I didnโt. And I still bought my first home. ๐ ๐ช
In 2018, I earned โน8L/year. No inheritance. No family support. Just a dream: owning a โน80L apartment in Mumbai.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐:
โ
Lived frugally: โน15K rent, no car, minimal lifestyle inflation
โ
Side hustled: Freelance tech gigs added โน3L/year
โ
Invested early: โน20K/month in mutual funds + ESOPs
โ
Up-skilled: Switched jobs twice, salary grew to โน22L by 2023
โ
Saved aggressively: โน30L corpus by 2024
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ:
โ โน80L property in 2025
โ โน35L down payment from savings
โ โน45L loan, EMI โน38K/month
โ No co-borrower, no guarantor
โ Still โน10L emergency fund intact
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐:
๐ Financial independence isnโt just about incomeโitโs about discipline
๐ Owning a home without family help builds confidence like nothing else
๐ You donโt need to rushโbuild your base, then buy smart
๐ Renting isnโt failure. Itโs a phase. Use it wisely.
๐ง๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐?
I own my dream home. I still invest โน25K/month. And I sleep peacefullyโknowing I did it on my own.
If youโre on a similar path, donโt lose hope. Your โน80L dream is possibleโeven on an โน8L salary.
