DRIVER COST ME Rs.1 CRORE

When it comes to managing life and money, you always have two choices: Do It Yourself (DIY) to save money, or hire an expert to smoothen the journey.

Many people vehemently oppose the idea of hiring professionals, firmly believing in the DIY route. And honestly, if you have both the time and the deep domain knowledge, you should absolutely go ahead and do it yourself. But if you don't? You need to hire an expert.

Even the Best Need Mentors

  • Cricket: Why does the Indian cricket team—composed of the best players in the country—still need a head coach?

  • Fitness: Going to the gym is great, but if you want a truly phenomenal physique, you need an expert trainer.

  • History & Mythology: In the epic war of Mahabharat, both sides had guidance. Shree Krishna was the mentor for the Pandavas, while Mama Shakuni mentored the Kauravas.

  • The takeaway : You will require a mentor or coach if you want to excel in any particular domain. Choose your advisor wisely, because they dictate your direction.

The Rs.1 Crore Driver Calculation

  • Let’s do the math on what that costs me:

    • Monthly Salary: Rs.15,000

    • The Opportunity Cost: If I invested that same Rs.15,000 every month at a 15% return for the next 15 years, that money would grow to nearly Rs.1 Crore (assuming a fixed salary).

    So, yes. On paper, my driver is costing me Rs.1 Crore in future wealth.

So why am I happy to pay it? Because of what I get in return: Time, energy, and peace of mind. My driver takes care of maintenance, picks up and drops off my kids from school, and takes my parents to the market. By outsourcing these tasks, I buy back my time. I can completely focus on my core expertise and generate more value there, rather than burning out behind the wheel.

As the saying goes, the most valuable thing you can buy with money is time.

How to Apply This to Your Wealth

If your goal is to accumulate massive wealth, the same logic applies: hire an expert financial advisor.

However, if you still want to try managing your own money alongside an expert, I challenge you to try the Two-Portfolio Experiment:

Portfolio Strategy Purpose Portfolio 1: Goal-Based

  • Strictly locked in for specific life milestones (e.g., Child's Education, Retirement). No early withdrawals.

  • Managed professionally or systematically.

Portfolio 2: The Playground

  • Do whatever you want. Try timing the market, picking trendy stocks, or testing new strategies.

  • High flexibility

The Challenge: Compare the performance of both portfolios after 5 to 10 years.

Without a doubt, the disciplined, goal-based portfolio will fetch you a significantly higher rate of return.

Final Thought

Don't let the fear of a fee stop you from building an empire. Focus on what you are best at, and hire experts for the rest.

  • I approached Hari by recommendation of one of my friend because I asked for an independent advisor not employed by a bank and not committed to sell the bank’s financial product. I read articles in Financial Kundali and they were real eye opener. Products which I thought can be investment are actually not. Hari is a BRILLIANT financial planner and he has all of the best qualities of a professional adviser.
