Independent or self-dependent?

When we were in college (especially 4th year), most of us wanted to get a good job... The day we get jobs, we are very happy… as we are going to start our own life… life towards our financial independence… so that we don’t have to ask parents for monthly expenses.

After having a work experience of 3 yrs, I doubt if we can still say ourselves financially independent.

The more we grow... more we earn... the more our liabilities increase. Higher you grow, higher is the social status u need to maintain: a high-end cell phone, a good 2-wheeler/4-wheeler, good dressing style… etcetera etc. And, once you are married, you are gone. You can’t even dream of a situation when you are not earning.

So, I think, it will not be wrong in saying that even after earning 30-40K per month, we are not financially independent. Only the dependency has shifted from parents to self.


Well well well… just to clarify… nothing went wrong on my professional life in this recession time… but its just a thought which came in my mind IF I can even think of taking some risk in life and move back to pursue my interest & passion (details about it sometime later :) )
