🌱 Early Money Struggles

I grew up in a regular middle-class Indian family where money was always “just enough” but never “comfortable.” Everything was planned to the last rupee—milk bills, school fees, rent, groceries, and a tiny portion for celebrations.

I learned early:

One unexpected medical bill could shake the house.
Festivals meant both joy and tension.
Salary day brought relief but also responsibility.

Money was never the enemy—it was the uncertainty around money that created stress.

💔 My Worst Financial Phase

My biggest financial downfall happened in my early 20s.

❌ I had no emergency fund.

One minor health issue emptied my savings.

❌ I used credit cards casually.

Interest piled up fast.

❌ I spent emotionally and silently.

Food delivery, online shopping, weekend hangouts—small leaks everywhere.

❌ I believed “I’ll start saving later.”

Later never comes unless you change something.

I finally realized how dangerous financial ignorance could be, especially in India where responsibilities come early.

🔁 The Turning Point

Everything changed the day I calculated my monthly expenses for the first time.
I saw:

₹4,200 in delivery apps
₹1,100 in hidden bank charges
₹3,500 in subscriptions I didn’t need
₹2,800 in impulsive spends
Credit card EMI I was ashamed to admit

That night, I built my first simple budget in Google Sheets.

It wasn’t fancy.
It wasn’t perfect.
But it was honest.

Within 6 months:

I paid off debt
Saved my first emergency fund
Reduced unnecessary spending
Started SIPs
Gained confidence with money

A lot of what I learned is similar to what I share in
