โ€œEMI toh 25 saal tak bharni padegi.โ€

Thatโ€™s what I was told when I signed up for a โ‚น45L home loan in 2017. But I had other plans.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น:
Pay off my 25-year home loan in under a decade. Why? Because I didnโ€™t want to spend half my life in debt.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜†:
โœ… Took a โ‚น45L loan @ 8.5% interest, EMI โ‚น38K/month
โœ… Paid โ‚น10Kโ€“โ‚น15K extra every month as part-prepayment
โœ… Used annual bonuses + tax refunds to make lump sum payments
โœ… Avoided lifestyle inflation even as income grew
โœ… Tracked interest saved with every prepayment โ€” stayed motivated
โœ… Cleared the loan in 8 years flat

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜:
โ†’ Saved โ‚น40L+ in interest
โ†’ Became debt-free at 35
โ†’ Gained peace of mind + financial freedom
โ†’ Reinvested EMI amount into SIPs post-loan closure

๐Ÿ”‘ Every โ‚น1L prepayment early on can save you โ‚น1.5L+ in interest
๐Ÿ”‘ Donโ€™t wait for a windfallโ€”small, consistent prepayments work wonders
๐Ÿ”‘ Freedom from EMIs = freedom to dream bigger
๐Ÿ”‘ Your salary doesnโ€™t define your wealthโ€”your habits do

๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†?
Iโ€™m debt-free, investing more than ever, and living life on my terms.
