When most of us were growing up, we didn't really feel like we lacked too much. We often took for granted the groceries, electricity, and few treats that seemingly presented themselves to us. Cut to our early twenties, living that kind of life with a 30k salary seems quite impossible!
One of the struggles many of us face is that we're in jobs that require us to dress in expensive, varied outfits, which are way out of budget. Bring it up with anyone and we're slammed for only caring about our looks. Striking the balance is nearly impossible. But thankfully, we're "jugaadu" if not anything else, so we'll figure something out.
