Sometime back a well meaning friend of mine suggested me a scheme(!!), where one of his acquaintance can give returns of 36% per year.
Me – Thanks, but am not interested.
Friend – But listen, so many people i know have already benefited from this.
Me – That’s good for them. But am not interested.
Friend – I thought you were very financially savvy. But then, why are you not interested in such high returns ?
Me – Such high returns from private parties actually scare me. I chuckled and said under my breath, also i read each post of subramnoney 🙂
Thanks Subra for such posts. It has actually sanitized my financial life to an great extent.

Even though am expert in my field and familiar with old wine in new bottle stuff, I still hear what others has to say to pick up what is good and bad. Concluding every thing is trash is like untolerable arrogance to me. I think no harm in lending our ear to new incumbents and it would give great feeling for them. After all, once up on a time, we were too started as beginners.
