No backup offer. No big savings. No fancy plan. And trust me, I was scared. Kya hoga? Expenses kaise manage honge? Dobara job kab milegi? EMI ka kya hoga? But after a few weeks, I realised something. Salary is a hard drug to quit. Not because of the money. Because your entire life starts revolving around it."What he said about salary and lifestyleExplaining his point further, he added: "Let’s say I make ₹1 lakh a month sitting on a desk for 9 hours every day. Then life starts happening. Rent. EMI. Weekend plans. Swiggy. Zomato. Subscriptions. The new iPhone at ₹3,347 per month because “80K ek saath thodi de raha hu.” And slowly, without realising it, your expenses rise with your salary."(Also read: ‘Gig entrepreneur’: Man earns ₹1 lakh driving cab after quitting ₹25,000 job)Karan said that this cycle often continues even when income increases. "Then the appraisal comes. Salary goes up. Expenses go up too. And one day, you realise you’re not working because you love the work. You’re working because your lifestyle demands it," he wrote.Clarifying that he was not encouraging people to quit their jobs, he further said: "I’m not saying quit your job. I’m not against salary. I’m against building a life where losing one paycheck feels like the end of the world. Because after 60 days of unemployment, I realised the trap isn’t corporate. The trap is lifestyle inflation. And most of us don’t even realise we’re in it."Watch the clip here:Social media reactsThe clip has amassed a few reactions, with many users saying that Karan’s thoughts felt relatable.
