Perspective: The world today




























The world of money has been through some bizarre times over the past few years. It all started in 2006, when the housing bubble in the US burst. This in turn led to the sub-prime credit crisis, which was of an unprecedented scale. Then followed the series of bailout programmes in countries across the globe and equilibrium returned, taking markets up again.

However, during the crisis, borrowers defaulted on their loans; banks started going bankrupt. Many corporate and retail investors, mainly global, who had invested in mortgage-backed securities, lost their money; they too went bankrupt. This cascaded into a full blown global crisis. Fortunately, countries like India got away with mere ripple effects.
But the ripple effects were enough to serve as sharp reminders of the times we live in. We were just loving our lifestyles, that of rising incomes, easy credit and high luxury. Then came the scare of jobless, rising prices and piling debts. But it didn’t have to be that way. With a little bit of smart planning and investing, you can cushion, if not ward off, any crisis.
The key is planning AND investing. Investing your money is not just parking some money in the bank every few months. A good investment system needs both, time to plan and money to invest. With that, let us now look into both these aspects, the importance of investing and investing with a plan.
