22x Your Parents' Income, but You Still Feel Poor. Ever Wondered Why?

Subscribe: @WhatWouldKrishnaSay This channel explores modern dilemmas through the lens of the Bhagavad Gita. Not religious instruction — just ancient frameworks applied to the stories that matter right now. Your salary today would have stunned your 20-year-old self. So why does the 20th of the month still come with a knot in your stomach? We earn far more than our parents did — and India's household savings just hit a 50-year low. A Delhi engineer on ₹1.6 lakh a month rents; his father raised three kids and bought a three-bedroom flat on ₹7,000 a month. 22x the income, half the life. What happened? This isn't a budgeting video. It's about the quieter question underneath all the 'start a SIP, track your expenses' advice: how would you even know when 'enough' arrived? I take that question — money, lifestyle creep, the feeling that more never lands — and run it through a 5,000-year-old conversation between Krishna and a man falling apart on a battlefield. No robes. No Sanskrit lectures. Just a corporate guy figuring out how to live, in public.
