Purchasing Power Is Going Down

I was talking to my brother back home in India and we came to the topic of “Biriyani”

Our minds were blown when we realized Biriyani only costed $80, 4 years ago now that’s $170 that’s a Big Jump of price. same goes for everything.

I asked my brother a contrarian question: So, what are you going to do about Purchasing Power going down?
He is like there isn’t much to do and I was like that’s not true there is actually something you can do.
(at that time my mind was like save money, invest, start a business) but that’s not enough in 2025!

Second call was with my Homie in India, same topic (bro purchasing power going down)

He gave me another Blockbuster Mindfuck. People are taking EMIs/Loans to Buy iPhone and getting married (what kind of cluster fuck situation is taking a bank loan to get married)
