🏡₹1 Cr Home = "Wow, Rich!" 💸₹1 Cr Portfolio = "Bas? Kya kar rahe ho life mein?"
The Strange Logic of Society — And What Real Wealth Actually Looks Like
Ever noticed how financial reality and social validation often move in opposite directions?
👉 Build a ₹1 crore investment portfolio with sweat, discipline, and patience — and no one bats an eye.
👉 But take an ₹80 lakh loan and buy a ₹1 crore house — suddenly, you’re the hero of the family WhatsApp group.
“Beta ne ghar le liya!”
“Settled ho gaya!”
“Shagun bhejo!”
But wait a second... who’s the real wealth builder here?
📊 Invisible Assets vs Visible Liabilities
In India, we often equate debt-backed consumption with prosperity. The bigger the EMI, the bigger the respect.
A house worth ₹1 Cr bought with 80% loan = society’s standing ovation
An equity portfolio worth ₹1 Cr = “Bas trading karta hai?”
It’s like congratulating someone for wearing a shiny gold chain… made of chocolate.
🧠 Analogy Time
1️⃣ The Peacock and the Ant
The peacock shows off its feathers, but can’t fly far.
The ant quietly builds its colony — no noise, just compounding.
2️⃣ Instagram vs Income Tax
Your Instagram may say “#LuxuryLife” but your ITR knows the truth.
A 1 Cr house on EMIs might impress social media, but a 1 Cr portfolio impresses your future self.
🤯 Why Does This Happen?
Because society loves tangible status symbols. Homes, cars, gold — things they can see, touch, and brag about.
But long-term investing? That’s boring. It doesn’t come with an inauguration or pooja.
In fact, when you say “I’m investing in mutual funds,” most uncles just assume you’re unemployed.
🎯 What’s the takeaway?
Real wealth isn’t about what people can see.
It’s about what gives you freedom — from EMIs, from paycheck-to-paycheck living, from fake approval.
So, don’t seek applause for building your portfolio. Seek compounding.
Because at the end of the day, you can’t eat appreciation posts. But your portfolio can feed generations.
