The burnt out rat: When a Money-Slave Met a Financial Master

“Readers would be well-advised not just to read it but to refer to it repeatedly to continue learning from it as they navigate through their changing financial and professional circumstances.” – Extract from foreword by Mr. Parminder Singh, Chief Digital and Commercial officer at Mediacorp Singapore, Ex-MD Twitter – Asia, Ex-MD Google – Asia Pacific (Display Business) The burnt out rat is a parable: it shows you what financial freedom looks like. Much more, it lets you feel what it is like to be liberated from monetary worries, sets you on the path, holds your hand and guides you through all the challenges you will face on the way to your destination. Arjun Thakral, a highflying executive, realizes that he is a burnt out rat stuck in a rut from which he has no escape. He discovers that his close friends – an entrepreneur and a doctor – are also living similar lives of financial worry. This is the story of how the three friends break away from their conventional ideas about the concepts of profession, identity, money, assets, financial freedom and life goals. Ultimately, each of the friends discovers a personal path to bliss and each devises his own plan of achieving financial freedom.
