Borrowing to fund current bills is getting easier with technology and apps. But there is this worry about whether you are getting into a debt trap by borrowing too much.

Thank You Monika!
We at Sanskriti School are extremely grateful to Ms. Monika Halan, the author of Let’s Talk Money for gracing us with her presence for a workshop ‘Let’s Talk Money’. She interacted with the staff of Sanskriti School and guided them on investment and advised them on how to increase their savings in a world fraught with uncertainty. Investment and savings are matters of financial literacy that are accompanied by many myths and misconceptions and her session served to disprove them. Her interaction and elucidations enlightened the staff members about the various facets of saving and investment. She very systematically illuminated this matter by simplifying complex topics. Her interaction offered a lot of confidence to us. The session was followed by a very animated Q/A session which reflected the success of the workshop and the certainty that staff members gained on the matter.
Ms Richa AgnihotriPrincipal Sanskriti School
Thank you for the great insights you have provided us on both the days. Both the sessions have been a huge hit I must admit, and who can dare to forget the Bollywood tadka that you have presented in some of the slides in the first session. The Dhan chakra, the thumb rules to check for retirement, and the 6 money habits that lead to financial fitness have indeed been very helpful in understanding the dynamics.
And coming to today’s session as Arun had rightly foreseen, many of us were taken aback, rather alerted on the important aspects that some of us have missed doing or postponed. Your session today has clearly instilled some of these and am sure most of our employees are going to be working on similar aspects based on your recommendations.
Last but not the least have thoroughly enjoyed the association we have had with you, Monika. And we look forward to having more engaging conversations in future.
On behalf of the ServiceNow team, thank you once again for the “most engaging & informative session”.
