I continue to believe, this decade is of Sovereign Individuals. (Screenshot article linked here)

Love the term Balaji uses - "Vote with your feet" & people are literally doing that.

🌎 Internet has allowed people to earn/live from anywhere. If they don't like a place (due to family safety, income opportunities, taxes etc.), they'll just pick up their family & leave.

When when I say 'people' - I generally mean Sovereign Individuals who has more than one (salary) source of income.

Just renewed my parent's HDFC Ergo health insurance for another 3 years. 🏥 💊 🧘‍♂️

During payment, it feels like a lot but it is absolutely necessary for long-term peace of mind.

Your first investment should be to get your family covered by a decent Health/Medical Insurance.

When Mukesh Ambani's net worth was ~$50 Billion, he spent $100 million on a wedding.

Your net worth is ₹50 lakh & you spent ₹10 lakh on wedding.

Ambani spent 0.2% of his net worth, while you spent 20% of your net worth.

Wealthy people not only can spend more but save more too.

Proof of Stake activated on Ξthereum. I am seeing all slots getting approved with PoS consensus.

⟠ Congrats to all developers. It will be an interesting experiment to look forward to.

Both PoW & PoS have their pros & cons - and I hope both win long term.

If we take into account all of these
Inflation
Road Tax
Income Tax
Property Tax
Professional Tax
Capital Gains Tax
Goods & Services Tax (GST)
Tax Deducted At Source (TDS)
Securities Transaction Tax (STT)

An above-average salaried Indian almost pays 50% of his salary/income to the Govt. I repeat, HALF of the income.

West is getting degenerate every day (Article Link here - The Sun). And Indian men & women proudly keep following western culture.

📉 Once a mother-son relationship loses value, the country loses its value too; leading to its ultimate demise.

Family → Street → Locality → Town/City → State → Country

🧘‍♂️ It is the duty of all men to protect their daughter, wife, mother, sister from this degeneracy & help everyone get closer to god by following his teachings.
