A little difficult to write this, but here goes.
Things haven't been great financially for me lately. And honestly, with Diwali and the festive season around, it feels a little harder than usual.
I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm trying to find a way forward,

The hardest part of financial struggle isn't always the money itself.
Sometimes it's the feeling that you should be doing better by now.
You've worked for years. You've gained experience. You've tried to make good decisions. And yet, there's still a long way to go.
I'm learning not to confuse my current financial situation with my entire future.
I have things to fix. I have lessons to learn. And I still have time to build a better life.
One of the strangest feelings is having a job, earning a salary every month, and still worrying about money.
You go to work, pay your bills and carry on with life. From the outside, everything looks fine.
But you know how much is left after the EMIs, expenses and responsibilities. Sometimes, there isn't much.
I'm learning that earning money and building financial stability are two completely different skills. And I wish I'd understood that earlier.
Things are still tough financially, but I'm trying my best.
Thank you to everyone who's been supporting me. It means a lot. ❤️

Anybody who really good guidance can connect with Sumit. 🫠
I already had a wonderful session with him 2 months back
I want to share a small update.
My last thread reached more people than I ever expected.
I'm genuinely grateful for all the support.
But things are still difficult financially, and I'm trying to find my way through it.

And if you can't book a session, even a repost would mean a lot right now.
Thank you.

Me thinking of all the plans i thought of when I got my first job 7 years ago while sitting with a debt above 20 lakh rupees and putting my family in a mess. I'm still hopeful of turning it around. I'm still hopeful (staring at the empty wall)
In case if anyone can help me with any gigs on the side, I'd be happy to discuss.
Thank you to all of you for the support. I have received 3 bookings so far. It may seem 3 bookings for ₹99 each is nothing. But to me, that's a lot at this moment. I'm just trying to make things better for my family this month.
Not sure why people think this is just a marketing gimmick to get more bookings. I already did this for free for over a year and helped people. If not for the difficult situation, I'd still offer this for free once things get better.
I'm really grateful that people have trusted me with something as important as their careers.
If you're looking for a job, planning a switch, or just feeling a little lost about your next career move, maybe I can help.

And if you book a session, it'll help me get through a tough time as well. I won't pretend that doesn't mean a lot to me.
Even a repost would be appreciated.
Thank you for reading this.
