Has anyone in here bought a house cash? This may be a future option for me and I’d love to hear from those who have done it. I think the peace of mind of no mortgage given our field is highly volatile would be amazing, plus I get to skip interest and “Islamic Financing”. Seems like a win, I know non Muslims would tell me I’m a idiot and I should be investing my money in some AI missile start up to 10x my return but they also don’t have any issue with perpetually living in debt

May Allah reward you for your intention and make it easy for you to buy the house all cash. I’m also planning to do that but it’s at least a couple years away.

Ameen, cash is the most halal proof way to go to avoid repackaged riba. May Allah grant you ease

Do it. I paid off a house and it was great. Honestly, it’s your money and your soul. Not everything is about squeezing out every penny in returns

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.
