Messy Week #2
How do these influencers keep on posting daily vlogs?
They surely must live in some kind of magical world where something interesting happens every single day.
The most interesting thing that happened in my life in the previous week was that a gymbro told me that I was in shape.
For a girl that would have been like any other day, but for a guy like me it was special because men really don’t get many compliments.
The week may not be that interesting but the blog must be written and thou shall write it.
Didn’t manage to enjoy that compliment too much though, because my victims kept calling me.
The Financial Guru is Financially Cooked
Your beloved financial guru is in kind of a messy situation regarding his money.
I know exactly what you’re thinking — how can a guy writing about money be so bad at it?
For which I will say that if there is a will there is a way.
Got to give me credit for digging myself into such a deep mess.
Now after carefully calculating all my debts I have come to the conclusion that I have a negative net worth of about 4000.
Negative 4000.
Yup, the guru with his esteemed knowledge managed to double it within a week.
As the great Jeremy Clarkson said, “Sometimes my genius… it’s almost frightening.”
As a result of this assessment I am left with only 1 choice — to cut my losses and sell my stocks.
I can then use this money to repay the debt. I have about 2500 in stocks and about 500 in loans to others, so after all this I will increase my net worth to about 1500 rupees, still in negative.
To all my financial victims — your money will return in Avengers: Doomsday.
Finally Started, Immediately Regretted It
Along with my legendary handling of my finances, I also need to learn about them.
And miracles do happen — after effectively procrastinating for over a year towards completing Phase 1 of my studies, I finally managed to at least complete the classes part of the phase.
You know how much time it took me — 2 hours.
I took 365 days to complete a 2-hour task.
Well, don’t expect a joke here, it’s just the tragedy of my ways.
Still, I have to complete the studying and passing the exam part. I just need to make sure that it happens before the next man lands on the moon.
See, the story of how I chose these 2 exams is quite interesting.
In CA studies we have the option to choose Paper 3 and Paper 4 for online exams.
Paper 4 was simple — I chose Entrepreneurship & Start-up Ecosystem because I like the subject and felt that this would be best for me.
But the twist lies in Paper 3.
Here, everyone told me to take the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, but I didn’t, because your hero is not scared of a challenge.
He is not going to go the way everyone travels — he is going to take the road not taken.
So he decided to take Financial Services and Capital Markets.
The crowd was stunned and the hero had a slight grin on his face.
Time passed and finally his time came to study.
I opened the book and a dark realisation hit me.
Maybe the hero was better off if he had been afraid.
Instead of choosing a 72-page simple subject, he had chosen a 380-page mammoth.
Even with all this, I showed an expression of pity to my friends for choosing the easy one — while crying inside.
Your guy is not going to lose aura points on this.
So that’s why this exam needs to be conquered, it needs to be beaten — so that the legend must go on.
The legend of the man who walked on fire, not because it was necessary, but because it was cool.
And who am I?
I might be the finance guru running from the debtors, or I might be the cool hero that walks away from an explosion looking cool while shitting his pants.
But right now I am a blogger who’s writing about some stupid thing and you’re the idiot who’s reading this garbage — and you’re my disciples who truly need help and hopefully you will get it.
