First Milestone - Hope many more to go
Posting here not for bragging but to just let people like me know who look at extraordinary salaries and feel sad - it is possible just believe in yourself. I never thought I’d reach even this.
4.5 years of workex in a non-tech role, started with 35,000 monthly salary.
I know this number might not mean anything to the FAANG tech bros out there but for the rest here is a bit of context -
- I come from a middle class background
- Not from Tier 1 college
- Not a software developer
- No MBA as of now
- This doesn’t contain any inheritance
- Send some money home every month for parents
Dont get overwhelmed, just keep your head down and don’t compare to anyone. I try to keep a strict budget, track every transactions, limit my needs but once a while splurge slightly when I feel like.
See you all at the next milestone! 🍻

Very nice. It is great to see people post their investing stories.
Tip: I feel a Google Sheets doc looks a little less professional so, just like yesterday a ss from a broking platform.
Point taken. The thing is I’m struggling to find a platform that consolidates all my investments- including PPF and FDs and give me an overall picture. Plus I invest most of the Debt component in my mother’s name for Tax purposes hence need to maintain a google sheet for consolidation
What, a spreadsheet is the best way of collecting everything. Just add some stock formulas for live data. Graphs to make it pretty if you will.
All other "apps" that do this are a spreadsheet in one way or another lol
You are doing a monthly sip for 1.3 lakh? This with a 9-5 job? It's insane! Can you share your journey?
Hope u are living life just as much as u seem fixated on investing. U definitely got a good raise sometime after that 35k₹ monthly or u did some part time to keep investing regularly that much. Anyway, good for u but know that u r lucky to have so much capital remaining for doing such regular high investments
Thank you. Yes I live a decent life - live with friends, go on dates with girlfriend, eat out at decent places and dress decently. Just I try to follow a strict budget and don’t chase brands or materialistic things much.
Hey @Sourmask , Just a question, how much % of your income do you direct to investments(SIPs, FDs etc)?
These post are more encouraging than those ads.
Keep it coming folks.
Super stuff! Congratulations. You've got this!
Awesome !
