It was only in my late thirties that I got interested in my finances. Prior to that, especially in my PhD years, I was pretty lackadaisical about how much I was saving. One of my professors used to say: “Some people know how money works; some people know how ideas work.” That, pretty much, summed up my own opinions on money.
When I was thirty seven, I chanced upon the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad (1997) by Robert Kiyosaki. It proved to be a wake-up call for me. For one, it showed that money itself is just an idea and if we make up our mind we could do well in the money game as well.
