Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali. Much like everyone looks forward to the festival of lights, Dhanteras is also celebrated with much fervor. It’s on that auspicious day that people buy something new as it’s considered good and lucky. Celebrities talk about Dhanteras, what they are planning to splurge on this time and also the fact that the pandemic taught us how the right investment and savings matter a lot. Read on:

We are not really into Dhanteras much. I think our mothers usually do the needful. For us festivals are only about good food and decorating our home with lights and all. This time the celebrations will again be within the four walls. This pandemic has taught me to live every day king size, because we don’t know what’s in store for tomorrow. Yes, the future is important. But, if you don’t take care of your health, then there might be a future. So I have now started believing in living for today.

I would be buying some new household things like some cooking utensils and clothes etc. Yes, COVID has taught us to always be on a safer side and always have a back up. We should definitely go for the right investments which help our future to be secure.

We always buy gold because it’s an auspicious day and they say if we buy gold it multiplies. Also it’s said that the glitters of gold wards of any evil too. An alternative that can be done is to buy corn. It symbolises abundance. It’s the symbol of the colour yellow which is the colour of gold too. So I’m gonna buy a gold coin and corn. The pandemic has helped us to value money. It has taught us to keep a mind set of earning, spend only on what’s important and keep emergency funds handy always.

Last 2 years I have had zoom meetings and been in the house throughout Lockdown, I must buy a beautiful key chain for my house. Absolutely I agree that COVID and the pandemic taught us that the right investment and savings matter a lot and invest not just in money, but also in the kind of energies you invite and send, in self interest.
Sham Mashalkar
I am planning to buy a tab for my mother as a surprise.
Yes, covid pandemic taught us a lot of things like relationships and Money and saving and not buying unnecessary stuff.
Harshali Zine
Nothing specific as such I have decided to buy on dhanteras. I think I have everything that I need to Celebrate the festival. I mostly invest my money in learning new skills. Pandemic has given a new perspective to life. Health is the only wealth and to invest in health is the best investment ever. I have invested a great deal of time and money in my mind, body and soul wellness, rest is all secondary to me.
Prateik Chaudhary
I don’t buy something or any particular thing just because its Dhanteras. I buy things whenever I feel like, on good auspicious days for me and my family. I pray for myself and for my family good health and wealth. For me, the pandemic and the lockdown has taught me to do the right investment and savings. But, thankfully, from the beginning only I believe in savings and spending less on unnecessary things.
