High Costs, Taxes and poor us !

Imagine a situation, in which you're having a lavish car but no proper roads to drive it, where you're sick and the remedy is only government hospitals, where you're living your esteemed life but no security to it, where you buy products but no proper governing body to check the quality of the goods. At last, imagine a second situation in a world where you get a potential satisfaction of what that product is intended to provide. Which one would you prefer? Think about it. Take a minute and think about it again. Which one do you prefer? Obviously the second option right? Yes, we intend to purchase goods and services in which we can derive complete satisfaction.

Students, Jobs and Universities of India - Has it become a joke?

Are you too one among those who have been given the advice of becoming a doctor or engineer? If the answer is yes, you have been sold a piece of advice that is worthless. This also states your level of submissiveness towards the baseless advice that we get randomly from family, relatives, and teachers.

In his book, Keynes focused on 3 unemployment types - Voluntary, Involuntary and Structural Unemployment.  Though there have been several definitions of "voluntary" and "involuntary unemployment" in the economics literature, a simple distinction is often applied. Voluntary unemployment is attributed to the individual's decisions, whereas involuntary unemployment exists because of the socio-economic environment (including the market structure, government intervention, and the level of aggregate demand) in which individuals operate.

What not to do in your 20s.

Most people will say things like… Partying Hard drugs Marrying the wrong person No studies or marks Getting in trouble with the law And the list goes on. But the simple truth is that  none  of these things necessarily “guarantee” they will have a hard life. Those things  can  lead to an unnecessarily hard life, but they don’t have to. However, there are a few mistakes that, if made in your 20’s will set you up for an unnecessarily hard life in the future. Namely… 1.
