Remember when you thought 50k was enough?
The investigation
Now you earn 1.5 Lakh, and you are still broke at the end of the month. Why?
This is called Parkinson’s Law. In finance, it means: “Expenses always rise to meet Income.”.
As soon as you get a raise, your brain tricks you. The rickshaw becomes an Uber. The dhaba tea becomes Starbucks. You upgrade your lifestyle exactly to match your new salary.
You don’t have an income problem. You have a behavior problem. Until you break this law, earning more money will just make you a “Richer Poor Person.”
