At the outset let me assure you this is a child safe article.So please don’t navigate away on that account.I was inspired to writ it after reading about The Beijing Moral Education Center for Women here : http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/15/us-china-billionaires-idUSTRE76E0QP20110715

I suppose that advancing oneself by marrying well is a time honoured way to make one’s fortune, no matter how politically incorrect it might be today.In a bygone era girls’ schools offered home science or home economics courses.There were Womens’ Academys and Finishing Schools and at the pinnacle the Swiss Finishing schools like the one here :http://www.ivpworld.com/EN.html .Mostly the idea was to equip young girls with the skills to attract well- to- do partners and to skillfully manage their husbands’ households.

Julius Baer Lifestyle Index

May 29, 2012 8 Comments

The government may publish inflation figures fortnightly,but these are for industrial workers,agricultural workers etc.Inflation obviously varies depending on a persons lifestyle and consumption habits.Have you ever wondered whether there is an increase in the cost of living a luxurious lifestyle?If so by how much?

Now there is a way to answer all these questions.The Swiss Private bank Julius Baer has constructed a Lifestyle Index to capture the rise in price of luxurious living in Asia.

The Julius Baer Lifestyle Index is based on a basket of 20 luxury goods and services that represent discretionary purchases of HNWI in the four major Asian cities: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Mumbai. Properties are accorded the highest weight of 30% and cars the next highest weight at 10%.The list does not purport to represent the comprehensive spending patterns of HNWI in the region,but rather an indication of how various items they spend on have risen by. While properties and cars have a combined 40% weight, Julius Baer has given an equal weight for the other 18 items in the index to sum to 60%. Read more of this post
