Siddhant Garg

₹10 crore in India is freedom.
Not luxury. Not yachts.

Freedom.
Freedom to say no.
Freedom to switch careers.
Freedom to take a break.
Freedom to not panic over every market crash or job loss.

The interesting part?
For a dual-income professional couple starting in their mid-20s, building ₹10Cr by 40–45 isn’t unrealistic.

With consistent investing, 12–15% returns, and discipline it’s math, not magic.

Yet, very few reach there.
Why?

Because most people block their biggest wealth-building years early.
At 25 or 28, emotions take over:
 “Own house = success.”
 “Rent is waste.”
 “Everyone is buying.”

So they lock themselves into a 20–25 year EMI.

And once ₹40K–₹80K per month goes into EMIs, flexibility disappears.
Risk-taking reduces.
Investing slows down.

It’s not that buying a house is wrong.
It’s about timing.

The first 10–15 earning years are your compounding years.
 If you protect them, they change your life.
 If you block them, they control your life.

Only 2% think long term.
The other 98% follow emotion.
So here’s the real question:

Are we buying assets for freedom or buying liabilities for validation?

These 5 financial milestones are not optional. They are the need of the hour.
Everyone has different dreams, lifestyles, and goals.

But there’s a basic financial foundation that everyone needs at least as a minimum to live freely and peacefully.

I’m not saying you should stress yourself trying to achieve these overnight.
But if you start early and stay consistent, you can realistically reach these milestones before 30.

And once you do, life changes.

Not just financially but mentally.

Because the truth is, today 90% of problems can be solved with money and the right wisdom about spending and investing it.

When you combine these two elements, you create stability.
And stability creates freedom.

If I had to define 5 core financial milestones, they would be:
• ₹30 lakh minimum net worth
• 6 months of emergency fund
• Zero consumer debt (no credit card or personal loan outstanding)
• Health insurance with at least ₹20 lakh cover
• Term insurance with at least ₹2.5 crore cover

This isn’t about showing off wealth.
It’s about building a safety net strong enough that life’s surprises don’t break you.

Once your base is secure, growth becomes easier and stress becomes lighter.

What’s your view?

Are these realistic minimums or would you change something?

When I say choose a life partner, not a lifestyle partner, I truly mean it.
It means both partners are hardworking and planning for a great futurewhile also enjoying the present.

Recently, I connected with a couple who are consistently investing a part of their income to build long-term wealth.

At the same time, they are enjoying life today.

They go on trips
They go out for dinners
They go for movie dates
They go on long drives
They work on a small business alongside their jobs
They are planning to raise their children with good values
They have proper insurance coverage
They support each other during low phases and celebrate good times
They make plans to spend quality time together
All of this is possible when there is clarity in the mind.

Confusion creates trouble.
But when you clearly decide what you want and plan for it, things usually work out.

So let me know your opinion in the comments.

Do you really need a lifestyle partner or a life partner?

One of my friends is now in mid career age and doing well on papers but shared one honest thing one day 

I don’t need another certificate. I need learning that actually helps me grow.

I think most of the newly edtech platforms are not able to understand what actually the learner or candidate wants because

They chased scale, discounts, and quick wins.

But that’s where Jaro Education quietly did the opposite.

jaro education never tried to replace universities or become a mass-learning app. Instead, it chose a clear role enabling top institutions to reach working professionals through online and blended programs.

For learners, this means:
- Credible education without quitting a full-time job
- Flexible learning that fits real life
- Programs linked to real career outcomes

For universities, it means:

- Scaling beyond physical campuses
- Staying relevant to industry needs
- Reaching the right professionals, not just more students

Jaro handles the ecosystem outreach, learner experience, technology, insights while institutions own academics and degrees.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just a model built for the long term.

That’s why, when edtech faced turbulence, Jaro scaled with trust intact.

Because real education isn’t about trends.

 It’s about outcomes that last.

Is it a good idea to take a loan for a wedding just because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event?

Someone reached out to me during a 1:1 session. He’s getting married in the next 8 months.

He said,
 “Siddhant, I have ₹6 lakh in savings, and my total wedding expense is ₹10 lakh. Should I take a loan?”

Instead of directly saying yes or no, I asked him something important:
What other possible sources do you have?

Let’s keep debt as the last option or avoid it completely if possible.

I suggested a few alternatives:

Can you arrange interest-free money from relatives, close friends, or cousins?
Are you expecting any bonus or additional income in the coming months?

Do you have anything at home that’s unused and can be sold? 

Maybe an old bike, scooter, car, or anything else that can generate some extra cash?


And so on.

My suggestion was simple:

 Avoid a loan as much as possible, so you don’t start your married life worrying about EMIs and debt pressure.

After one month, he came back with a big smile.

He said he managed to arrange the extra money through relatives, selling unused items, and an upcoming bonus.

Sometimes, solutions exist.

But because of so much noise around us, we fail to identify them.

That’s exactly why I’m here to cut the noise and help you make better financial decisions.

Now tell me,
Do you think it’s a good idea to take debt for a wedding?

Company delayed salary by 20 days.

What would you do?
Recently, I was speaking to a friend. His salary was delayed by more than 20 days.

But his EMIs weren’t delayed.
Banks don’t wait.

 They start calling.
 They charge late fees.
 They affect your credit score.

So whose fault is it?

The bank’s?
The company’s?
Yours?
Or just the situation?
Salaries can get delayed sometimes.

EMIs can’t.
So what are the options?

A) Pay the minimum due
B) Borrow from a friend
C) Use a credit card
D) Ignore the calls

This is exactly why an emergency fund matters ideally 6–12 months of survival expenses without depending on salary.

But the real question is:

Does everyone actually have that cushion?

Maybe not.

Then what should someone do in this situation?
I’d love to know your thoughts.

10 Things Middle-Class Indians Waste Money and think they are living a great life 

Looking rich ≠ Being rich.

Here are the common traps 
(1) iPhone on EMI
Spending ₹1.5L on a phone while earning ₹30K/month is not smart – it’s a debt trap

(2) Credit-Funded Foreign Trips
Traveling to Dubai or Maldives on credit cards just to post reels = long-term EMIs.

(3) Frequent Cafe & Food Delivery
₹500 Starbucks + ₹800 Zomato bills every weekend = ₹5K/month gone without notice.

(4) Big Fat Weddings
Spending ₹10–₹30L on one-day show kills financial health. No ROI, only stress.

(5) Expensive Brands for Show-Off
Wearing ₹5K shoes with no savings doesn't impress the right people.

(6) Too Many Subscriptions
Netflix + Prime + Hotstar + Spotify = ₹700–₹1,000/month wasted if underused.

(7) Trendy Imitation Jewellery
₹10K spent on non-resellable jewellery for Instagram = zero long-term value.

(8) Loan-Based Cars/Bikes
₹20K EMI on a ₹50K salary for a car = status today, stress tomorrow.

(9) Over-the-Top Birthday Parties
₹15K–₹30K spent for a 2-hour celebration just to click pictures.

(10) Unused Fancy Gadgets
DSLR, PS5, Alexa bought during sale → sits unused, depreciates fast.

Real richness is not in EMIs, 

But peace of mind & growing savings.
Stop chasing appearance, start building assets.
