I am 26 years old and currently have a monthly take-home salary of 1.75 lakh. I grew up in a very poor family, having lost my father when I was just 1 year old. My family survived on my grandfather's pension, which was around 20k by the time I completed my B.Tech three years ago.
Here’s a quick summary of my journey and financial milestones:
Paid off a 5.5 lakh education loan. Repaid approximately 7 lakh to relatives who supported my education. Built a house in my village at a cost of around 8 lakh.
My Current Savings
Stocks: 6.5 lakh Mutual Funds: 10.5 lakh Fixed Deposits: 8 lakh Bank Savings: 1.5 lakh
My Monthly Expenses
Money sent home: 30k Personal expenses (including rent): 35k Mutual Fund investments: 45k Emergency Fund contributions: 60k
You might be wondering that even though I keep 60k per month in Emergency fund, still I have only 1.5 lakh in my Bank account, that's because I used those amount to build my house in my village recently.
While I’m not sure if my savings are good for my age, I take pride in knowing that my efforts have made my mom happy and comfortable. That, to me, is the greatest achievement
These kind of people motivate me, no celebrities, no heroes no sportspersons

Thank you ❤️
This is really good. Congratulations.
Thank you ❤️
Bro this is not about how much you saved. This is all about the people you have made proud of , this is about smiles on your family faces. This is about your dad who had seen a dream of making his son a great person.
And you have done all of that. This is not 26 lakhs it is more than crores and no one in this world can match that.
And Keep going!
Thank you ❤️
