Do you remember? How did your grandmother, great grandmother and even your mother save money? They would sometimes hide the money saved from household expenses in a diary or sometimes in a utensil in the kitchen. That money would come in handy in times of need. Apart from this, they would buy gold in the name of investment. In the name of daughters and daughters-in-law.
That was the way we women used to save. But in the last few years, working women have started showing interest in investing. A recent study conducted by Waterfield has revealed that about 21 percent of working women have started investing money in the stock market. About 47 percent of women are still interested in buying gold, but now instead of buying jewelry, e-gold or gold biscuits are becoming more popular.
Preeti Rathi Gupta, Director of JM Financial, says, “Middle class working women are slowly but surely learning about money management. They are realizing the importance of investing money at the right place.
According to a news published in a financial newspaper, women between 25 and 55 years of age are investing in stock market, equity and real estate. Obviously, they get better returns from here. Our effort is to make the youth financially literate so that their money can be invested at the right place.”
Girls being exploited in the name of jobs
A dangerous news has come from Muzaffarpur, Bihar. How innocent and needy girls were exploited physically and mentally in the name of jobs at a good salary in a call center. Thousands of girls came for interview after seeing the tempting job offer in a newly opened call center on various social sites. There they were shown the mirage of a great job and 15 thousand rupees were taken in the name of touring. There were scam calls in this call center.
Girls were forced to make fraudulent calls, if they refused or did not meet the target, they were raped. Some girls even became victims of rape there. After the complaint of these girls, now the police has locked the call center and caught the culprit. Still the owner of the call center living in Noida has not been caught.
Job is important, but more important than that is your safety and an honest job. Money earned through wrong means never gives happiness. Never get tempted by high salary or tempting offers. Before joining a job, check the place thoroughly.
ADHD is increasing in adults
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a problem of children who are overly hyper. About 62 percent people have silent disease. In this also the percentage of women is more than that of men. In adult women suffering from ADHD between 30 to 55 years, it was found that their memory loss has increased. Their speed of work has reduced. They have started speaking less and have started forgetting things. Such cases are revealed late. If ADHD is detected on time then its treatment is also possible.
