We are earning money by our mind and hard work. We are spending this money for disposing of our responsibilities, entertainment and the rest we are saving to invest in different types of schemes and buying assets like houses, lands, plots, jewellery, etc.
But we are not keeping the records of all our investments. We are only keeping hard copies of the investment certificates randomly like Passbooks, FD certificates, Bond Certificates and many such documents in one place.
If these investments are very few then it always at our fingertips but as these increases during the course of time and we generally forgot how much investments we have done and where.
Do you need any CA or financial expert to maintain your finance?
Generally we are thinking that we need CA or finance expert to manage our personal money & investments information. But it’s not true now you can do it by self just spending 2 minutes time in 15 day or in a month.
If you are in IT, Technical, Marketing, Sales, Manufacturing, Medical, Writer, Content Creator, Youtuber, Business, or any other fields you can do it by self without having accounting background.
What is stopping us to maintain it?
