This image might look like a light-hearted “prescription,” but its message is profoundly serious.

It captures the emotional and behavioral side of money better than most financial textbooks ever could.

Let’s start with the diagnosis:

Being human.

That’s right. Financial anxiety, the need for certainty, and the dream of a worry-free retirement aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs of humanity.

But here’s the catch:
Being human also means being vulnerable to short-term noise.

Reacting emotionally to market dips.
Chasing trends.
Fearing loss more than desiring gain.

That’s where the prescription comes in.

Pay off debt—starting with the highest interest. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the fastest way to reduce financial stress and regain control.

Invest regularly. More than you think. Not just when you feel good about the market. But especially when you don’t. Wealth is built quietly, in moments of consistency, not intensity.

Own global equities. Diversify your opportunities. Don’t anchor your financial future to one geography or one story. Broaden your lens. The world is larger than the NIFTY or the SENSEX.

Insure against bad surprises. Not against every possible risk. Just the ones you can’t afford to face alone. Insurance is a risk-transfer tool, not an investment plan.

And then comes the most powerful advice of all:

Stick to the plan.

Because in a world full of noise, algorithms, headlines, and hype, the smartest investors are not those who chase returns.

They are the ones who protect their peace.

Who trust the process.
Who stay the course—even when it’s boring.

Financial success is rarely about finding the next big thing.

It’s about avoiding big mistakes.
And that begins with having the right mindset, the right partner, and the right plan.

So, take this prescription seriously.

And revisit it often.

Because your financial health, like your physical health, needs ongoing care.

And a great financial professional?

They’re not just managing your money.
They’re managing your wellbeing.
