In a post titled, ‘I secretly hit ₹ 15 Lakhs in savings today, but sitting at dinner with my family just broke my heart’, the man said that he had expected reaching the milestone to make him feel proud. Instead, he found himself struggling with guilt.
It won’t cost you lakhs.. One user wrote, “Instead of feeling the guilt, you can just buy her glasses, pay off some bills, buy something new for the home.. Few thousands maybe. And for that you don’t have to mention your whole savings. “Don’t get into family budget specifics or let them get into your financial specific, simply transfer your mom a fixed sum each month from your income, let her figure out where to spend that. If you make 1L+ then 15k is good a decent amount. Otherwise go lower,” suggested one user.
He recalled a conversation at dinner where his father was worried about the electricity bill, while his mother said she was delaying buying new glasses to save money. “My dad worked hard his whole life and sacrificed everything so I could earn well today and no tensions,” he wrote.
