I'm based in Bangalore and have a decent CTC (30+lpa). But when I go to places like Church Street, I feel out of place seeing how hi-fi people look, how well-dressed, and wondering who they are.

Does anyone else feel the same? I come from a tier-2 city (with a decent family background) but have been in Bangalore for 7-8 years.

There are people who spend unnecessary amounts of money on luxury clothing. Never feel out of place.

Post reading this post, I thought of sharing my story too. I'm a girl working for the last 6 yrs with a decent salary of 22 LPA but no savings. If I talk to people and say I cnt go on trips as I dnt have money or cnt join them for outings to clubs they think I'm a stingy person. But all have different priorities and responsibilities, if I want I cn spend 80K per month just on myself and look rich like others mentioned wannabe rich person bt I chose not to do that, I have one frnd like that who will spend all her salary on trips and clubbing in monthend she will cry for even 2K. I chose not to do that not to have that life, still I'm also not having any savings and hardly have 5K out of 1.5 lpa pm salary but reason is totally diff, so for outsiders I may be a stingy or shabby person bt I know why I'm so.
My father sacrificed a lot for our education, he went into extreme debt to fulfil our needs and to give us the education we wanted because earlier he sacrificed alot for his family and in return got nothing. He gave 5 LPA for his brother's daughter marriage as they begged for it (I dnt even want to call them family or cousin to be honest) by taking debt as his salary was only 10K that time only thinking they will help him in returning it which was his biggest mistake. That was 20 yrs ago and till now he is still in debt as the interest went till 50LPA. So anyone else will not think abt spending money on their child during such time bt he did, he gave us best education by listening to taunts of others saying if u dnt have money why are you spending on these things, just marry off ur girls with the money as dowry which u r spending on their education.
I'm glad my father didn't listen to them, he is my hero and my everything. So now I'm earning I spent all on clearing his debt, as an elder daughter I take it as my responsibility to help my father, my sister and brother are still in college so once they also get jobs hope we will do it together.
Basically I wanted to share this story to say dnt think how others feel or look, you know ur own situation and priority better than anyone else and focus on yourself on achieving ur goals like for me my goal is to make my father debt free. If my husband supports my decision I'm ok else I won't 3ven marry. That's it even if the world considers us as outsiders or outcast let them but in our story we r main lead right and we should behave like one.
