Techie Earning Rs 7 Lakh A Month Says It Still Isn't Enough
A 29-year-old software engineer earning a monthly income of Rs 7 lakh through dual employment has expressed concerns over persistent financial insecurity. Despite accumulating significant savings, the tech professional remains focused on wealth generation at the expense of personal and family time.
A 29-year-old software professional, who balances two separate jobs to earn a monthly salary of Rs 7 lakh, has shared his struggle with financial anxiety. The individual reported that despite bringing in a high income, he continues to live with the fear that his current wealth is insufficient to provide long-term security for his family.
The techie's schedule involves working up to 12 to 14 hours a day to meet the demands of both roles. This intense workload has led to a self-admitted lack of work-life balance, leaving little time for social interactions or relaxation outside of professional obligations.
Financial experts note that this sentiment reflects a growing trend of 'money dysmorphia' among high earners in the tech sector, where the pressure to accumulate assets outweighs the utility of the income. The worker noted that his preoccupation with his bank balance has begun to overshadow his physical and mental well-being.
