I am happy to share this news with you all, that my 2nd book is going to release in next few weeks, whose title is “How to be Your Own Financial Planner in 10 Steps” . The book is published by CNBC 18. The book is now ready for pre-order, so you can order it now, it will be delivered to you as soon as it hits the stores which will happen in just few more days.
About the Book
By the time you complete this book, your financial life will have taken new shape!. You will have worked on 10 different areas of your financial life, in the same way a certified financial planner works with you. The book has the ability to guide you on how to plan the 10 most important areas of your financial life. There are two types of investors in India, those who plan their financial life and those who plan nothing and just let their financial live move with the flow. The second group is extremely large, and this book is targeted at this group.
Many investors who are DIY (Do It Yourself) investors can use this book to plan their financial life and be their own financial planners at some basic level. The book has the 3 elements of education, planning and action items all packed into one. Written for the common person, in simple language, the book deals with the most important financial worries and questions.
What are you waiting for ?
Anyone who feels that he can do his own financial planning and with a little support and direction he/she can plan his financial life, then one should buy this book. There are 10 chapters which cover 10 different areas of your financial life and helps you understand those areas, what you need to do about it, how you should mess it up and guides you to plan it out in simple and easy language. Each chapter has action oriented exercise at the end of each chapter, so while you go through each chapter, you will keep on making your action item list and finally complete things. I would say grab the book today, because this is the best it can be. If you need external support, you can always go for our online financial advisory services.
UPDATE – First Book Name is Changed
I have one more news to share. My first book “Jagoinvestor – Change your relationship with money” was a great success. However we are changing its name to “16 personal finance principles every investor should know” to make sure that the name of the book reflects what the book is all about. The book content is exactly same, just the name is changed now. So its now in new avatar.
Thanks for your love and support, because of this awesome community, it was possible to give shape to these 2 books. While the first book is more on the principles of personal finance which every investor should know, the second book is all about planning and taking action. I would be waiting for your reviews about the book.

I have just completed reading your book & want to thanks you for writing this book. You have explain everything about financial planning in such a simple language that even a beginner can understand & make positive changes in his financial life.
Things that I like about this book:
1. Simple language.
2. Explain with real life example.
3. Provided template / formula whenever required.
4. There is action plan at the end of each topic.
I am sure that if I follow simple steps mentioned in this book, then I will live happy financial life.
Thanks for appreciation Amit . I am delighted !
Hi Manish,
Congratulations on release of your new book! I got a copy and have started reading and analyzing the decisions I have made till this time in my life. I am on chapter #3 health insurance Page 49 , where you have explained the premium and age relationship 36-44 would cost ~7K, 46-49 would cost ~ 11K and so on …
For example I am 44 yrs. old and would be paying ~7K premium … what happens two years down the line , when I would be 46 yrs. will the insurance company allow me the same old premium of ~7K or with nominal increase ? or will I be pushed in the bracket of ~11K …. As you have mentioned in the chapter that the insurance will have to be renewed per year (so will it be for some varying premium?) if Yes , then what advantage from premium cost perspective I would be gaining in starting early ?
Appreciate if you can explain and enlighten me with this aspect. As my understanding is health insurance doesn’t work like life insurance where the premium is fixed throughout or fixed period of once life. Any options available in market where the premium can be made fixed for definitive years ? .. as far as my understanding goes … one buy’s at 46 or 50 or 60 it will still be in +/- 10 % range of existing catalogue price derived by the Insurance company.
Best Regards,
Atharva, Pune
No it will not be pushed to the new bracket if you are an old customer. the new higher premiums are only when you take the fresh policy with old age. However your premium can still go up , but thats for everyone ..
Thanks Manish for the clarification.
But this increase would be as per the slab of age range isnt it ? which could give 30-40% saving for early starters. If possibile please send me a pointer data charts where i can compare the rates for premium starting at early age and try to compare with starting with later age ..for last 5 yrs (though historic data might not be very accurate, indicator of future)
Thanks, Atharva
I am not sure if there is any chart like this available .
