Now, over to the reader.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>From a Dry Village in Tamil Nadu to Financial Stability at 34: My Journey of Struggle, Survival & Slow Growth</p> <p>At 34 (in 2025), when I look back at my life, I don’t see just years — I see struggle, sacrifice, survival, and a deep hunger for stability. This is the story of a boy from a rain‑dependent farming village who walked miles for education, failed products, empty stomachs, missed opportunities, and yet kept moving forward.</p> <p>Growing Up in a Farmer’s Home: My Father’s Sacrifice</p> <p>I was born into a lower‑middle‑class farming family in a dry part of Tamil Nadu — a place Tamil comedian Vivek jokingly described as “வானம் பார்த்த பூமி”.</p> <p>In 1990, my father made a life‑changing decision:</p> <p>He left his government job to take care of our agricultural land. While all my uncles settled in government jobs or the Gulf countries, my father chose farming.</p> <p>In 1996, he bought a tractor and has been farming 20 acres ever since — even today at age 63.</p> <p>But farming in our area is a gamble. Rain is the only irrigation source. Many days we struggled for even three meals — often surviving on kanchi and pickle.</p> <p>My father regretted his decision to leave the secure job. That regret shaped his advice:</p> <p>“You should never come to the field. Study well. Whatever money needed for school, I will give.”</p> <p>I studied hard, but being a village topper doesn’t make you a city topper. Still, I kept trying.</p> <p>College Life & the Harsh Reality</p> <p>I got into a good engineering college, performed well, and missed a distinction by just 1% — mainly because of low lab marks from asking too many questions.</p> <p>But there were no campus placements.</p> <p>I had marks, but not enough engineering skill. What I did have was a deep love for electronics.</p> <p>Unfortunately, my father got his first heart attack while ploughing the land in my college’s first year.</p> <p>First Job: Bengaluru Struggle Years (₹5,000/Month)</p> <p>My cousin offered me my first embedded role in his startup:</p> <p>Salary: ₹5,000 → ₹7,000 after 3 years<br /> Shared room rent: ₹6,000 total split with friends<br /> Walking 8 km daily to the office<br /> Eating two meals a day to survive</p> <p>I couldn’t visit home for 3 years — not because I didn’t want to, but because I simply didn’t have money.</p> <p>Eventually, the product failed. My father wanted me to go to China (where my brother‑in‑law offered ₹50,000 salary) or to the Gulf, like many from our village.</p> <p>But then came the moment that broke me —</p> <p>My mother called crying, saying she would send ₹1,000 so I could visit home after 3 long years.</p> <p>That call pushed me to change everything.</p> <p>Breaking Out: New Job & New Cities</p> <p>I attended interviews, got a ₹25,000/month job in Chennai, and then moved to:</p> <p>Hyderabad<br /> Coimbatore<br /> And finally returned to Bengaluru, where I’m now settled</p> <p>These experiences taught me one thing:</p> <p>The value of 1 paise.</p> <p>After earning 25k, I kept sending ₹10,000–₹30,000 back home depending on the farming situation, and sometimes they won’t ask for 6 months if there are good returns from farming.</p> <p>My Insurance Foundation</p> <p>I built my basics right:</p> <p>Health Insurance</p> <p>Corporate: ₹5L family + ₹3L for parents (Father is a heart patient)<br /> Personal: ₹10L family floater + ₹90L super top‑up (Niva Bupa)</p> <p>Term Insurance</p> <p>Corporate: ₹1.1 Cr<br /> Personal: ₹1 Cr (Max Life)</p> <p>Accidental Insurance</p> <p>Corporate: ₹37.5L</p> <p>Debt, Support & Early Investments</p> <p>Took ₹2.2L education loan, cleared ₹4.2L by 2018<br /> Supported father with ₹10L for house construction (till 2020)<br /> Started investing in large‑cap stocks in 2020</p> <p>Portfolio grew from ₹2L → ₹4L<br /> But I redeemed everything for marriage expenses<br /> Biggest mistake: selling stocks, not the marriage!</p> <p>Marriage & Reset (2021)</p> <p>Got married in Jan 2021 — spent ₹10L including gold.<br /> After everything, I was back to zero, except for a ₹2L FD.<br /> Started again — equity + mutual funds. No goals. No plans. Only wealth creation.</p> <p>Fatherhood & Realization</p> <p>First daughter: Feb 2022<br /> Second daughter: March 2025</p> <p>Until then, I was not a goal‑based investor.</p> <p>My second daughter’s birth gave me clarity:</p> <p>I needed a plan.</p> <p>Building Passive Income for My Wife</p> <p>My wife doesn’t prefer to work — and that’s absolutely fine with me. She came up with a great idea:</p> <p>Construct two shops on the land she inherited in Trivandrum.</p> <p>My contribution: ₹8L<br /> Her parents: ₹5L<br /> Result: ₹18,000/month passive income for her</p> <p>Because of this, I paused investment for 2022 – mid 2024.</p> <p>Yes, I missed the bull market.</p> <p>But family comes first.</p> <p>Restarting the Wealth Journey (2023–2025)</p> <p>SGB: 32 grams<br /> PPF: Started 2023 (₹1.5L/year)<br /> Emergency fund: 1 year of expenses<br /> Asset allocation (2025):</p> <p>50% Equity<br /> 50% Fixed income</p> <p>In April 2025, I bought Pattu Sir’s <a href="https://freefincal.com/robo-advisory-software/">Goal‑Based Robo Advisory</a>.</p> <p>Not surprising — I’ve followed him since 2021. His sheet gave me confidence and structure.</p> <p>I also follow Ashal Sir’s Asan ideas — simple and powerful.</p> <p>Career Path</p> <p>Since I work in a Tier‑1 automotive embedded company, there are no ESOPs.</p> <p>My only way to grow was:</p> <p>Switch jobs every 2 years.</p> <p>Now I’m into automotive cybersecurity, which added strong value to my profile.</p> <p>Wherever I go, I get good appreciation for my work.</p> <p>A readers salary hike year on year</p> <figure id="attachment_330008" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-330008" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a
