I wanted to pursue engineering. I had scored around 90%, yet I joined a tier-3 college for my B.E. in Computer Science. Even today, I don’t fully know why — whether I failed to filter colleges well, or whether competition was already that brutal. What I do know is that this decision shaped the next decade of my life.</span></p> <div><strong>About this series: </strong>I am grateful to readers for sharing intimate details about their financial lives, which benefits us all.

Now, over to the reader.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><span >As a first-year graduate, my tuition fee was reduced to ₹20,000 per year. That helped — but not enough to make things easy. I still remember visiting Anna University to choose my college, walking past multiple bank stalls, enquiring about education loans like a grown-up long before I actually felt like one. Eventually, I got an education loan from the Central Bank of India and began my journey.</span></p> <p><span >For my parents, spending ₹3,000 a year for our school education was manageable. Professional degrees were different. They were terrifying.</span></p> <p><span >My younger brother joined a near-tier-1 college in 2012 for B.Tech IT. Same dream, same hope — but no first-graduate benefit. His fees were significantly higher, fully loan-funded. Two sons. Two engineering degrees. One household income.</span></p> <p><span >That phase was the hardest.</span></p> <p><span >Both my parents worked as tailors. Every single day, they gave me ₹30 and my brother ₹ 30 for travel. We had yearly local train passes, but from the railway station, we still needed a shared auto or a bus to reach home. That ₹60 a day wasn’t pocket money — it was a sacrifice. I remember it vividly. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.</span></p> <h2><b>First Job, First Salary — and My Biggest Financial Mistake</b></h2> <p><span >In 2014, I joined my first company — a BIOS-related firm — with a salary of ₹3 LPA. It felt unreal. One year later, I tried to close all my parents’ smaller loans. Around the same time, my parents made a decision that most families like ours make when they see their children start earning.</span></p> <p><span >We had a small house in North Chennai, originally bought by my grandfather in the 1960s. My parents wanted to renovate it and add a second floor. Earlier, they had already taken two loans — ₹3 lakhs and ₹5 lakhs — to construct the first floor.</span></p> <p><span >This time, they took a ₹10 lakh loan to renovate both floors.</span></p> <p><span >Financially, this was not a great decision. But I was young, inexperienced, and unaware. I didn’t read the loan documents. I didn’t question the interest rate. A year later, when I finally checked, the ROI was 11.9%. I was shocked — but by then, there was nothing meaningful I could do.</span></p> <p><span >That loan is still running. It will end in 2030.</span></p> <p><span >That mistake quietly rewired my thinking about money forever.</span></p> <h2><b>Career Shifts and Learning to Bet on Myself</b></h2> <p><span >I spent nearly four years as a backend engineer. In 2018, I switched companies with a salary of ₹8.5 LPA. Over time, I worked mostly as a full-stack engineer and later moved internally to a different business unit with a ₹15 LPA package, focusing primarily on cloud technologies.</span></p> <p><span >This was a voluntary shift. Not for money — but to learn.</span></p> <p><span >In hindsight, that decision changed everything.</span></p> <p><span >By 2021, discussions about marriage began at home. I had savings of around ₹15 lakhs. My mother wanted to give 10 sovereigns of gold. I spent all my savings on my marriage. I borrowed ₹2.5 lakhs from a close family friend. I even withdrew ₹55,000 from my first company’s PF.</span></p> <p><span >Financially, it looks reckless on paper.</span></p> <p><span >Emotionally, it was worth everything. I married my wife — and year after year, my love and respect for her only grew stronger. Around the same time, she switched jobs, and her salary grew to ₹7 LPA.</span></p> <p><span >We were building life together — slowly, imperfectly, honestly.</span></p> <h2><b>A Daughter, Two Job Offers, One Clear Choice</b></h2> <p><span >In November 2022, we welcomed our daughter.</span></p> <p><span >At the same time, I was searching for a new job.</span></p> <p><span >In December, I received two offers:</span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span >A Bangalore startup at ₹33 LPA</span><span > <p></span></li> <li aria-level="1"><span >A Chennai-based company at ₹38 LPA (excluding stocks)</span><span > <p></span></li> </ul> <p><span >Comfort mattered. Family mattered. Chennai mattered.</span></p> <p><span >I chose the second offer.</span></p> <p><span >I went all-in on the cloud, worked harder than ever, and took on more responsibility.</span></p> <h2><b>The AI Boom — and Being Ready When Luck Arrived</b></h2> <p><span >When the AI wave hit, my company needed engineers who understood the intersection of cloud and AI. I was ready — not because I predicted the boom, but because I had invested years in fundamentals.</span></p> <p><span >I was fortunate to have a manager who trusted me and gave me meaningful, high-impact work. That trust changed my trajectory.</span></p> <p><span >Today, my salary is ₹53 LPA (excluding stock options).</span></p> <h2><b>Fixing My Relationship With Money (Slowly)</b></h2> <p><span >That old 11.9% loan still runs. I pay the EMI every month. I haven’t aggressively prepaid it — but it gave me a powerful rule:</span></p> <p><span >I will never take a long-tenure EMI lightly again.</span></p> <p>This was the only loan that was still running, and I closed my education loan.</p> <p><span >After marriage, I started consciously stabilising my finances. That’s when I discovered Vijay Mohan’s YouTube videos. His explanation of the four stages of financial life — Accumulation, Growth, Independence, Abundance — resonated deeply.</span></p> <p><span >So did the idea of delayed gratification.</span></p> <p><span >We still live in a ₹20,000 rented house, the same one I moved into in 2021 before marriage. In 2023, instead of buying a new car, I bought a second-hand Honda Amaze from Spinny. Partly for financial sense, partly because I wanted to learn to drive without stress.</span></p> <p><span >No lifestyle inflation. No urgency to “look successful”.</span></p> <h2><b>Where I Stand Today</b></h2> <p><span >As of now, my portfolio is roughly ₹1.03 crore:</span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span >Mutual Funds: ₹51 lakhs</span><span ><br /> </span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="2"><span >95% in a single Flexi-cap fund</span><span ><br /> </span></li> <li aria-level="2"><span >XIRR: ~15%</span><span ><br /> </span></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1"><span >ESOPs: ₹15 lakhs</span><span ><br /> </span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="2"><span >XIRR: –15%</span><span ><br /> </span></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1"><span >PF: ₹19 lakhs</span><span ><br /> </span></li> <li aria-level="1"><span >PPF: ₹2 lakhs</span><span ><br /> </span></li> </ul> <p><span >My wife’s savings:</span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span >Mutual Funds: ₹16 lakhs</span><span ><br /> </span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="2"><span >100% in a single Multi-cap fund</span><span ><br /> </span></li> <li aria-level="2"><span >XIRR: ~13%</span><span ><br /> </span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2><b>Closing Thoughts</b></h2> <p><span >This isn’t a story about becoming rich overnight.</span></p> <p><span >It’s about parents who stretched ₹60 a day,</span><span ><br /> </span><span > about loans taken without understanding,</span><span ><br /> </span><span > about learning the hard way,</span><span ><br /> </span><span > and about quiet consistency, beating loud ambition.</span></p> <p><span >If you’re reading this while worrying about fees, EMIs, or whether you’re “too late” — you’re not. </span><span >Sometimes, the journey doesn’t look impressive while you’re walking it. </span><span >Only when you turn around do you realise how far you’ve come.</span></p> <h2>Reader stories published earlier:</h2> <p>As regular readers may know, we publish a personal financial audit each December – this is the 2024 edition: <a href="https://freefincal.com/portfolio-audit-2024-the-annual-review-of-my-goal-based-investments/">Portfolio Audit 2024: The Annual Review of My Goal-Based Investments</a>.
