Failed Startup and debt

Despite my considerable efforts, I have unfortunately failed at building my startup. I have lost all my savings and incurred a substantial debt from friends and family, amounting to close to 50 lakhs. Additionally, there are credit card debts that have adversely affected my CIBIL score.

At age of 29, I have transitioned to a full-time job again that pays 30 lakhs per annum. Navigating through this challenging financial situation seems impossible. Any advice on how to manage this.

Maybe just focus on your work and clear the debt first?

Focus on clearing credit card debt, Followed by loans from FnF. Try jumping jobs in 1 year (if possible) to increase your CTC. Slowly start investing in some of the other assets.

There’s always a way to re build. At last, do not lose hope. :)

12LPA @27 Years. Am I a failure.

12lpa @ 27 yrs age. Is it too low for this age. I see most people here reach 30+ ctc by this age and get multiple marriage offers also. I feel ashamed now, i think marriage also less chance.

Do you have any regrets?

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.
