In today’s modern world, the pursuit of comfort often surpasses our actual needs. Every dream seems achievable, yet as soon as one is fulfilled, another begins to take its place. For example, a person may start with a moped, then upgrade to a sports bike, move on to a hatchback, then a sedan, and finally aspire to own an SUV. This cycle reflects not genuine necessity but a constant chase for greater comfort and status.
To satisfy these desires, many borrow heavily, stretching themselves to the limit with EMIs and monthly repayments. This leads to mounting financial stress and anxiety, creating a burden that grows day by day. The harsh truth is: who truly plans your life? The answer is you. Yet, many resign themselves to the phrase, “Income is not enough.”
What if, instead of giving in to every temptation, you delayed gratification? While you might miss the immediate pleasure of owning the latest gadget or vehicle, you could save more and lead a happier, more secure life with what you already have. Life is like a seesaw — as your income grows, so do your expectations. This upward spiral often blinds people to the reality that unexpected events — such as medical emergencies or temporary job loss — can and do happen.
The key is to plan wisely and live happily. Accepting that life is unpredictable and preparing for it financially can bring peace of mind. It’s always better to seek expert advice from trusted professionals who can help you create a sustainable financial plan tailored to your goals and realities.
