Hi Fishes, I have not showcased very sound financial discipline till date and have not invested much in MF, stocks, etc. I would like to start investing now to save for future but have no idea about where to begin from and how to assess the risk/potential returns and start. Any recommendations on baby steps to start with investing would help (books, courses, blogs, etc.). There is information overload on the internet so would really appreciate help for right direction. Thanks

@author, open account in zerodha, buy some stocks like tatapower, elecon, tata motors etc not more than 5k and see how it behaves based on global market. You ll get an idea.

And read the book "THE INTELLIGENCT INVESTOR- BY BENJAMIN GRAHAM" that teaches you what stock market is

You can buy nifty ETFs from stock market like nifty bees etc.......there are many stock broker available in the market go for discount broker as their fees are less as compared to the full time broker but if you want to invest in bonds, you can go for angel broking, my recommendation would be Angel or Upstox as there is no annual or joining fee when I open the account with both of them. Zerodha is good but there is a annual and joining fee there are some site which does the broker comparison like finology.in you can compare the broker your self choose as per your requirement.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

I see the current Indian hiring scene as not unreasonable inflation of salaries and astounding hikes rather as a correction; a deep upward correction.
This was long overdue. The starting salaries have remained more or less stagnant for over a decade.

India is no more the India of yore. India has had a very pertinent export for a longish period of time. Indian software engineers have long served at meagre rates in India.

Now is the time to establish some sort of equilibrium.

Your thoughts?
