Wooded View near Barbizon, Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, 1900
The Barbizon artists’ colony was located on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris. Barbizon painters exerted a major influence on the Hague School. For this reason, Weissenbruch made a pilgrimage there for his only trip abroad, which he made at the ripe age of 76! He portrayed the characteristic birch forest, with a painter leaning against a boulder while sketching.

महंगाई का असर: आपकी बचत को चुपके से खा रही है मुद्रास्फीति, जानें कैसे; यहां पढ़ें पूरी डिटेल
India News: महंगाई का असर आम आदमी की जेब पर पड़ रहा है। 7% वार्षिक मुद्रास्फीति से आज के 1 करोड़ रुपये 20 साल बाद सिर्फ 25.84 लाख के बराबर रहेंगे। स्कूल फीस, चिकित्सा और मासिक खर्च कई गुना बढ़ जाएंगे। रिटायरमेंट के लिए 4 करोड़ रुपये की जरूरत होगी। लोग अपनी बचत को लेकर चिंतित हैं। मुद्रास्फीति खरीदने की शक्ति को कम कर रही है।
मुद्रास्फीति का गणित
महंगाई का असर समय के साथ बढ़ता है। 7% मुद्रास्फीति से 1 करोड़ रुपये की कीमत 5 साल में 71.30 लाख, 10 साल में 50.75 लाख और 20 साल में 25.84 लाख रह जाएगी। यानी 74% मूल्य की हानि होगी। निवेश से 7-8% रिटर्न मिलने पर भी वास्तविक लाभ शून्य रहता है। लोग अपनी बचत की सुरक्षा के लिए चिंतित हैं। रिजर्व बैंक मुद्रास्फीति को नियंत्रित करने पर जोर दे रहा है।
रोजमर्रा के खर्च पर बोझ
महंगाई का असर रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी पर दिखता है। आज 1 लाख रुपये की स्कूल फीस 20 साल बाद 3.87 लाख हो जाएगी। 5 लाख की चिकित्सा लागत 19.35 लाख तक पहुंचेगी। मासिक 50 हजार का खर्च 1.93 लाख हो जाएगा। लोग अपने भविष्य की योजना बनाने में परेशान हैं। बढ़ती कीमतें उनकी बचत को निगल रही हैं। रिटायरमेंट की तैयारी के लिए ज्यादा निवेश जरूरी है।
रिटायरमेंट की चुनौती
20 साल बाद रिटायर होने वालों के लिए महंगाई का असर गंभीर है। आज 1 करोड़ रुपये पर्याप्त लगते हैं, लेकिन 20 साल बाद यह बुनियादी खर्च भी पूरा नहीं कर पाएगा। 4 करोड़ रुपये का लक्ष्य रखना होगा। लोग अपनी बचत को मुद्रास्फीति से बचाने के लिए निवेश विकल्प तलाश रहे हैं। बढ़ती कीमतें उनके सपनों पर असर डाल रही हैं। यह स्थिति चिंताजनक है।
बचत की सुरक्षा जरूरी
मुद्रास्फीति से बचने के लिए स्मार्ट निवेश जरूरी है। 7% मुद्रास्फीति हर साल बचत की कीमत घटाती है। लोग अपने पैसे को सुरक्षित रखने के लिए चिंतित हैं। कई निवेशक 7-8% रिटर्न को पर्याप्त मानते हैं, लेकिन यह मुद्रास्फीति के बराबर है। महंगाई का असर कम करने के लिए बेहतर वित्तीय योजना जरूरी है। लोग अपने भविष्य को लेकर सतर्क हो रहे हैं।

“Netanyahu’s purpose was to drag Trump in,” Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator, says of the U.S. attack on Iran.
United Nations inspectors and U.S. intelligence assessments have said Iran is not building weapons.
“The danger now is that, having brought the U.S. into this, Israel will seek to go further up the escalatory ladder,” says Levy. “It wants the chaos.”

A Palestinian-Jordanian woman with German residency was separated from her one-year-old after German authorities deemed the child a security threat, she and her lawyers say.
The European Legal Support Centre, which is supporting her case, say the woman is the latest victim of the German state’s weaponisation of residency issues to repress Palestinian solidarity.

The image features a person holding a glass of dark liquid, likely a beverage, in their right hand. They are wearing sunglasses and a black shirt. The background includes a wall with a beach scene painting. In the top left corner, there is an inset image of a modern building with the "LinkedIn" logo prominently displayed on the facade. The building is a two-story structure with a brick exterior and large glass windows, set against a clear blue sky. The text overlay on the image reads, "I hope Iran doesn’t try to destroy our top secret nuclear facility pictured here in the top left corner." The TikTok logo and the username "[@]corporatedudes" are visible in the bottom left corner of the image.
