Chapter 26: chapter 26

Sanya quickly picked up the point and said, “Neha, you can always stay in the house and that also for free. You just need to marry Aman. Hehe!”Neha - Very funny. Azeez - Good joke! But Neha, you can also think about it. Aman is not married yet. Hehe!Neha said smiling, “Shut up, Azeez!”Azeez - Oh God, you are blushing! I can’t believe that!Neha - Hey, just stop. Aman - Please don’t make her feel comfortable. Vicky - But you are comfortable with it. Right? Hehe!Aman - No, it’s not like that! She is my friend. That’s all! Today, you guys have become very funny. Gagan - Because they want to forget about what happened last week. Sanya - Gagan, please don’t even talk about that. Oh, no! You made us remember that dark night! Azeez - Gagan, you are also becoming a fool like Aman. Huh! Can’t you talk about any good thing? Gagan lowered his eyes and said, “I am sorry, friends.”Vicky - Gagan, you need not be sorry. But avoid talking about our dark memories. It hurts. Gagan - Okay. Vicky - But what Aman told us on that day in the car, still, those thoughts are crossing my mind. Gagan - About what? Vicky - He said that he doesn’t take money or gold with him. It’s his tension free lifestyle. Gagan - Oh yeah, I remember. Vicky - Aman, it seems that you think very deeply on even the ignorable aspects of life. Even on that day, you escaped from the loot because of your smart planning, I guess. Truth be told, such a plan appears foolish to others. Aman - Hmm… Right. Vicky - You must be having a very unique financial planning too. Aman - Yeah, I do. Vicky - Would you like to throw some light on your financial planning? Aman - Yeah, I can tell but I am sure you are going to hate what I think. Vicky - No, you tell us. Aman - Are you all ready guys? Don’t curse me after listening to me? Neha - Hehe! Don’t worry, we won’t curse you. We will just listen to you. We won’t even judge you. Aman - Then, it’s fine. Okay, I am going to start now. Listen to me very carefully. When a person grows up, say when he becomes twenty five years old, he gets a job, be it a private job or a government job. Let’s assume he gets a private job at twenty five thousand rupees per month.Vicky - Okay. Aman - Now, see. Twenty five thousand per month or even twenty thousands per month is sufficient for his survival. Right? Gagan - Hmm… But he has to live a miserly life. Aman - Not even that much miserly. He will at the most consume a ration of about seven thousand rupees. He can’t consume more than that. After spending money on ration, he will still be left with thirteen thousand rupees. He can go to restaurants even four times a month easily.  Neha - Yeah, he can afford to go to a restaurant easily if he goes alone. Aman - So, it means if we don’t get a good job and we live alone, if we are working at a very less salary of twenty thousand rupees per month, then also, we can lead a good life. Gagan - Okay. Aman - But for us, twenty thousand rupees per month is a very small amount. Vicky - Yeah, it’s a meager salary. Aman - But I have already proved it. It’s not a meager salary. But it becomes very meager, very less at some point in our life. And that point is marriage. As long as we are bachelors, there is no problem for us. But when we get married then even one lakh rupees per month falls short. Neha - True. Aman - And there are reasons behind that. Because during the time of marriage, we need to have a big house. Without a house, the girl’s parents will never give their daughter to a boy’s family. And in a big house, there should be a big car also. After marriage, a vehicle is needed that can carry the whole family together. And girls love cars these days. And yeah, one thing I forgot. Even on the day of marriage, we have to spend money in lakhs on the marriage function. We have to spend a huge amount of money on the day of marriage to keep our nose (respect) in society. Gagan - Hmm…Aman - Twenty lakhs for a marriage function, ten lakhs on a car and fifty lakhs on a house, total we have to spend eighty lakhs rupees just for our marriage. And eighty lakhs of rupees is not a small amount. It’s a very big amount!Sanya - Hmm…Aman - And after marriage, a baby also comes in our life. Then we have to spend a lot of money on his education, on his medicines, we also have to make him a house of at least fifty lakh rupees so that he may get married. So, these all are the major expenses of our life. Our own marriage function, big house, car and our child. Right? Neha - Hmm…Aman - And for all these major four expenses, we need a lot of money. Sometimes, even three crore rupees fall short. Not sometimes, it’s often. If I talk about the lower middle class family, even for them one crore of rupees fall short. Vicky - What’s your point? Aman - If we can escape from these major four expenses of life, then in our life, there is no problem at all. We can easily and very happily survive even with a job of twenty thousand rupees per month.  Vicky - What do you mean to say? Aman - I mean to say if one doesn’t marry then it’s best for him. Hehe!Azeez - It’s not possible. Everyone wants to marry. Not getting married is itself a very big problem. All are not saints that they can survive without marrying. Aman - Then go for simple marriage. Don’t hire big palaces, don’t hire orchestras. Just get marriage registered, that’s all. No need to spend money on stupid things. In this way, you will save twenty lakhs of rupees! And it’s a very big amount. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
