The challenge is the time and efforts required to identify if the train is wrong or not

Software Test - QA

And there is an Indian saying that, "Sometimes wrong train takes you to the right station."

This is a good one, and it applies to all aspects of life - marriage, career and relationships (friends, social circle etc)

Associate Engineer

This doesn't matter if you get on the Pune Metro, you can just hop onto the reverse train and get back to your station, provided you do not exit from the wrong station :)

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have observed this( at least with my self) that whatever goals you set for your self ( X salary, Y net worth etc etc.) once you're there it becomes ordinary extremely fast and it starts feeling normal again and on you go towards the next milestone.
I was wondering when does this end? Do any of you have reached a point where you don't have the lust for more? You're happy with what you have? 
Did you do something actively to make that mindset? Or were you a "satisfied with what you have" kind of a person all your life?

How do you fight the consistent dissatisfaction?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have a female coworker of mine with whom I have become very good friends with. We talk a lot during office hours. I feel very happy around her and i am able to express myself the most in front of her. I keep thinking about her all the time, even when i am at home, during weekends. However i feel that she only thinks of me as a friend and nothing more. This is based on signals i picked up during various instances, conversations we had. This thing breaks my heart. Also since I dont have a friend group as such to make weekend plans with, i mostly keep thinking about this during weekends sitting at home and this shit has been hurting me a lot. Seeing my other friends insta stories is a final bullet which further pushes me into depression. Sometimes i just feel like being open about this in front of her but then this could take a very bad turn if things dont work out in a happy way. I also cannot completely avoid her since we are in the same team and same project. 

Can someone please help with how to deal with this?

Crush on my teammate is affecting my productivity

First of all uninstall instagram. I have done it and it helped with my social anxiety.

Man, my work is completely work from home and all my colleagues are in different parts of the world. So I was just wondering if there is anything to make friends IRL online.

Hi, I’ve been feeling a lot overwhelmed lately and haven’t been able to cry (watching Tamasha on the week didn’t work either). I wanna know when and why the last time you broke down.

When was the last time you broke down?

Product Owner

Actually alive will be kind of negative word.. so recently I survived a very big car accident, I was driving and my papa was along with me, so one a turn car topple and it bounced upside down breking driver side mirror from which we both could come out instantly.. hopefully both of us didn't have any major injuries but had some minor scratches and so bit of bleeding..

That day..I was just thinking about not having injuries only.. but yesterday just a thought came in my mind..while watching a south fighting movie.. what if anyone of us or papa had any injuries.. because we have 3 mirrors in the front.. anyone going right into the chest could have killed us in seconds.. and thinking about this thought.. I couldn't move from that place for 3-4 hours and stopped that movie too..

Maybe something is left in my life journey..so I am still alive and maybe I am lucky to be able to spend some more time in my parents so papa is still with us.. I am atheist and have never been in any temple.. contrary to my parents behaviour..who are so religious.. may be, I am because of their prayers in all the Life..

Thank you life... for the second opportunity.🤞🙌🫡

Overjoyed to have my father alive this Father's Day.

I’ve noticed different people have different ways to approach their financial planning. 
Hoping to learn from each other and perhaps help others who read as well.

What is one personal finance habit that has changed your life?

If you 'want' to buy something, wait day or two (I wait a week) to know if my heart is still stuck at it. Generally (mostly) it is fleeting craving and I end up not buying.  
  
 This has kept my expenses very minimum

Founder’s Office

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Last week, there were overlap of plans and I got an hour or so alone.
I had earlier thought it wouldn't be much of issue, until I realized how loud thoughts are. 

Internet was also wobbly so couldn't scroll social media to avoid world

P.S. I am talking about being alone not loneliness

When was the last time you were alone with your thoughts?

Worst part is not able to stop thinking about it, yet doing nothing towards completing it till the 11th hour

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

For some ps5 is not about price, it's about their dream to buy since college days (many ppl I know bought it) and same goes for other stuff as well.

How will they know about your finances in case anything unfortunate (god forbid) happens to you ?

Do your parents/partner know about your investments/debts ?

At the risk of sounding weak, this has become more and more rampant with me.

It feels as if I am living someone's elses life.

Somedays I just feel like living a life thats pointless. These are the days when I feel very prone to these emotional impulses of sudden "lonlinesss" (despite having few of the most amazing people in my life) or "emptiness" or "anti-gratitude/self-destruction". So much mental lethargy behing these useless chain of thoughts.

Am I the only one? Have I lost it? Am I sensitive? Is it a bad thing? Am I overworked? Am I too critical about my thoughts? 

Man this is so confounding.

How to control sudden outbursts of emotional anxiety ?

Data engineer

I get a lot of work and sometimes I forget about everything else.

Does anyone relate to this while working everyday?

2 years ago my mom left me as if I was not needed. She always had in mind that her son is everything. I felt so bad and I used to talk less with her . But I used to always cry about why I am not needed. 

Today my mom is no more and I feel so bad that I couldn't do much 😭.

Help me to come out from this.

Thought for the day 🎯

This should include everything from home bills, entertainment, medical expenses, trips etc. When I was single (back in 2016), my expenses were around 20k per month.

Now I easily go above 1L every month (without rent, we live in our own house). My wife also works and she has her expenses too.

Not sure what’s the reason for it though. We live frugally and don’t spend lavishly (atleast I don’t think we do). I barely buy anything for myself (I use 1k earphones and buy clothes from decathalon). My wife is the same.

Is this common when you get married? That your expenses permanently increase? Or is there something I should be worried about? TIA

Married folks, what’s your average monthly expenses?

20 K + 20 K in 2016 -> approx 35 K + 35 K = 70 K (assuming 7% inflation over 8 years). 
  
 Extra 30 K can be attributed to your lifestyle increase, going out more often , more food ordering , better furniture, gym, medicines, insurance premiums , vehicle purchase, and maintenance if not included etc.

Growth Manager

Every day and night

Hey all, I’m 29, Marketing and Growth Guy. Making 2.5L/Month (In Hand). And some side income of 50k-1L. 

I’m an expert in taking the startups in their journey of 0-1. 

However, every night it haunts me that in some years, I’ll be irrelevant because of younger generations taking up the positions or if not irrelevant, I’ll be costly for 0-1 startups.

In fact, even now, most of the high growth startups don’t hire me saying I don’t have experience of handling massive budgets. 

Can’t go into corporate after working for 8 years in startups. 

I’m investing and saving a lot. But that won’t be enough. Not looking to start my own business. Been there done that. Didn’t work out. 

So what are your plans? Or if you have any suggestions for me?

How does the future look like for 0-1 Guy.

It's our 4th date and I am literally running out of content !

Every other day, I think about it
