Taking a loan has never been easier. There is almost no friction between wanting something and borrowing to pay for it. The problem is that income is limited, while the list of things we want is endless. And often, it isn’t even the purchase we want as much as... show more

Very similar thoughts Nithin avare. 🙏

This video doesn’t give the source of the data in the description on YouTub. The start of video graph says indian savings are at lowest. now source is not mentioned and we don’t know what counts as savings. ONLY FD/PF/PPF counts or MF/Stocks also ? Anecdotal evidence?

Spot on, Nithin. The frictionless credit boom has completely inverted the traditional wealth-building equation. Every discretionary EMI is essentially a negative SIP—compounding debt instead of compounding wealth. When we commit future income to fund a fleeting lifestyle upgrade, we completely wipe out the opportunity cost of that capital over time.

What about goverment doing this injustice to us.

Be generous investing in appreciating assets like education, home for self occupation, land, gold, interest/ dividend bearing instruments, etc. but be stingy buying depreciating assets like a new toy, car and such.

This is real in India more than most markets. EMI culture has made it socially acceptable to finance a phone upgrade every year. The dangerous part is how invisible the debt becomes when it's split across 6 different lending apps and none of them show you the total.

Yes🙌

Checkout pages quietly stopped showing prices and started showing EMIs. That one design change has probably moved more household debt than any ad campaign.

@Nithin0dha Why MTF's interest are very high on Kite as compared to icici direct? Is it just high margin product or any default risk possible?

This is an excellent video @PrateekLearnapp . Great share @Nithin0dha

I think there was a program by zerodha earlier for kids - we need more of this to inculcate the habit of spending.

Debt is not always bad. The real danger is using future income to finance temporary wants instead of building long-term assets.

Good Lesson to learn

Very important message. Borrowing should create assets or future income—not fund temporary lifestyle upgrades. Financial literacy begins when we understand the difference between productive debt and consumption debt. Thanks for highlighting this.

Completely agree

Lifestyle debt can become expensive.

That a point nithin the new generation is being hit by peer pressure and the fomo factor hence a fancy car becomes priority even before a house.

When I look at the source table 11&12 RBI Handbook 2024-25,I see the savings increased along with liabilities but never down - Gross Financial Assets grew from ₹15,622 crore in 1983-84 to ₹39,18,073 crore in 2023-24. Bank Deposits spiking to over ₹18.6 lakh crore in 2023–24.

Easy credit makes spending effortless. Financial discipline is what keeps it from becoming a long-term burden. Saving and investing should come before unnecessary borrowing.

Best way to control impulsive purchase is to save and invest first than spend

Like an idiot living in delulu claiming taking loan is easy my azz

Congrats on 800k subscribers. The idea that every EMI is a claim on your future income is something more people need to think about.

Very nice article☺️! Extremely informative

Prateek is doing great job 👏

Excellent. Good information 👍

Qqq

This is a well done video @PrateekLearnapp. Great share @Nithin0dha

They should ban advertising emi number for products. Worst is that the time frame is also skipped.

Nice video. @Nithin0dha is this trend happening all over the world or only in India?

Inflation keeps raising faster than our salaries
