This former Oracle employee had invested heavily in fixed deposits, including joint accounts with family members. These investments were giving him a steady income of around ₹43,000 every month, allowing him to manage his expenses without any immediate financial pressure.
Coming back home, he started living with his parents and started working as an Uber driver as per his convenience. He is completely free from the burden of EMI or loan associated with urban life. This flexibility has also given them time to plan their next steps, including the possibility of starting a small family business.
The viral post described his mentality as having “pure old school vibes” that emphasize the importance of long-term planning rather than making a quick buck. It also had a big message: “So guys, plan ahead so you never stumble when the need arises.”
His story stands out amid the massive layoffs taking place in the tech industry, where thousands of professionals have been affected. In these times of uncertainty, his journey has touched the hearts of people online, giving a powerful lesson on the importance of facing difficulties, preparation and financial discipline.
