  Five Steps That Will Make You Financially Poor (if you keep doing them) Photo by  Michelen Studios  on  Unsplash You know, money… it’s such a weird thing. Some people chase it all their life, some people act like they don’t care about it, and some just never learn how to hold onto it even when they have it. I used to be that last one. Money would come into my hands, and poof ... gone before the month ends. I used to think I was just unlucky, but no, it wasn’t bad luck. It was bad habits. There are small things we do every day that slowly push us toward being broke — not just broke in wallet, but broke in mindset, broke in planning, broke in peace. And you know what’s worse? Most of us don’t even realize we’re doing them. So, I thought today, I’ll write a little honest blog. Not to shame anyone, not to sound like a finance guru, but just to talk like a friend — about the five steps that will make you financially poor if you’re not careful. Step 1: Spending mon...

Five Steps That Will Make You Financially Poor Photo by Michelen Studios on Unsplash Let’s be honest. Nobody wake up one morning saying, “yeah I wanna be broke forever.” But somehow, so many of us end up living paycheck to paycheck, waiting for salary day like it’s a rescue ship. I been there too. I know that weird mix of embarrassment and confusion — when you ask yourself, “where my money go?” even though you just got paid last week. This blog, I don’t wanna make it sound like one of those self-help gurus telling you to manifest millions or cut off your morning coffee. Nah. This is real talk. About the five step (yeah, just five) that slowly, quietly, secretly make you financially poor. The kind of things we all do without noticing. And I ain’t saying it from some rich guy perspective. I’m writing this from the small messy desk where I still manage bills, chase deadlines, and sometimes count coins for tea. But you know, truth sound better when it’s not polished. So here we go. ...

🌱 A Little Dream with a Little Money Photo by Ibrahim Rifath on Unsplash You know, people think you need a lot of money to start something big. But I don’t think so. Sometimes, what you really need isn’t money—it’s guts. The kind that whispers, “Let’s just try.” I started thinking about business when I was broke, like really broke. Not the fun kind of broke where you still have Netflix, but the kind where you count coins for bus fare. One evening, sitting in my small rented room, I was like, “Man, I can’t do this job forever.” Salary was low, boss was shouting, and I had dreams bigger than my wallet. Then the thought came—what if I start something small, just my own thing? I had 10,000 rupees saved (barely), and I said okay, let’s risk it. That’s where everything started to change slowly. 💡 Step 1: Start with What You Know, Not What’s Fancy You don’t need to invent something brand new. You just gotta look around your life and see what you already know. What you’re good at. Wh...

  How to Save Money When Your Salary is Low — A Real Life Talk Photo by Blake Wisz on Unsplash You know, saving money when you already don’t have much feels like trying to squeeze juice out of a dry lemon. You press and press, but not a single drop comes out. I been there. Many times. Salary so small that it almost disappear before the month even start. You sit with calculator, making promise to yourself, “this month I’ll save something.” And then life just smiles and throw a new bill in your face. But here’s the thing — it’s possible. Not easy, no magic trick, but possible. I learned that money saving not always about how much you earn, but how you move around with it. It’s like dancing on a floor full of broken glass — careful steps, slow rhythm, but you still make it across. When I Was Broke But Still Dreaming Let me tell you something small from my own life. Few years ago, I was earning just enough to buy some rice, pay rent in a room smaller than a wardrobe, and keep my ...

How to make millions before 40 of age, When Money Starts to Mean Something Photo by  Christian Velitchkov  on  Unsplash Most people start thinking about money seriously somewhere between the late teens and mid-20s. Before that, money’s just numbers your parents talk about when bills arrive. But then life slaps you with rent, phone bills, and Netflix subscriptions, and suddenly the phrase “financial freedom” sounds like the sweetest thing ever invented. For me, that spark came when I was 22. I was broke but curious, which, honestly, is the best kind of broke. I used to scroll through success stories online while eating butter toast that was sometimes just toast because I couldn’t afford butter. I’d read about people building apps, selling handmade jewelry, flipping old sneakers. Something clicked — not in a movie-style “Eureka!” way, but like a slow-burning candle flickering to life. And maybe that’s how it starts for everyone. A little spark. A restless itch in your...

How To Make Money In Young Age Photo by Christian Velitchkov on Unsplash I still remember the smell of cheap instant coffee I used to drink in the corner of my tiny study table — it had this weird burnt plastic kind of aroma, but somehow it made me feel like I was doing something serious, something “grown-up.” I was sixteen, broke, and mad at the world because everything cost money. I wanted sneakers, gadgets, even just a burger at that new place down the street. But my wallet? Always empty. Funny thing, I didn’t want to ask my parents. It wasn’t pride exactly, just this fire in my stomach that said “You gotta earn it yourself.” Maybe that’s how it starts for most of us — that small itch of independence, you know? You just wanna prove you can do it. 1. The First Spark — The Idea That You Can Actually Earn When you’re young, the idea of making money feels like some distant dream. Like, adults do that. Taxes, paychecks, bank accounts — sounds boring, right? But then you see some 17...
