This ad from Exide Life got me thinking about Jugaad.

When you’re just starting out with next to nothing in hand, there is nothing like jugaad to take you ahead in the money game. With a bit of jugaad you can stretch the money you have to do more,save money to put together capital and use whatever resources you have at hand or lay hands on to get started on doing what you wish to be doing to start making money. Its sort of like Jugaadulal wearing his helmet to cut onions comfortably. Its pretty sensible, if soaking onions in water before cutting them doesn’t work. Read more of this post


The world economy is far from the pink of health,but I don’t think that the end of the world ,as we know it, is upon us.However I do believe in having a wealth pyramid in place.If your are coming in late,you can read more about it in an older post here:
No great fortune was built in a day.Slaving away, saving and putting money away might make you a nice nest egg after a while and over a few lifetimes a family might even get to be pretty well off.But when it comes to a fortune of any considerable size, in addition to sustained hard work and probably talent there is some effect of fortuitous circumstances . Often fortunes are made in just one business or one through one right call on some speculation.However there are too many ways to lose a fortune either through greed, overconfidence, a failure to admit a lack of understanding,a change in circumstances etc.So no matter the size of one’s wealth or the precise nature of its origin it is important to have a wealth pyramid in place.The general idea is to ensure the safety of the largest amount of one’s wealth.
