After securing admission into a Tier 1 college purely through hard work, he landed his first internship at Rs 18,000 per month, later jumping to Rs 40,000. By July 2023, he was earning Rs 15 LPA, all while navigating life alone in Bengaluru.The biggest milestone came as he said: 'Bought my first home this month (yes, savings are gone and there's a loan — but it's mine).' He also shared that he now owns a MacBook, iPhone, and PS5 — things he once only dreamt of — and continues to enjoy treks, side hustles, and hobbies.Currently working remotely as an SDE-2 at a 'real chill company' earning Rs 24 LPA, the young man said that he isn't done yet. 'Next goal: Make my income Rs 50 LPA (start a business) by the end of this year,' he concluded.See the post here:
In the comments section of the post, several users congratulated the man for his accomplishments, while some offered advice."Congratulations! But remember, you don't need to do everything at once. Always save money when you have enough, then move on to the next goal. Also, buy health insurance for yourself and your family members. Start your life insurance early. If you begin soon, you can easily get coverage of over Rs 1 crore,' a user said.Another added, 'You're doing really well for yourself, and I'm in no position to tell you what to do — but just a piece of advice: now that you've got a house, consider focusing on building more financial security. That way, you can continue with your plans and repay your debts without interruption, even if you were to suddenly lose your job in this era of frequent layoffs. Once the loans are cleared, and you have some cushion, you can always redo the house the way you want."- EndsMust Watch
