\nMy good friend Sridhar and I dined out for lunch at a Mangalorean restaurant. We liked the place, the food and service was amicable. At lunch, we discussed technology, professions, family and life in general. It was a good meetup.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s post is to discuss the one thing we examined closely. The topic was just \u00a0how our life is turning into a mundane, robotic machine where almost everyone is thriving on loans, paying EMI\u2019s and surviving the luxuries of the day.<\/p>\n

My take and the same is what I mentioned to Sridhar is that I would love to lead an EMI free life which he was quick to dispute was almost impossible in today\u2019s day and age. He says that once you get married you have to invest in buying a house\/car, take care of your kids needs along with several responsibilities and during that time money is hard to come by and so it is a wise option to take out a loan.<\/p>\n

So here I am writing this blog challenging \u00a0myself that even when I get married I will continue to lead a loan free life, which I believe is also stress free. The purpose of this blog is to measure out if I will someday lose out on my bet. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My dear friend Sridhar, so here I am, as per our conversation, the blog post is up. It also means that the clock is ticking for me. \u00a0I will definitely need some good luck. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
