A letter to DINK couple

Following wester consumerism blindly is the reason when most DINK couple decides not to have kids. The age old colonial term of "civilising the brown is white man's responsiblity". Let me burst this bubble of ever happy life and not having dependency of kids,they are not investment,etc etc. I wont highlight if its right or wrong here for it lots of post are there. I better highlight what will happen after next 20 30 years as I can learn from west(USA) lifestyle pattern. All these people have kept most of their money in *paper* assets like PF,Bank FD,stocks. Reason for highlighting the word paper will see. As the number of oldies will increase over youngsters. Govt will need more youngsters as economy is worked upon by them. No loan takers,no new consumers. What will happen stock prices will fall,same goes for bank interest ,in worst case you wont be ablw to withdraw your principal even(happening in australia, people have to inform why they are withdarwing cash to bankers). Next for pf: when ww contribute to PF we pay foe the payback of current retired generation or basically we are paying their debt. But due to lack of youngster no one will pay your debt so forget your PF as well. This is how your money bubble of Crores will vanish. There is a term debt to gdp ratio, ever heard? Its the debt taken by govt from future generations to develop current lifestyle. Hence still govt need people to sustain and payback that debt so they will allow illegal immigrants ( what you are seeing in USA and Europe in name of "multicultralism"). And you know what? These rowdy immigrants will fill your city and you will become second class citizen why cause its democracy and majority rules. Noone will protect you leave alone police actually there is no one "left" to protect you( read statements of Canadian police regarding car thefts you will find similarities). Still oldies are there so new experimentation on assisted suicides(Canada is leading the way in current timeframe).

Most of the millenials and genz folks working in tech in India would face recession for the first time

Here is the way it happens Fed in USA will increase interest rates to tame inflation. VCs will have to generate greater returns, because USA bonds give better return than most of the bets they’re going to make. Half of the portfolio companies of normie VCs will go under. All the limited partners who put in the money into VCs pocket to invest, will start drying up. They'll question every investment the VC makes, so ofc they will become risk averse. So VCs will force their companies to become profitable, cut down cost in every way possible. Startups will end up firing 20-30 per of the workforce, its do or die for them. Now, what can you do? 1/ have buffer amount in fixed deposits (5-6 mos of your expenses), amount you can liquidate easily 2/ now is the time to work hard and prove your worth, be the top performer in team. For the first time in 5y, hiring and retaining equation is in employers favor 3/ cut down on buying any assets which are not going to appreciate (esp the ones you’re buying on Emi) 4/ upskill yourself 5/ if possible get a pvt healthcare insurance for you and your loved ones, don't depend on corporate insurance. Remember, USA’s recession is world’s recession. Only question is how the cards are going to fall, together all at once or one by one. Brace up, next 9 mos are going to be the most difficult times you’ve seen in tech in last 2 decades. Godspeed. ps: sector i would stay away from india perspective- edtech for now
