It is extremely important to know financial management from a young age, basically from the time when you start earning. Even though “Not saving” has become a cool thing today, wise people certainly do not believe in this. The importance of saving will never go out of style and it is necessary to inculcate this habit from a young age. Currently, a tweet by the Edelweiss CEO Radhika Gupta has taken the internet by surprise. The CEO revealed the age at which the three generations of her family started investing in equities. The age of her child will definitely leave you in shock! However it has left Twitter divided.
Edelweiss Managing Director and CEO Radhika Gupta took to her Twitter handle to reveal the age at which the three generations in her family started investing inequities. Through this post, Radhika Gupta wanted to stress the importance of financial independence. Radhika revealed that her father started investing in equities 40+ years whereas she insulated this habit when she was just 24 years old. However, Radhika Gupta’s son is way ahead of their grandfather and mother, because investments in his name have started from the age of 6 months only.
