Complex Adulting

A very close friend called me up on Sunday. He is earning around 30L at age 24. From his voice, I sensed there was something wrong. He told me he is confused. 30L is not sufficient and he added even if he is getting 60L that also won't help because responsibilities keep piling on. He is trying to find an answer to this very complex question

I have another very close friend earning 1.5 Cr at age 23. He also rambles on with the same thing.

I on the other hand started with a modest salary then started a business with a real world problem, kept the shop running for 1.5 years. Had to shut down. But the learning and the joy of following my heart cannot be compared. I don't earn much now Compared to both my friends and in between jobs. But the same question does cross my mind too frequently.

What are your thoughts? How do you feel about that?

You and both of your friends will make it, Just don't think too far off in life a lot, think of stuff that you can do/accomplish in next 2-3 yrs. Growth is exponential.

Feeling weird

My friend just got an offer for 32LPA + ESOPS. Which is great, i am really happy!

But we both started at the same time in the same field, and i am at 18LPA no ESOPS, this difference feels a bit weird.

Does that happen with everyone?...

If you earn 20+ LPA, what do you spend on?

Recently started earning and honestly living a comfortable life with a much lower salary than most people talk about. Doing the math, I don't see myself needing more than 18L-24L in hand to save and continue living comfortable (but I am ...

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.

18 LPA in hand as 25 years old.

Hey

I am not sure if I am earning enough. While I am free to live my life on my terms (family has decent bread earners and donโ€™t have to send money back home) but still feel that I may be behind.

Am I doing good?
