Some assumptions before we go ahead ~

🔹50-30-20 rule of home budgeting followed here. It means 80% of your salary is expenditure while 20% is savings.

🔹The same expenses is assumed to have taken place when trading is pursued.

🔹Profession switch takes place at 40 yrs age after fulfilling the following criteria. Image
4/11

So at the age of 40, suppose u have a decent package of Rs 12 lacs p.a. with annual increment of 10% p.a.

Meanwhile, your trading capital is 2X your annual package i.e. Rs 25 lacs around.

You have accumulated a net worth of Rs 75 lacs.
5/11

Lets see your situation had u been working in a corporate job till age 60.

This is how much savings u would have accumulated at 60 years of age.

Around Rs 1.37 cr !

Savings rate remains constant @ 20% of your salary. Image
6/11

Lets see what happens when u pursue trading FT assuming u r converging 4% monthly returns or 50% annual ROI.

(Savings is added to trading capital for next year).

At age 60 u have accumulated Rs 11.23 cr as savings while capital growing to approx Rs 24 cr. Image
7/11

Savings rate has increased gradually upto 95% of your annual income in 20th year of trading.

& this calculation doesn't end here 'coz there's no retirement in trading.
8/11

While in job we consistently worry about our expenses 'coz they form a major part of our salary while in trading after some initial years, expenses constitute a nominal part of our income.
9/11

In case u r struggling to decide upon the profession switch Maths comes to rescue.

Play lots of excel.

These calculations will make your work easier & your decision will be based upon a solid foundation of numbers & figures.
10/11

Trading has always been a full time profession since long in developed nations. But it has to get its due recognition in our Indian society.

Its that u have do your due diligence to the same level for trading profession as u did while deciding upon your 1st career.
That's all for this thread!
