Feng Shui For A Wealthy Life


wealthymatters.comFollowing is an article from today’s Mumbai Mirror by Meenakshi Agarwal,a Feng Shui consultant:

More and more home owners are now opting for the ancient Chinese science of  Feng Shui to plan out their homes. This is because even a few minor changes that Feng Shui suggests bring about a remarkable positive change in one’s life.

A family residing in a posh locality of south Mumbai too have experienced this miraculous change in their lives, merely by following a few principles of Feng Shui. The head of the family sought Feng Shui solutions for a gamut of problems. He recounted that the family had simply stopped growing in  wealth or making any  progress career-wise. He had a marriageable daughter, another in college and a school going son. He even mentioned that in the present scenario, it would have been impossible for him to carry out any major changes as per Vaastu Shastra or Feng Shui. So, he asked for solutions that could be easily implemented. This is where the beauty of Feng Shui lies. The idea is not to disturb the basic spirit of the house by suggesting breaking of walls, etc., but to bring about drastic changes in your life with the slightest change in your environment.

Just How Well Off Are You?


wealthymatters.comDo you know if you are a HNI? Or if your income makes you rich in India?

Envy and jealousy are pretty useless but there’s nothing like goal setting to get where you want to be wealth wise. It helps to know just where you stand.

According to the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER), you are rich if your family’s  annual household income exceeds  Rs 17 lakh.There are 3 million rich households in India comprising some 16 million individuals.So 1.38% of Indians are rich in income terms.

However income doesn’t equal wealth just as being rich doesn’t mean being wealthy.For more on this distinction please refer to this older post here:  https://wealthymatters.com/2011/01/26/the-definition-of-income-and-wealth/ . Read more of this post

The House of Rothschild


wealthymatters.comHere is a video “Money’s Prophets” based on Prof.Niall Fergusson’s work to balance out all the sinister acts attributed to the Rothschilds in ‘The Money Masters’.Do watch it.It will show an ambitious family rise from relative obscurity to the pinnacle of finance.It will show how they deliberately cultivated their social superiors till they could buy they way into the aristocracy.They might have been upstarts early on but soon they became the very establishment they worked so hard to enter.Undoubtedly they enjoyed the privileges that came from wealth and the proximity to power but it’s hard to see them as evil incarnate.Whatever motives others might choose to impute to them ,they probably saw their own actions as purely business.In fact if we consider the fact that they chose to diversify internationally as a protection against losses due to Anti-Semitic persecution it’s hard not to feel sympathy for them.Do watch this documentary and draw your own conclusions.
