How important is money to you? Money is important to live a decent life, but it isn’t over family and relationships. Are you an impulsive buyer? It depends on my mood.

What has been your most expensive purchase? My most expensive purchase so far is my car. Do you feel financially secure? Yes, absolutely. I have been earning whatever more or less since the age of 16 and have been financially independent from then. Who handles your expenses? My parents handle my expenses. What was your first salary? When I was 16 years old, I earned myself Rs. 3000. How much money do you carry every day? I carry Rs. 1000 along with my debit card every day. Your advice to new investors? I would like to give a general advice that savings are very important. Even if one earns Rs. 100 a day I feel Rs. 20 should be saved. That is a kind of investment which eventually converts into savings.
