This motivates me everyday from Delhi to Gurgaon.- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am originally from a small town and did my BSc in Computer Science. My relatives and neighbours used to say that I am a good for nothing freeloader who is a "nikamma" - unemployed. It was very hard to find a job back then and I used to have deep anxiety about it. My only dream was to get my fathers appreciation. He is my biggest hero. 

So I started preparing very hard and practiced my skills. The only one who supported me was my mother who used to give me tea even at 3 in the morning while I used to study. Even my own father gave up on me and from time to time he used to say that if you are living under my roof then you have to follow my rules. He also used to say that look at the neighbour's ladka who got a government job and he asked me to prepare for Bank PO.

So I moved out from my town and shifted to Gurgaon where I got a small PG with some money that my mother had given me. I also started freelancing on Fiverr and which led me to improve my communication skills. Finally, when I got my Google offer letter I felt like I made it. It was the best response to all the taunts by people around me. 

I suddenly became a superstar in my town with people congratulating my parents. I bought my mother gold bangles and dad a new watch with my first salary. I was looking at my offer letter today and it reminded me of all the hardwork I did to achieve this moment.

This is the story of my life. In case anyone needs help. I am ready to provide support to aspirants here as a way to give back.

Family said I am good for nothing but I finally I got an offer from Google

This is what 100% of Indian men want to achieve since their childhood. Jewellery for Mom and Watch/Car for Dad. It is an appreciation for all the hard work they put in to help us succeed in life.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

like what do you want to achieve, what is your goal?

Why do you want to earn so much money(be rich)?

I just want to be debt-free, and feel like I can take a holiday once in a while, without worrying too much about how it could cripple me financially. 
  
 No tall ambitions, just want to have a happy life where money is not something I worry about on an ongoing basis.

What's the top 3 things in your Bucket list?

- Lap the Nordschleife 
 - 15 days in Iceland with my brother(inspired from the secret life of Walter Mitty) 
 - Do the Ironman triathlon

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Is it just me or every one day dreams ?
What do you dream about?

Men of grapevine, what do you day dream about?

Backend Engineer

If today was supposed to be your last day, what is the first thing you'd do

Hug my dad tight, mom, and also elder brother with whom I usually don't get along quite well. 
  
 Create a list of all my bank/investment details and hand it over to dad. 
  
 Meet close friends, special one and that's pretty much it.

What are you earning for ? Is it concrete or something vague that one day you will need this amount or something? Is it more than you or your family needs?

Or are you just a sheep like me ?

Do you know what you are earning for ?

What are you earning for ? 
  
 To meet existing cost of living, 
 have runway for 5+ years, 
 medical emergency fund, 
 house, 
 car, and 
 seed fund for my business. 
  
 Is it concrete or something vague that one day you will need this amount or something? 
  
 Targets are known and quantifiable. So, yes, concrete at the moment. 
  
 Is it more than you or your family needs? 
  
 Not really. 
  
 At the current pace, it will take numerous years before I meet my current targets. 
  
 Or are you just a sheep like me ? 
  
 You are not a sheep. 
  
 You are a hero, waking up each morning, doing something productive and adding their bit to the world.

Growth And Strategy

I am 26 years old and just reached 75 lakhs net worth and 0 loans. I have a 15 lakh car which I paid in cash for. I also recently got a job that will increase this significantly in the next 2 years with more than 80 LPA CTC.

But I don't know what to do with this money. Yes I have invested a lot but I don't feel like buying a house or anything. It feels like money is increasing but what's the point. I already live a happy life living in a rented 1 BHK in a good society. Should I buy a house just for the sake of buying it?

75 lakhs NW 26 YO

What should I do to reach 100 cr in 10-15 years?

I'm an ambitious person who can work his ass off. But I lack direction, I don't know what I should do to get there.

Any answer can give me a better perspective. But please refrain from questioning the ambition.

I'm in tech and I make 22 lacs/year (4 years of exp)

My current portfolio split up:
6 lacs - Nifty 50 MF
5 lacs - FD
10-20 lacs - real estate

20 lacs to 100 crores

1. Wake up at 4am 
 2. Plan the day ahead by brainstorming new ideas for profitability 
 3. Go to gym, invest in your body 
 4. Reach out to your customers before your morning coffee, helps set the tone for the day. 
 5. Rob a bank 
 6. Repeat till you reach your target of 100 crores.

Hey community 

Been working in corporate for 3 years since college and reached 50L. Hope to reach 1 Cr in 5 years and 5 Cr in 10 years 

Fingers crossed. All the best to all of you too

Reached 50L net-worth today

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Just trying to understand the purpose or the motive of the people on GV that keeps you going by pushing yourself. 
I'm sure we've all been through a phase where this feels pointless, but still we keep at it.

What keeps you going, in this race?

There’s never been a better time to be a DINK, according to Business Insider.

In our death beds it's not the bank balance that would give us joy but the core memories that we made makes us feel we lived a great life. At the end that's important 
  
 If you are compensating for your choice of not having kids through other core memories like traveling or other experiences then go for it. Optimising not having kids only for saving money is a dangerous thing. As I get older I realise that joy comes from giving and not from accumulation.

Investor

What motivates you to wake up everyday?

Being anonymous gives me a safe space. But life is getting tougher than ever each day.  
I wish I had a better paying job. I wish I had time to have slow mornings. 
I wish I could provide for my family and give them the things they much deserve. 

I wish I had a chance to rewire rewind and restart. 

I wish I could do more than I wish to do. 

It's all wishes guys . It's all hopes. .
Nothing seems fulfilling. Nothing seems to make me happy. 

I have forgotten what carefree days were like. 

Adulting is kinda hitting hard. I am not able to cope up. 
Can someone relate?

It's hard to manage work and life

Is it a number that gives you freedom? Security? Or just peace of mind?

IMHO Once I reach 2Cr/annum I would feel like I have made it.
