We all love Diwali, and why is that so? In India, Diwali is that time of the year when everyone lets themselves loose. Family times, Shopping, Food, Sweets, Adventure, Holidaying – you name it, all of it happens during Diwali. It is the auspicious time, it’s the time of prosperity, the time when you give back and enjoy endlessly with your family. You work hard all year, and this is one time, you go out and enjoy. Everyone enjoys.
So what is the significance it holds in our Financial Life? Does it hold any importance at all? Where do finances come into the picture when you are out to spend and enjoy without much bother?
Diwali symbolizes all the good times you can have. It reminds you how much life can have in store for you. The good times come in abundance during Diwali.
So how about making it a lifelong Diwali for you and your family? Why confine the fun only to the 5 days of Diwali? When people prosper, get a lottery etc. it is symbolically called as ‘apni toh Diwali ho gayi’. Won’t we like to make every day of life like the Diwali times for all of our loved ones?
