Financial Planning Infographics

Rubik’s cube (puzzle cube/magic cube) has an excellent resemblance to our lives – in particular our financial lives.  It is clear that in order to solve a Rubik’s cube puzzle you need to acquire a certain skill set. The irony is that although each puzzle has one solution only, to set it straight you should have a thorough knowledge of other aspects too. In life, to achieve your goals, you need to know about both personal finance concepts and financial planning too. This Financial Planning Infographics talks about:

  • Parts of your Financial Puzzle
  • What you wish & reality
  • Problems people face at different stages of life
  • Misconceptions about financial planning
  • How financial planning can help

Note: This week world celebrated 40th Anniversary of Rubik’s Cube – Erno Rubik (Hungarian architect) invented this in 1974. “If you are curious, you’ll find the puzzles around you,” Erno Rubik, now 69, has said. “If you are determined, you will solve them.” I was so impressed with this guy & the puzzle that Rubik’s cube actually become base of my “Financial Life Planning” book that was published by CNBC. (I am republishing this post after 1 year) In the end of this post I have shared first page of my book 🙂

  2. Hi Hemant,
    Good article. With financial planning one feels secure about meeting your life goals and confident about facing any financial risks in life. Its a new way of living life and I hope middle class Indians discover it as soon as possible.

    • Hi Anurag,
      I think people have already started showing interest in financial planning… I believe it will gain pace with new regulation that is coming in.

      • Hi Hemant

        Thanks a lot for all your posts…. they are really very informative.
        Just wanted to check which “new regulation” are you referring to in the response above

    • Hi Sandip,
      As you are reading this – you have already started.
      Best planner is a myth… Is there any best doctor.. I don’t ask my doctor if he’s the “best” at anything. I ask if he can cure me. If I recover, then the doctor was well suited to my needs. I think same thing applies with financial planning.

  22. Dear Hemant, One Term Insurance Question. I have already 30 lac term insurance in Aviva ilife. Now i want to take additional 20 lac term plan from HDFC life Click 2 protect. please give me a suggestion. i want to take a separate personal accident policy also…

  23. This is an awesome effort. I think instead of reading many articles on financial planning one can easily follow these images and understand every aspect of personal finance planning. Good work….

  24. I can so related to the info-graphic, I always thought investment was like a formula that you need to get right to reap benefits in your later life. It was explained very nicely I have shared the link on twitter as well 🙂

  25. I have been following you from the past 3 years. I thin i have made a lot of progress on the financial literacy though still a long way to go on the implementation part.
    Some thing that i did in the last 3 years:
    Took Term plan
    opened PPF account
    This years plan:
    Increase term plan (daughter turned 1 year old)
    Open Sukanya samruddhi account
    open NPS
    Take group health insurance.(have company’s insurance until now)
    Start SIP to MF(until now am holding stocks from 2 years mostly juggling).

    The most important thing i am realizing (yet to realize fully) now is goals in life is as important as plan and Action.

  26. What a nice presentation. Seems like the book is having more awesome content for a beginner. Good work guys. 🙂
