Bunny had just come back from a wedding. Not his own, sadly. But it felt like his heart had been broken.
“That Narain Uncle’s son made ₹2 lakhs from one investment in 6 months.
FD ‘tod’ ke ya SIP ‘rok’ ke wo investment le lena chahiye tha, naye iPhone ka paisa nikal jata!”
He opened his mutual fund app... saw just 9% return.. and suddenly investing in SIP, felt like the biggest mistake of his life.
He had FOMO (fear of missing out).
He had regret.
And most dangerously — he had Greed.
Meet Our Story Characters
Our Hero - Bunny is Overwhelmed, jealous, and now tempted to ‘Redeem’ his SIP and go "all-in" on that one investment TIP.
The Guide - Investing Uncle is smiling, sipping chai like a retired monk in Haridwar.
Bunny is overwhelmed
“Uncle, kya fayda long term investing ka? Narain Uncle ka beta toh ek hi investment se lakhpati ban gaya! I’m just wasting time with these boring SIPs.”
Investing Uncle looked up.
“Bunny, have you ever seen a mosquito fly straight into an electrical device that attracts and kills it?”
Bunny blinked.
“Err... yes?”
“Greed (lalach) bhi waise hi chamakta hai. Light lagta hai paisa durr se. Aur zapppp— investment gone.”
“Bunny, greed is not about paisa... it’s about impatience.”
“Jab returns jaldi chahiye hote hain na, tabhi shortcut ke chakkar mein investor bann jaata hai gambler ya trader.”
Bunny looked confused.
“But Uncle, why shouldn’t I chase higher returns? Narain Uncle ka beta to —”
“Narain Uncle ka beta hai trader. Wo yahi karta rahega to Uske future me koi options nhi bachenge.
Tum ho Bunny”
Investing Uncle gives an easy solution and laid down 3 Greed Control Rules for Bunny..
1. Don’t Compare trending Reels and social media with Your Reality
“Log sirf profits dikhate hain, losses kabhi status pe nahi dekhe honge tumne.”
Narain Uncle ka beta made 2 lakhs... but also lost 2.8 lakhs last year.
2. Have a ‘Greed Trigger’ Alarm
If your heart rate goes up or you feel jealous after seeing someone else’s return - take a walk and start reading “Investing Uncle’s Blog”.
3. Focus on 'Why', Not 'How Much'
“You’re investing to retire peacefully, not to win Social Media or Society.”
SIPs might be slow, but they are safe, steady, and sahi hai for your goals.
Bunny sat back, understood and decided…
No anxiety.
No checking investment apps every hour.
No panic on red days.
Just peaceful compounding.
A calm monthly SIP.
And a future where money is a servant, not a master.
“Uncle, so you’re saying slow paisa is smart paisa?”
Uncle smiled and nodded.
Bunny becomes smarter, calmer, in control
Bunny started writing his ‘Money related Goals’
Unfollowed Narain Uncle’s son.
And made a new folder on his phone: "Goal based Investing"
For the first time, he wasn’t chasing — he was building.
My Dear Reader, You are the Real Hero
If Bunny can say no to greed and yes to goals...
You can too, my dear reader.
Next time when someone says “Mere pass ek super tip hai, paisa double karne ke liye”
Just smile, sip your chai, and say:
“Bro, you should start reading Investing Uncle”
“Greed is like that ‘one more samosa’ — tempting now, regretful later.”
The End
