളിയിലേക്ക് വലതുകാൽ വെച്ചു കയറുന്നത്. ഇന്ത്യയിലും വിദേശത്തും ജോലി ചെയ്യുമ്പോഴൊക്കെ വീക്കെൻഡ് അഥവാ ആഴ്ച്ചാവസാനം വലിയ ആവേശത്തോടെയായിരുന്നു കാത്തിരുന്നത്. ആഘോഷമാക്കുന്ന വീക്കെൻഡിൽ ഞായറാഴ്ച്ച പള്ളിയിൽ പോയിരുന്നത് മുൻപോട്ടുള്ള വഴിയിൽ വലിയ ഊർജ്ജം നൽകിയിരുന്നു. ആഴ്ചയുടെ അവസാനം പള്ളിയിൽ പോവുക എന്നുള്ളത് ബാംഗ്ലൂരിലും ഖത്തറിലും ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്ന സമയത്താണ് ആരംഭിച്ചത്. അതിനുമുമ്പ് എയർ ഫോഴ്സിലും സൗദി അറേബ്യയിലുമായി ചെലവഴിച്ച 32 വർഷക്കാലം പള്ളിയിൽ പോക്ക് പരിപാടിയിലേ ഇല്ലായിരുന്നു. ചുരുക്കത്തിൽ, കഴിഞ്ഞ 18 വർഷങ്ങളിലെ വീക്കെൻഡിൽ ഉൾപ്പെട്ടിരുന്ന അനേകം പരിപാടികളിൽ ഒന്നുമാത്രമായിരുന്നു പള്ളിയിൽപോക്ക്. അത് പരമാവധി ഒന്നര മണിക്കൂർ കൊണ്ട് തീരുമായിരുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് ഒരു ശല്യമായി ഒരിക്കലും കണ്ടിരുന്നില്ല. അടൂരിൽ എത്തിയതിനുശേഷവും (2015 ന് ശേഷം) ഞായറാഴ്ച്ച കുർബാനയ്ക്ക് ഒന്നര മണിക്കൂർ നീക്കി വെക്കുമായിരുന്നു. അരീക്കലച്ചനും നെടിയത്തച്ചനും പൂവണ്ണാലച്ചനും ഒക്കെ ഇവിടെ വികാരിമാരായിരുന്ന സ...
