Can a Seafarer Become Billionaire ??
Seafarers are rich but not super rich, they can be considered upper middle class as most of their money is invested in doing courses. Beginning with the basic cadet, the money he receives on board is spent on refresher training and second mates’ courses. A seafarer needs to study a lot until he doesn’t become CAPT /CEO. More the study more hard-earned money gone.
1. TAX ON SEAFARER
Most of the seafarers feels this as the greatest advantages that you don’t have to pay anything for sign-on and sign-off fees, logging fees, or boarding fees until you leave and return to your home port, everything goes inside your pocket and nothing comes out and even tax tree.
2. EXPENSES
Once you come shore money goes at same speed as it comes in.
Most of the earned money on ship goes in travelling and rent and other house expenses once you start doing course from other cities in India. So, it’s not possible for a seaman to make a billions but the person” WHO IS BUSINESS MINDED” will become billionaire very soon as he knows how to invest his money, which business will give him growth and what is risk -reward ratio. He is wise in taking financial decision and always knows to manage his hard-earned money.
Merchant navy is a job and job alone can’t make you super super rich, never ever put yourself in dilemma that job is alone the solution to your financial needs, be a job provider than a job taker. There are hundreds of crores of cargo being transferred by ship in one go but seafarer is paid to take care of cargo that means you are working under boss pressure; you will be paid satisfactory money but you can’t become unicorns.
