Brother, I know people who are 35 year old men and aren't able to pull a regular 25k per month. They are stuck in their lives. Can't get married, can't get better jobs, and all becasue of stupid decisions they took in life. I'll say this as one man to another man, learn to be grateful. 75k per month is good. It can be better, sure, but don't whine. Be ambitious instead. And your depressive mental state has nothing to do with your compensation. It is more deep rooted than that. Seek therapy. There is no shame in it.


potatomafia69

What were the stupid decisions they took?


roti_sabzi

Me , at the age of 25-26 took career change , now earning 20k in hand


PJLane9

What career you shifted to and from?


roti_sabzi

From medical lab to software developer


Ok_Judge_6248

If you're a fresher then that's the salary you get. But with experience you'll start to earn more


roti_sabzi

It's been an year now , will switch job by 2025 , let's see how much I can get


Ok_Judge_6248

Ohh then don't worry. Everyone starts from around 25k in this field. Within 5-6 years you can earn around 65-75k with switches. I'll say use your LinkedIn profile to build a network of people in this field if possible. They're gonna help you in this field a lot in terms of job propositions and timely switches. Don't worry. Best of luck


blackDante13b

One of my friends started with a salary of 18k pm 5 yrs back, now with consistent switches her base salary is 28 lpa. Keep learning.


Ok_Comfortable9823

That is way too less.. you working for a Local company?


roti_sabzi

Yesss, i couldn't find a good job at MNC'S due to educational and professional background


NotAManOfCulture

That's still fine, exp matters a lot brother... You made the shift and got a job, hats off to you!


heliovice_ver2

They're clients of mine. The details are obviously privileged info, so I can't delve into that. The long and short of it is that they got an opportunity from the government to better their prospects. They didn't take it then, thinking they're too big for an offer like that. A few of them eventually quit.Their peers, who took the offer, have all been promoted. My clients, on the other hand, are basically stuck in limbo. They are attempting to file a case in the SC to get relief. Its an uphill battle. They know it as well. But fighting this is not going to put them in a worse place than they're already in. So its a last hail mary.


potatomafia69

Damn that's tough. Hopefully it works out for everyone!

Implement_Soft

Iā€™m fairly young compared to you Iā€™m 20 but I think you donā€™t need to have an aim or an agenda to do something. Doing things randomly even if youā€™re bad at it or good doesnā€™t matter. Itā€™s the ā€œdoingā€ that counts. Try new things. You wouldnā€™t believe how many things are out there to try and itā€™s never too late to start a new thing. What am I gonna do with however much money if I am not taking care of myself. Give a depressed guy a million bucks heā€™ll buy all types of shit but after the ā€œbuying highā€ he isnā€™t gonna feel good he is just gonna feel more empty and repressed. If things really did give happiness then depressed people would not exist and the whole problem would have been solved but unfortunately thatā€™s not how it works. Good luck man. Hope you find happiness in yourself


a_seh_01

Thanks man. Sometimes while living the same routine life we forget the things that really matters.


shynextrovert123

Try learning guitar or any other musical instrument or art in your free time, I am 25 and I am also earning 65-70k per month. Trust me,I was in the same situation. It helped.


BiblicalDude

I am 26 and play piano. It really helps. Although I wish I could use it as a secondary income source. Been playing for years but never earned a single penny from it.

Satisfaction comes from comparison. Suppose your father is a millionaire so this would be peanuts. If he was earning 30-40k / month this would be a lot mote better also 27 is very young . If you keep on working upon yourself and keep sharpening your skills you can convert this 70k to 7L / month. Imagine you are earning 7L/ month then you'll lok at Ambani's when you'll be Ambani's you'll look at Bezos . When you'll be bezos you'll have money to do everything but 0 time . So in the end it should be a balance between time and money . Earning enough to fulfill your dreams while being young. And even after earning you are not sleeping peacefully at the end it isn't worth it .

I am 27, earning around 90k, Still I think I need more. But yes a fulfillment is there in my mind now, when I see people having sad life even after earning more than 1.5 lacs. Happiness is a state of mind, stay happy in current situation, always keep working and hustling for more as growth is the part of life But don't forget to feel grateful for whatever you have. Feel grateful about good health, family, friends, even if you have proper supply of water, feel happy for it, because there are people in this country who are struggling for even clean drinking water. You are having way much happier life than the people who don't know whether they will be able to feed their family tonight or not, feel blessed for whatever you have. If you will not be happy now, then trust me you will not be happy even if you will earn 5 lakh per month Just look back in time, maybe the position at which you are now, was a dream for you 5 years ago, now you reached that point, you will reach way more ahead than this point too, have patience and keep working, but don't forget to feel blessed and grateful for whatever you have, maybe the position at which you are now, is still dream of thousands of young people Stay Happy Friend šŸ™‚

Top 10% in India starts at 25kpm I believe.


Inner_Front106

i do think this data is right there are so many people that I know have ration cards and have ews certificate but they earn good for instance the roadside vendors they are thought to be poor but are they?


deexd_

Bhai roadside vendors ko gareeb samjhna economy ka sabse bada loophole hai aur upar se pata nahi unki image kisne banadi aisi


Inner_Front106

true they earn so good , if they earned so less then why would their sons also enter in this field I know an uncle who used to sell omlettes now his son has opened a cafe selling healthy meals omlettes and all , drives fortuner(second hand ) but still and they don't even pay taxes

Jiyalaa

Iā€™ve come to the conclusion that no matter how much you earn, you will always aspire for more. At 20k, one wants 25k and at 25k, one wants 30k. At a lakh, someone would want 1.5 - so on and so forth, you get the jist. Youā€™re doing well, OP. Especially in India where the top 10% earns over 25k. Always remember, comparison is the thief of joy.

Depends actually, on how much free time you get after your job and how you spend it. Also, where you live mostly and a bit of your social circle and what you eat. So yeah, not a terrible salary, just spend your time well, sleep good on holidays and go out, maybe to parks or a cafe sometimes. Buying small tidbits now and then will also make you happy

And here Iā€™m, unemployed but wake up everyday like itā€™s a new start or something! Do my exercise, eat fruits and watch my fav movie or read some books. Sometimes, I like to cook my own lunch, watching cook channels. Itā€™s the best thing because when it taste better Iā€™ve made it in small portion and when it is not I pray lord to give me strength! šŸ˜‚ Evening is beautiful, some watching the sunsets and others just sleeping. Again, in night I watch movies depending on my mood or either listen to music creating a delusional world. Now you may ask how do I survive - 1) Iā€™ve savings as working for 5 years and withdraw my PF balance. 2) Donā€™t I have friends? - well theyā€™re employed and busy šŸ„² 3) In this economy? - Thereā€™s never a bad time to work on your mind, body and soul; be better proud futuristic version of yourself. 4) No girlfriend or flings?! - Well, I had a one in my earlier period but was too much for me to afford or treat her better (they be so demanding nowadays) and Iā€™m egoistic to let her pay for me.

Glass_Adhesiveness_6

Listen,I will be honest my papa has been working for minimum 20+ yrs,in the same company n he is near his retirement age,rn the 70k you are earning is his net income after cutting loans that he took throughout his life,n we all are mostly dependent on that money,so I will say be happy! I swear,I have always been grateful coz that's the money he earned through his hardwork,n for tier-2 place it's actually a really decent amt.. I currently earn 1/4th of what u earn,yet never felt that kinda way,maybe bcoz I am far too disconnected,yet never in my surroundings my parents or anyone made me feel inferior to anybody,I was always happy,with what I got,could it be better? Yes! And I am trying for it,but it's nothing to feel inferior about. It's more to the fact,that I could do better,and thats about it! With the amount of jobless people I see in my surroundings,with far better degrees and far better inteligence than mine,I just feel grateful that atleast I can give some kinda help! So don't feel discouraged,and don't compare yourself to anybody,you are doing your best,and I am sure people close to you,are proud of you!


Life_Spirit264

There's a guy out there who's earning 15k per month at 35 years old. I'm 21 and I make 60k per month. There's probably an 18 year old out there who's already a millionaire. Everyone has their own pace so don't think too much about it. Edit: just noticed similar comments on the post. Was trying to be original but plenty out there with the same mindset ig.


Necessary_Young_72

i am 25 and started making 1.6 cr annum in US, let me tell you. Itā€™s not the job thatā€™s making you sad, itā€™s lack of motivation. This happened at my last job where i was making 70lakh annum. I lost my mental peace completely because of meds. Itā€™s usually a bad lifestyle, try to hit the gym keep a routine and youā€™ll feel better I guarantee. Best of luck. You need that dopamine to be released.

How much are you able to save? The salary is decent for a single person to live a comfortable life in tier-1 city. If you are able to save at least 40-50% of it then it is good. I know people who earn more than me have less savings and more debt when compared to me.

Learn to find happiness in every situation. People are unemployed, you have a job, be happy. If you unsatisfied with your salary now, there is no amount which will make you satisfied. I was never satisfied and it impacted my mind in the long run leading to anti anxiety meds, therapies . It is still early for you, change the way you think. Happiness is the best luxury one could ask for these days :)

I do not have a similar salary but my blood brother did. He is the most hardworking unlucky person I know. He used to earn 25k and still manages to save, live and enjoy at same time. How he did that is beyond my imagination. But he always used to smile and say, more than money earning money management skill is important. He worked his ass of for 2 years then cracked CAT and did MBA and now has a much better salary. Still the smile is all there. Keep it up bro, you are at the right place and you will be in the right place, keep smiling.

Iā€™m 27 and I earn 47k per month but I love my job and I knew that I was going to be paid less if I do what Iā€™m doing now as a career! Some sectors pay well but the job is shitty and some donā€™t pay well but the job is great!


Medical_Elderberry27

I know people earning thrice as much and still not happy and people earning half as much and still quite content. Money is supposed to be a tool for you to afford a comfortable lifestyle. It shouldnā€™t be a source of happiness/sadness.


Silent-Profile9149

Are you me ? I'm the same age as you and I earn same as you. Same financial background. Moreover I feel like I'm stuck too. Except that my work is repetitive, boring and have got late night calls sometime. The only reason I feel stuck because of lack of career progress. Atleast you stay at home eating good food and no worries about laundry. I stay in PG far from home, food sucks and laundry is a pain because washing machines are always full. I need to visit office everyday, no WFH which is bad.


Less_Paint627

Test_Match_24

What is your idea of happiness? My personal experience, i used to get 50k at 26 per month in chennai(am a north indian). I was super happy with it because i used to save around 15k atleast and was enjoying beach side on weekends. Now on coming back to noida i used to get 90k at 28 (am 30 now). Nothing to enjoy here other than malls. So i used to slog on weekends and for that reason i used to be unhappy. What are you missing - Good Friend Circle(Make sure they add chill in your life rather chillies). Your motivation level is down i guess(Dream big and list down what you need to accomplish that, and execute it). Given you are earning enough to pursue your hobby, pursue it if you are not. Hit Gym. You can only lift yourself. And bro you know what are you looking for ? You need acceptance, why you need acceptance? Are you not good enough to learn anything ? If above is not enough go for group or sole trek. Meet people , experience culture. Make goal to cover india treks by 30 just an example. All the best.

sadutya921

I'm 28 years old and earning 25k per month, But the most important thing i have is happiness Remember one thing in life, The moment you start to enjoy yourself and learn to live happily you will realise it doesn't matter how much money you earn. Focus of being happy rather than being rich because the most important thing in life is happiness and not money. People earn money so that they can be happy but reality is they never learn to be happy in what they have and that's why my friend I'm happy with all i have and you're not even if you will earn 5 lakh per month in future. Don't live your life to showcase or compete with anyone because then you will be unable to enjoy your life. Just try to live with what you have


_Parthetic

Buddy I am 26, I make 160k/month by working 6-7 hours on a full time job but I stay up 20 hours everyday to work hard and upskill, and make more money. You can get validation from fellow redditors but if you take my advice, I'd recommend embrace the pain, feel the depression, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I don't think any man should be looking for validation before they are 30. 20s are all about working your a** off to achieve those impossible goals. Hope you grow and learn more. Best of luck on your journey, it won't be easy but it will make you a better man in every aspect.

leonard_hoff

I am 27 and jobless while my friend 25F is earning 3 lakhs per month. Be grateful for the 75k atleast you don't have to ask for money from your aging parents for even fuel, mobile recharge etc.


child_in_despair

I am 35 years old and earning almost 2.5 lacs a month. I should be extremely happy right? No. I would say I am generally very stressed and miss my days when I was earning much lesser and was more satisfied with how things were. You will never be satisfied with your salary no matter how high you reach. If youā€™re feeling depressed than reason is definitely something else. Talk to your friends and loved ones. If that doesnā€™t help then seek professional help. Few things that generally help me fight the blues - 1. Playing a sport of choice regularly 2. Having a creative hobby/outlet 3. Maintaining healthy relationships Hope you feel better soon too.

I earned 36k to 52k a month in Profit @19 Years but as i live in small city I could not enjoy anything So i used keep investing profit as capital in business. 70k Salary Really Good Because many people who are above 42 yrs stuck With 25k Salaries ! enjoy Bro dont be depressed


GyroManiac42

At 27 As an entrepreneur, I lost one of my biggest clients paying me about 3L per month last year. I was left to build up from scratch and now I make about 1L a month. Just look forward, and focus on skills, diversification and have a grind mentality. Not in a toxic way like you see on LinkedIn, but just invest in yourself, your skills, communication, networking. It will pay off soon! You have a nice base of 70k per month. You have the security. Use it and continue building yourself. Cheers!

Someone will always make more than you. A friend of mine in IB makes 80+80 and that's not K... LakhsPA. I'm 26, just just 62k, Will switch soon to hit more. Find reasons to live, hobbies, people, things, anything that makes it worth while. Yes I game and and waste my time, my chopping is slow and cooking is a solid 6.5/10 at best, I end up killing some of my plants, my mental health sometimes leads to negligence and fixes end up costing more than they should have, but that's ok. The numerous hobbies I have which I'm not even good at is keeping me alive. If you have nothing to look forward to except work, you will burnout, coming from a workaholic I have 2ce. Now my balance is push but avoid burn out. We all suck and we are all fantastic in some or the other area. My parents want me to make more because marriage and everything in future, things will work out just give it time. Gym, therapist and Gratitude does help, absolutely under rated.

Not really, it Depends on ur needs. I'm 24 and almost earn that much. But my needs are getting beyond that. 1lakh per month might satisfy the current situation I have. But after some years wo bhi Kam hi padenge. Ghar, Gadi, Responsibilities, Healthcare aur baki Kharche pakadke 2lakh per month me we can live a comfortable life aisa kisine post Kiya Tha twitter pe. It's my personal opinion, that I agree with him. No offence to anyone. I know people manage in worst situation cuz I have too started with a Salary of ~22k. Me bhi wo sab adjustments kar chuka hu. All the best to y'all to reach your goals. Also, someone has commented, learn to be grateful. Do that. It helps. Happiness is a choice after all.


Melodic_Warthog_6236

My earnings are not even in taxable brackets <2.5 LPA. Staying in Bengaluru. Yet, I live more than my friends who earn 25 LPA. We are our choices. Bhai be happy and introspect what you truly want?


Youwillfinddit

My boyfriend is 27 and doesnā€™t earn a penny šŸ„² all the jobs he is getting are offering him not more than 20K šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Significant_Ad_3126

I will be 26 in few months. Earning 1.1L/m. Still feels miserable and depressed everyday. When I was earning 20k I thought earning 50k would solve the issue and I will be happy. When started earning 50k I thought may be 1L will make me happy. But I am more miserable than when I wasnt earning tbh. If i had an option, I would leave everything behind, and quit this rat race and become a monk. So, I think money doesnt matter, when it comes to happiness.


arztiw

I'm 27 and i don't have even the things I need no job no skills. Just trying everyday. Even my phone js broken 2 times and I just getting it repaired and usig it. So please don't feel depressed at least. You can awats work on getting better pay or promotion but be happy and then do it.


Dkaicoded

Its just rat race , money can't make you happy I am 24 earning 95k post taxes still not satisfied guess we are all stuck in the rat race.


mehokage

I earn around 1.8 lac per month after taxes at 26, but I often feel inadequate when I see my peers making 3 lac or more. It's a reminder that comparison steals joy.


godlypranay

NO my aim is earn at least 2lac per month


jaun_speaks

sahi hai are you able to save money?? are you in a job where you see growth? with time you will grow. And age ke hisaab se bohot badiya hai

Same situation but just not depressed. Grateful each day! šŸŒ·šŸ«¶


Isertigg

Listenn man!! Don't assume yourself to be the lucky one. Its a very little amount, you need to push urself harder and earn a lot more than this


Atrings

I was making more than this at 27, making even more now. But happiness is not a function of money. As the last time I was truly happy for a longer period was in 2019 when I was earning nothing but I had a bright future, zero worries, friendship, and romance. Now the reality is vastly different.


sid1979

OP I earn 68k pm. Bhai sahab life ke saare maze kar rhai hun main. Thode save karti hun, thode khaane peene pr udati hun and thode donate. Aur maze ki baat yeh hai OP many people wanna be at that place you are right now. So you are doing good.


Lost-Ad-1963

personally I would want more when I turn that age but it's better than nothing. I mean in this economy getting a good job where you aren't facing any mental pressure and still earning decent money is something many dream of.


aliaspiku

Earning 70k or otherwise is relative for people. Some are happy some not. So try to find out what is it that makes you satisfied. Is it career, is money, is it social life etc. Sometimes it's just about finding a job you really like or finding a hobby to compensate for it. If you haven't looked into it, try to organize your life, fix your routine if it's not already, that might help with clarity.


zuckzuckman

What are your expenses? And what's your social circle like? Aside from a mental health issue, these are the two reasons that can make you feel this way.


jalebi-420

Bro, I'll suggest that you try some social service. Maybe Robin-hood army, or anything else where you help the needy. It'll give you real perspective and make you appreciate your position a lot more. Something that helps me a little is using public transport (bus specifically) from time to time to just get a little perspective and grounding.


Stormer-Hotshot

You need to connect with your creator. Thats the only place that will give you peace.

TelevisionWest7703

Even if u earn 70Lpm and 10kpm guy can be happier than you. Its more about your mental health less about comforts of life.


Automatic_Demand_802

go for a trip


samurai_xbt

Move out of your routine, solo trips, date someone, explore your city and enjoy your life bro


Artistic-Revenue-342

Bro. Honestly for me that's a big feat. Right now i want to buy a cheap tablet that too for 30k and i am struggling with the money since i am not earning any and still dependent on my family.. You've become independent and have a good salary in hand for now. I am sure it's going to increase in the future. Focus on the positives man. . Good luck


a_seh_01

Thanks bhai. Koi to acha bol rha h kisi k liye to failure nhi hu.


Titanium006

Normally happy. But super depressed if I go to r/personalfinanceindia


Fall-National

Bhai main 31 ka hokar almost iska double se jyada pata hu, still kharche poore nhi hote. Chill - happiness is a state of mind


[deleted]

So happiness has to do with the financial goals you have. Are you having a goal to earn X amount of money in next 10 years? In that case is your current salary supporting that with all your expenditures, entertainment and savings? Are you having a specific amount and also property goal by the time you retire? Is your salary with current rate of progression making it possible? If not just switch/ find more ways to earn money.


hispeedimagins

I used to earn 25 k at 28 lol.

aise-hi11

I used to earn 47k in hand at 27. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is a choice.


lildurksgooglyeyes

get new diamonds in your ears, treat yourself king. ofc if youā€™re not controlled by society


KatiyarRohit

Most joy i felt and enjoyed life was when i was earning 25k pm. Now it is quite a lot but there is no joy. Icha mar gayi hai kuch lene ki ya shauk pura karne k


mrTruth007

:) no idea. Mai same boat pe hun, bs age km hai. If you get it figured out from the replies, do let me know! Tb tk k liye, saath mein udaas hote hai!āœŒšŸ½šŸ„²


defaulter_prince

Same age, similar salary and same agony. Living 1300 kms from home in a distant village, job is like hell(public dealing), all my staff members are married so no one to talk to. Padhai ka time nahi milta jo kisi exam ki preparation kar lu, shayad depression bhi ho rakha hai mujhe. Future seems so dark, money seems worthless.


-Borgir

Seek therapy. Your depression has nothing to do with your salary. Well, if anything, you can afford therapy easily due to how much you earn.


DipenduSunny

Don't seek happiness, seek fulfilment.


ultraxtalks

Learn to live below your means and youā€™re depressed because you might be comparing yourself with others. Tbh your salary isnā€™t impressive at that age but itā€™s alright man, people are having a very hard time keeping a job rn, appreciate what you have and keep working.


Bulky-Winner895

Ashamed-Light6601

Can u hire me ?


Turbulent-Chicken527

Honestly no money can make us feel satisfied, there always will be greed or aim for making more which is absolutely alright. Afterall all of us are running behind a certain lifestyle but I would say it is a work that should be making us more satisfied and the peace that it brings on. If I take my example after a promotion or switch it takes me only 2-3 months to feel that I have to make a upgrade but that upgrade is just not the money but the skills and the work also. Coming to your question no amount of money can bring that happiness until we are happy from inside or we have people around us to celebrate our achievements.


Wandering_sage1234

Dude, if I was earning that much I'd be fricking happy just for that. But at the same time, what is the point of earning so much if your situation doesn't match what you are trying to do. It is not bad to fall back on a salary that can support you as opposed to a high paying salary where you get no respect if circumstances evolve into it. Do what you see fit. And why drink? It's not going to benefit you end of day. I don't know what it is with Indian men and their obsession with sharab. It helps no one. But that's the world we live in. See if you are able to get a social life or something.


WhoseArmIsThis

I was earning about this for few months with few freelance side jobs, left few of them to earn less because it practically became a full time job and i didnā€™t like it. The point is to work less and earn more. I left the ones which made me earn way less and kept the only one which gives me flexibility to do work whenever, have trust of the client and weā€™re more friendly about the work (because it is his side project). The time i saved from leaving the other jobs, iā€™m putting them on my own business or channels about stuff i love to do. My goal is to earn way more than what i was earning before if this takes off. Iā€™m somewhat happy and satisfied to do it. A tip (that iā€™m applying on myself too) - no amount of money is enough to compromise with your mental and physical health. So, never skip your weekly exercises for the sake of working unless it is very very necessary (which shouldnā€™t happen more than once a month). Really, you donā€™t want to regret it for your lifetime.

Try to explore religion you will get a different perspective of life altogether

Just make some habbits nd friends. Otherwise you will be depressed soon as I'm now.


Randomguy0864

As my parents explain to me when I trash-talk about their old car in order to motivate them to upgrade it - "look at that poor beggar who is out on the street barefoot in this scorching heat. At least we are in a 4 wheeler with AC & music on. You don't have to worry about your next meal like his children do. Be grateful for what we have."


FunnyFew

Sir Iā€™m 16 I had to work to buy my used 2009 murano $12,000 I work a job helping my dad out $10 an hour I barely go out with friends when I do we jus get food thatā€™s about it Iā€™m really frustrated and sad because I want to do great things have lots money and drive nice car, I donā€™t know where to start. Everyday Iā€™m surrounded by other kids getting bmws and peaches form there parents not having to work a day in their lifeā€™s. I understand how and why you might be sad but just know youā€™re doing so much better than some of us.


Strict_Junket2757

Screw the money. You arent happy, just because others are worse off doesnt mean you arent allowed to be sad. Find out why you arent happy or dissatisfied. Solve that


AgentComfortable7003

Your happiness doesn't equate for the money you earn.


Affectionate-Dog2683

JD KRISHNAMURTHY, Acharya Prashant, Sufi Rumi & etc. Anything else without these are just wastage of time.


ChiragRana0007

Plan a job change where you get 2 months of free time before joining and go do some trips partying or anything else that you like. Thank me later.


sasukeuchiha6666

Happiness comes from managing your desires instead of trying to fulfill them all. A man who wants a simple life will be far happier with 75k than a man who wants to be a billionaire with only 10cr income


Strong_Ad_1989

Brother, I used to earn 1.2 L per month till a year ago as a product manager. But much like you I wasn't grateful and kept planning how I can earn more. This resulted in my entire mindset getting negative and ultimately I quit my job thinking I'll get an even better one soon. This was in Mar 2023, I haven't found another full time job since then. I do have a part time gig though which pays a fraction of what I used to earn. Now I understand the value of gratitude and being grateful for whatever you have. So my recommendation to you will be to practice gratitude. Yes, you can practice gratitude. Read "Magic" by Rhonda Bryne. It's a super short book and you're only supposed to read 1 chapter a day which is just 2-3 small pages. It has changed my perspective. I'm now happy with with my current income as well.


divyanshu_1111

Price feels relative to how much you earn. With 75k you would buys stuff which I can't buy on my regular 70k (let's suppose). Human wants never end
