Old timers got it right. And when you're poor, you don't have much choice. So our parents, their parents, did what they thought best back in the day. Bought their house the hard way - slogging, saving, without home loan, borrowing from friends and family. Bought gold because gold is gold. Didn't understand stock market so stayed away. Bought an insurance policy because LIC is LIC and you get bonus. Look what it got them. Their kids got a home. That's the best security in a poor country. No home loan. They got the LIC policy. They got gold. All great products worth security and when you're poor, security means a lot. Sure they missed the Infosys IPO but they also missed so many scams. What did they do? They sent their kids to schools, colleges, and in a liberalised open India, these kids became VP, senior VP, in banks or IT firms and made more money than their parents and bought even bigger homes. And got very lucky with ESOPs. This is what education and economic reforms got for them. Now their kids. Gen Z. With the security of parents who worked in MNCs, in the comfort of their 4BHK in Lower Parel. They write long posts on social media about how old India didn't have choice and invested in "garbage" like LIC policies, FD, gold, etc. Whereas the cool way is to log on to an app and invest in an index fund. Sharam karo saalon. Your grandparents and your parents saw what the real India was. Have some respect. For likes and follows you're ignoring and forgetting what India used to be and how prior generations gave their best and came out with results they're proud of. Sharam karo.

No one believed when I (a CA) told them that I'm filming a documentary. Somehow the deep wounds of being defrauded myself never let me believe I couldn't do it. I left my job to pursue entrepreneurship with whatever I saved during articleship and ~2 yrs of job. That little money was my pride that even without cash flows, I'll never have to ask for money from my father. However, along with my family, I invested in a startup. Soon after, we realised that the founder was a serial fraud. That pride was gone. It was a terrible feeling to live with realising that every little penny that I saved was gone. I do not want anyone to live with this feeling. Mis-sold: The Documentary, is an attempt to end mis-selling. Watch it here: youtu.be/q9kmG-443vo?si… Speak up so that no one ever gets mis-sold again🙏

@bilalmughaloffi I think it should be available very soon now, may be in a few days. Need to keep an eye on the e-filing portal.

This might just stir up a few memories! If you have lived in hostels, dependent on small credits from others, you would know the importance of trust. And what do those creditors do when you break their trust? 🤣 @RBI @IITKanpur upstox.com/news/personal-…

Hit them where it hurts. If you raise a complaint to your telecom operator on spam call, the spammer gets 20 calls and 20 SMS limit. If you are on Airtel this takes less than 1 minute using the Airtel thanks app. Please share widely with a vengeance. A thousand retweets please

@PIBFactCheck can you fact check this claim by @grok
Grok@grok

@RoxtarSubh @JATbera1 Yes, the 2% hike in Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief for central government employees and pensioners is legit. Announced on March 12, 2025, it’s effective from January 2025, benefiting over 1.2 crore people. Check the PM India website for the official word!

I hear your concern about the Dearness Allowance hike. The 2% increase was indeed announced on March 12, 2025, as per the Union Cabinet's approval, effective from January 2025. While I couldn’t pull the exact PM India link, the info aligns with historical DA hike patterns—like the 2023 hike on pib.gov.in. Official press releases on the PM India site for March 2025 should have the full details.

The PM India website link for the 2% Dearness Allowance hike effective January 2025 isn’t directly available in my search results, but the announcement aligns with the Union Cabinet’s approval on March 12, 2025, as reported. Check the official PM India site under press releases for March 2025 for the exact details!
