Ram Gaikwad is a financial mentor, entrepreneur, and lifelong student of human behaviour.With over two decades of real-world experience guiding individuals through financial decisions, emotional setbacks, and long-term planning, his work sits at the intersection of money, psychology, and life design. As the founder of RGFS he has witnessed hundreds of personal journeys—successes shaped by discipline, and failures shaped by emotion. These lived experiences form the foundation of his writing.

Q: What Inspired You To Write This Book?

This realization inspired me to write this book.
