I think you have already made your mind with what you wanna do. I don't know your gender, but I Will tell you something about myself. I am a guy who is same age as you. I am mature enough to take think about things from brain and not from egoistic, self defense side. So, my brain says life is about being happy, enjoying and being spiritual. And the way to happiness is (in this order) :

My family being happy
Money A vision for the world Some professional meaningful life

So, most important is my wife, children and parents being happy. If that is done, then I will run behind money. If that is also done, I will run behind doing something for my locality, society and world. After achieving that as well, I will prioritise making my name in my profession. Until the first 3 things are achieved I would focus on my job enough to achieve the 3 points. But not so much that I miss on first 3 points.

So, right now my package is in 7 digits. But I feel I want to give my wife and parents more facilities. So I am trying to switch to get more package. As soon as I get good package I will marry a good, sweet, nice girl who has etiquettes, is soft spoken, has manners, has religious and spiritual schedule, is humble, loves her parents, respects his dad and mom equally, knows when to be dominant and fight with people, and when to be submissive and listen to advises.

And just next day I would leave for a good trip because that is happiness to me. And honestly I think as a man, we only need these qualities.
I can cook for her I am fine with it, I will listen to her long stories. All I wanna do is that I spoil her with love and care and she spoils me with all the attention and love when I come back to home from office.

I also imagine of pressing her feet in night because she would get tired after whole day. And I don't need an MBA degree for this happiness. I just need a good wife, some money, and a grace of God. @Samisideup All the best for your journey in life.

Do the MBA first, find your life partner in campus only, both problems solved 👍

I don't know whether it's correct or not, but our Life expectancy is currently 60+, crossing 25+ means that we have already spent 50% of our active life, after 25 you need to be with someone and you need to build a family for greater well-being. If you want to have kids after 30 that would be tiresome as you will be at 60 when your kid becomes 25+. So you Just think that a career is important but a good career may not promise you a better future in the long-run, but a better family helps you or supports you to go ahead above the expectations

So… any plans for marriage?

^That’s my parents’ new favorite question, like I can just slot it between investor meetings and product launches.

And yeah, they’re not wrong. By the time I’m ready, I’ll need to have found someone. You can’t just fast-forward to a r...
