How to become a crorepati by 2010!
|
The ritual of making resolutions is something most of us do indulge in. But, it's a different matter that most resolutions tend to be short-lived and rarely last for more than a few days. We have a recommendation for a resolution for you - start working towards becoming a crorepati.
 Although you are likely to be tempted to brush aside our recommendation or crack a sarcastic remark, we would like to assure you that we are very serious about the recommendation. Also to put your concerns to rest, we are not advocating any of the following,
- Buy a lottery ticket
- Place bets on the forthcoming cricket series (which, by the way, is illegal!)
- Participate in a television game show
- Wait for a well-heeled relative to kick the bucket!
Perhaps it's the halo surrounding the word crorepati which acts as a deterrent. A crore (10 million in monetary terms) is often perceived as the pinnacle of affluence. But for the smart investor, the crore is simply a starting point. Any financial planner worth his salt will vouch for the fact that setting objectives is the first step in the planning process. And becoming a crorepati can be that - just an objective. The table below will help substantiate the same.

When your target of becoming a crorepati is broken down into the investment tenure and the returns expected on investments, the objective does lose some if its impregnability. As can be seen from the table above, if you have a 15-year time frame and can earn a return of 17% p.a., you need to invest Rs. 13,806 every month. What you should do is arrive at a tenure-return combination that is feasible for you.
