Good, Bad or….?

https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/india/hyderabad-woman-buys-65-lakh-mini-cooper-thanks-9-to-5-tech-job-for-making-it-possible/ar-AA1RS9Xl?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=6936c4add5704c9394c5b2209328b717&ei=38

Husband & wife together earn about ₹ 90 L @ 45 L each

Working for over 16 years

Dream car purchased 🤔

On road price in Hyd is apparently ₹ 65 L

EMI per month for the next 5 years is about ₹ 90,000/- ….(😳🤔 Equation doesn’t add up, unless a decent down payment is made while.purchasing)

If I take the entire ₹ 90L as the couple’s take home salary (which isn’t), the EMI is @ 10% of their combined salary. Else, it will be in the range of atleast 25% +, mostly (later clarified in the article – it is 1/3 rd of her salary🤷🏼‍♂)

What will be the value of this car in 5 years? from a value perspective

The closing statement from the lady…. it’s a kind of symbol of my journey – Good luck 👍🏼

and continues …..”One thing, whatever happens – I will Not Leave My Job because a job gives me stability & financial independence”

……………

We don’t leave a job, mostly the job leaves us – that’s the ultimate truth 😌

Financial Independence – yes, it comes from Earnings & stability of those earnings make us feel good. But, both earnings & stability can vapourize as fast as camphor

At the end….

We are none to judge anyone’s dream purchase (it’s their earnings & their spend) – just that – we’ve seen too many fall into that materialistic purchase trap way too often.
