Dia Mirza, actress, shares some money tips
I earned my first pay cheque when I was 17 years old. I had worked for a summer job with a company called Neeraj's Multimedia Studios.
My most expensive purchase to date would be my home which I bought at 19. It has been a very lucky and wise investment.
I manage my money myself. I also have a financial advisor, an agency that manages my investments and, of course, my chartered accountant's company that has worked with me for 19 years now.
The best advice about money I received was from my father, and I live by it even today - "Pay your taxes and sleep well at night."
I think the only money mistake one makes is not planning for expenses and also pulling out from investments due to a fear that the market is crashing. I think what holds in good stead is to trust and believe in the instruments one has invested in, hold out and just ride the wave.
I would like to invest in a property that I can cultivate and turn into a completely sustainable living eco-space.
