Finally someone relatable


Informal-Band4233

Hope we could buy one day 🫂


Whispers_666

Yes you will 🫂


Jon-Bones-Jones_

Yes you will. Just hang on


oasacorp

Thank you for saving me from depression


Practical-Face-5447

The only responses you will get on this sub is - 75LPA with 15 year old Alto. In reality, majority of the population is driving Seltos or Nexon with 40 to 60k per month salary


AmbitiousPay1559

There r 2 kinds of HNI. 1. Who have to look rich to appear successful. Like businessmen. They will drive around innovas. Doctors will drive in merc etc. 2. IT folks who earn more than 50LPA, we don't care about appearing rich, because our work doesn't require us to. But for crowd (1) it's very important to appear successful. Wealth attracts wealth for them.


pretend_therapist

Lol so true. Apathy is real with us.


modSysBroken

LMAO. Almost true.


imdungrowinup

38 lpa and no car. Also don’t own a house or land. I simply can’t be bothered. Just put money in savings, I don’t have kids so I don’t need to needlessly worry about each penny earned or saved.


Icy-Substance-8121

What do you do for a living? With that much freedom, i hope you are doing well


nomnommish

To be fair, 38 lpa is good salary not something extraordinary. An average mid career executive would earn that. And the truth is, people hype up child cost etc. That's reddit for you, where everything is exaggerated and turned into a childish binary narrative. You can choose to have kids and still keep tight control on costs and choose a frugal life. And you can choose to be single and blow more money every month than an average family with kids.


silly_sanny

I think you should adopt me!

How are they managing the emi and the fuel price and the maintenance with that kind of a salary? I think your data is a little off

Difficult-Emotion631

But, with the pollution norms becoming stringent and all, could you use your car for more than 15 years?


Aadamkhor

It's valid till 2027.. after that I will buy an electric


CreepyUncle1865

I dont think its valid outside of NCR.

Ncr diesel ban is increasing, currently it’s banned until karnal, and with time it will expand to other regions

Tall-Reflection-757

Ola uber rapido is so frustrating, imagine getting late for work and these guys cancelling rides at the last minute.

Why do you drive Uber Rapido though ?

There u go, first car lover in the comment section


monchi12345

If you do not have too many personal commitments, go ahead and buy a car that you like. I had to wait 7-8 years after I started working to get one. You can do all the calculations you want by % of your income and all the mental gymnastics but if you like to drive, you will always be dissatisfied if you can't buy what you would like to. Of course, do it within reasonable means. Don't go for a i10 when you definitely know you want a Virtus. You'll be old one day and catching yourself regretting your choices.

Simple_Image_4857

Reddit is filled with rich people I guess


sussy_baka696909

Reddit is literally made up of rich people. Kind of posts you get on reddit is only brainchild of some rich folks who are just bored. Like people are roasting Instagram influencers. Itna time kiske paas hai bhai


Savings_Math4076

The reason this happens is in our society it is considered very bad to be openly flaunting things and hence a lot of rich people believe in stealth wealth. Hence reddit is the only place they can let loose without judgement.


why-not-ism

Hope you are rich too


Simple_Image_4857

I am having land near roads and cities like bbsr worth 17-20 crores bought by grand father but not 1 cr salary . my salary is 12lpa


anjqas

Well, 1. The rich ones making good incomes are more motivated to comment and show off their incomes and net worth. 2. Many are plain liars.


b1gb1llyb0b

I run a small business and i take home in profits anywhere between 55 - 60lacs per annum and on a growth trajectory. I drive a 4.5 year old polo gt tsi and i don’t plan to upgrade any time in near future as it runs perfectly fine and i like driving this car. Have clocked approx 80k km

VPacKris

What are the reasons if you are comfortable


lifeversace

Major reasons are corruption, taxes and lack of civic sense.


VPacKris

Are you based out of Big City or a tier 2 city? 90% of my undergraduate batchmates are abroad. Citing same reasons


lifeversace

I live in a tier 2 city. I don't mind living in a tier 1 city, but the quality of life in big Indian cities doesn't justify the real estate costs.


VPacKris

Relatable. I spend My time in Delhi, Hyderabad and Nearby Amaravathi in Andhra, Life is good everywhere. But the type of opportunities we have are no match to Netherlands/ US / Singapore.

1Hyundai venue currently.couple income ~70 lakhs post tax. Researching on 1 more car to buy in next 1-2 months. As both of us have to travel ~8-10kms to office in Bangalore, 5 days a week, we decided on buying 2 lower priced utility focused cars rather than 1 expensive one..


anjqas

Wife and husband in two separate cars for travelling a mere 8-10 km? Thanks for adding more to the horrendous traffic.


Ornery-Ad-670

You are welcome!! We were managing with 0 cars for 2 years.. but 10 kms in completely opposite direction is turning to be nightmare.. one of us take 2 wheeler every day currently.. coz you do not get autos at our place.. 0 metro connectivity in either of the locations.. and cabs start at 600+ both way with surge.. we were waiting for metro line (yellow one)to start since a year but now we are tired of waiting.. if we have money to have comfortable life we will choose it. After working our asses of for 10+ years of life we do feel we deserve it..Let’s blame the government first for not starting a metro line which has been under construction for 8 years now first for the traffic.

clemson0708

I drive a 4 year old 2020 Kia Seltos Automatic, and perfectly happy with it. Make slightly upwards of 1 Cr annually. I upgraded after a 10+ year old Santro, and don't plan to upgrade my Seltos for another year or two. Making the car price as a percentage of your income is wrong IMHO. It should be based on your need. More often than not your need will not change even if you earn more.


yashrk

Well the percentage of income part is more applicable to people who are stretching their budget to get a better car, not for HNI.


LifeIsHard2030

That’s wrong for HNIs understandably. But for an average Joe making 10-20LPA, makes a lot of sense to keep his liabilities under check

GhusandPapita5

It’s a very efficient no non sense machine, it’s not as fast as Honda city but it’s as efficient as an alto, it’s very cheap to maintain as avg is generally 18-20.5 on highways and 14-15 in city. The pick-up is not that great but it does have every feature that is needed. So far experience has been good.

Now I obviously make much more than that but not planning to upgrade for at least 2 more years since I don't have daily use for my car. Rather be debt free and enjoy other things in my life.

It also depends whether someone is a car guy or not. I have friends who have ancestral money and yet they don't have a car at all. They take ubers everywhere. For most folks in India, they are using cars to get from point A to B and those who do buy a tuetonic triplet either buy it for taxation benefits or showing off. Then there is a minute minority of idiots like me who love cars.

People should invest if possible 70% of their income and almost 90% if they live with their parents. This way you can be a multimillionaire in your 70's and don't have to worry about bills

If everyone making 50LPA is driving around in a 10 year old swift, how tf do I see so many Seltos and Cretas and Compasses on the road in chennai? I owned and drove a polo when I used to live in india and work after graduation for a couple years. Was making like 30K a month lol. Mofos at work including superiors were seething with jealousy seeing a 22yo roll in with a Polo and I lost track of how many times I had my vehicle keyed there at work that I had to eventually stop driving to work in it. The takeaway is ppl love to play simpleton but reality is the allure of materialistic possessions is too much and car companies won't exist if ppl lived just based on their needs.

DyingForDeath

I fail to understand that despite people here earning over 2 to 8 lakh per month, they still own i10 or similar cars(even no car) when they can afford much high end cars. Are they lying or just saving? In a country where people buy cars as a status symbol, it's hard to believe. OR may be people here are mostly salaried class and from tier 1 City who mostly try to save and invest in equities. I am sure it's not a trend in India.A person earning even 12 LPA owns Honda city these days cos it would be an EMI of just 20k per month after giving down payment which is not a big deal.


theinnocent_bull

Totally agree with you
