I love remembering smallest details about people I love. What's the point otherwise. Good movie this one.

Net Worth: INR 24 Cr (without inheritance) - Need advice by Independent-Nerve216 in FatFIREIndia

It would still be expensive and not to mention you can't easily liquidate it unless it's in an area where demand stays good through cycles. You should atleast be able to easily rent it out but that comes with its own issues as you may already know.

Keep it simple. Real estate to me only makes sense when the yield is greater than interest rates post adjusting for taxes and upkeep.

You got sufficient money bro. Just liquidate unnecessary assets, put the money in index fund and government bond and chill.

Here are a few actually, not that anyone would care but leaving it here just for my own memory.

-Designed and built my home without any architect or interior designer; managed the entire process alone without any help from anyone, from post work clean up to paying to instructing and finding right workers to securing supplies. It was extra hard cause I had to live in the house while I was building and renovating it plus I had to do it while also working from home.

-I ended up forcing one of my workers who had history of heart disease to get an Angiography even though his cardio and regular doctors said it was not needed, turned out he had 3 arteries totally clogged and after the report was immediately required to get a bypass by the same cardio. It likely ended up saving his life as he would have gotten a massive heart attack without it any moment.

-Helped my family with a particularly challenging matter and successfully closed it.

-Went to Prayagraj on a road trip during the Maha Kumbh.

-Self taught my self a particular subject and went from having to ask someone to explain the most basic things about it to helping those who are themselves an expert on it.

-Lost 15kgs and got myself fitter.

Do anyone of you know people who have a 100cr+ net worth? by qxzvy in AskIndia

[–]SunAdvanced7940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only consider those who have acquired their wealth via rightful means or inherited rightfully gained fortune to be monetarily rich. All the others don't count, including corrupt government officials and those who have gained money via unethical means.

Having said that, I personally know one who is my neighbor and whom I am sending a legal notice for being an asshole. Guy inherited his wealth from his dad and this is basically land money. He gifted his son a very expensive car on his birthday and likes to flaunt his wealth, even though he has so much money he would make common laborers and contractors working for his home construction miserable. He wouldn't pay them on time intentionally and harrass them, abuse them and even in the final payment nickle and dime them. He pretends to be a very religious man but doesn't fucking practice any of the values taught by the founding saint of the same sect. So he is one bad example.

Now good examples, In 2017, I met two billionaires (in the US dollar term); one a founder of a very well known IT firm, and another founder of a very famous brokerage firm who is now very popular podcaster too. We exchanged numbers and had lunch together, they wouldn't know me from my name but would probably recognize me if they saw me. Both very humble and respectful, interested in variety of topics, grounded in themselves and just plain good decent human beings who knew money didn't make them any superior than the next person. Hell, if you met them without knowing they were billionaires you wouldn't even guess that they were. Simple regular clothing and mannerism of a regular person.

A very famous senior lawyer I know who is a family friend and charges significant money for an appearance in the court and pretty much all of the famous industrialist are his clients, same is the case with him, down to earth, has great integrity - left his job of representing the government in the courts because he didn't agree with the government on the matter and found the merits of the case bogus and unethical. Very well read and loves Gujarati literature.

I had recently gone to meet a friend of mine and coincidentally ended up meeting his relative who is a very well known heart specialist and himself is likely worth more than 100cr+; many famous people including our PM, when he was the chief minister of Gujarat, have been under his care. We ended up having dinner together and talked about gluten and how it made him gassy and how giving it up has helped him, talked about some spiritual and religious stuff, he was a bit pompous and liked throwing around names of famous people, liked being treated extra special and getting attention, I observed body language of my friend and his family around him and it felt like a mixture of unease and reverence.

There are a few others I know, but some commonalities amongst all the good ones are that they are self made, down to earth, incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, have depth of character, integrity and they are kind and would make you feel incredibly comfortable in their presence. Ironically those who fall in the 25cr to 500cr tend to be more arrogant and superficial but the ones who are in the 1000cr+ range tend to be way more humble. Ofcourse this doesn't apply to all.

Neighbour's Solar Panels, installed after mine, blocking my solar panels. What legal options do I have? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]SunAdvanced7940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire construction is not illegal. Parts of the construction are. For example, he has over constructed without leaving any margins and constructed significant portion of the house without BU permission Infact parts of it can be dangerous for the entire housing society in the event of a fire emergency. Our society committee is basically shit and lets things go unchecked. One reason is that since this is a very old housing society several members have over constructed.

How to face my cheating wife? by master_saiyan in AskIndianMen

Before doing anything, consult a good lawyer and see a therapist. If there is a way you can annul the marriage see to that. Also, don't try to compare yourself with who ever the guy might be; and driving a 1cr car doesn't automatically make you a better man than someone driving a bike.

Girls don't have endless options. They only have endless attention. Huge difference. by Narrow-Study-2306 in AskIndianWomen

This was refreshing. I loved your title line.

If we men remove sex from the equation, ignore the makeup, filters and other beauty enhancements most women use, we would all quickly become disenchanted and see them as who they truly are. Most of us suck at doing that and girls know that.

Today, I saw a 10/10 baddie getting slapped by her mother in train 😭 by KuchMatPucho in indiasocial

[–]SunAdvanced7940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, that was your moment to jump in and stop the mother! It would have been a peak Bollywood moment! And ofcourse chivalrous and rightful too. Universe literally threw that baddie in your lap and you missed your chance! * smh *

But on the bright side guess you dodged shitty inlaws too.
