Does your salary go in just EMIs? | Money Psychology

If you take a lot of debt to buy things that you 'think' you need, you're close to falling into a debt trap! In this video, we'll help you understand how you can save yourself from a debt loop and how to differentiate between good debt and bad debt!

    I can relate this whole video. before 2020 I didn't have any credit card but soon I got one I fall in the emis trap. currently I have 4 credit cards and I almost used all of them for different purchases. After getting job in 2021 I took a Personal Loan, a RE Bike, an iPhone , couple of other mobiles , a Personal computer worth around 1.5L, a Tab, some headphones, and some other stuffs and all of them are on EMI I was at the same stage where my monthly emis were more than my monthly salary and currently it around 80% of my salary and have to pay those emi for coming 2-3 years as well. With almost zero savings or emergency funds. And because of all those emis I am unable to buy a house for coming few 3-4 years or more which could be a good debt or build an asset in my life instead of paying for consuming product for 4-5 years which value will be zero in future. So now I learned the biggest lesson firstly sort out the good debt and bad debt and never cross the emi 30% of your salary. This video is virtual representation of debt trap and how you could save yourself for it. Thanks.

    No. Because the plastic card gives you shopping habit which you didn't had. Probably you'll be buying expensive fuels and medicine, Groceries and movie tickets using cxc. When you buy things with real cash, it hurts and the consciousness tells you that if you're over shopping and not to visit the Dept store again since it's costlier than local market wholesale shop.

    I don't have debt. And nor does my family. (Even though we're going through a particularly tough time.) I don't want to downplay the need for loans by the underprivileged. We try to live within our means and avoid a lot of unnecessary materialistic things. We pay our credit cards in full and don't do EMIs. EMIs make you think that you can afford a lot more than you actually can, but like you said, people don't sit around calculating in Excel sheets. And also, like you said, every stakeholder in this has made it so that you end up buying impulsively with ease.

It is currently at 14% of my monthly salary (house is under construction) With no increments (assuming), it will increase to 30% when I get the possession next year. (A bit less if interest rates reduce by then) This means, if I want to upgrade my car, I need a big raise before I can do that.

I have the money to buy the product but converted into emi and use credit card to pay for the reward. credit card is on auto debit mode. 2) does the credit rating goes down if u have don't use credit for some period eg. 2 to 3 months where the credit card is firstly life time free card and second a paid card?

    Reality hits when you cross 28 and approach 30, all those care free mind that you had before will vanish, your parents would start getting old and medical bills start piling up, you would've or would get marry, have kids, buy a car on EMI, buy a house or a plot of EMI, life suddenly turns on its head and when you realize what actually happened, you'll be in deep shit
