Earning well, still broke: CA explains reason for techie's financial stress
IT professional trapped in 'house rich, cash poor' cycle despite earning monthly salary of Rs 2,20,000 Indian working professionals would regard an annual salary package of Rs 40 lakh as financial bliss. But even that kind of money won't be enough without financial planning, according to a social media post by chartered accountant Nitin Kaushik. Kaushik wrote about a 32-year-old Mumbai-based IT professional who is financially stretched despite earning Rs 2,20,000 as monthly salary. The reason? Lifestyle, loans, and limited investments. The breakdown: Where the money really goes Here's how the IT professional spends his salary: -Car EMI: Rs 5,000 -Living expenses: Rs 50,000 monthly -Monthly savings or investments: Rs 30,000- 40,000, if everything goes to plan A disruption, like job change or a medical emergency, could derail his finances. 'Welcome to being house rich, cash poor,' said Kaushik on X, summing up a situation where an individual owns assets but lacks sufficient liquid cash to stay financially secure. The real issue: Poor financial planning, not income Kaushik's post reflects a larger trend in India's urban salaried class. The key problems he highlights include: No emergency fund: A basic safety net is missing Lifestyle inflation: Spending rises as income grows No retirement planning: Long-term goals are ignored in favour of short-term comfort Lessons for every high earner Kaushik's message is simple but critical: a high salary doesn't guarantee wealth. Net worth may look impressive on paper, but cash flow is king. Here's what professionals can do differently: 1. Spend mindfully: Avoid expanding lifestyle in step with income 2. Invest for returns: Prioritise mutual funds, equities, or other productive assets liquidity: Keep an emergency fund that covers 6–12 months of expenses 4. Beware of aspirational debt: Don't borrow for the sake of social image or peer pressure High salary without a sound money plan will make you feel broke. As Kaushik puts it: 'Instead of just chasing bigger salaries, start chasing financial freedom.' For young professionals, the takeaway is clear: real wealth is about smart money management, not just a big paycheque.

Gujarat nears completion of statewide logistics master plan covering 8 key cities: Industries Minister
Gandhinagar: Gujarat is on the verge of finalising a comprehensive Logistics Master Plan for the entire state, including dedicated City Logistics Plans for eight major municipal corporations, said State Industries Minister Balvantsinh Rajput. During a review meeting of the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) held in Gandhinagar, the minister emphasised the state's commitment to align with national infrastructure goals and mentioned that projects exceeding Rs 500 crore, being implemented by Central agencies, are regularly monitored under the Project Monitoring Group (PMG) mechanism. GIDB acts as the nodal agency in Gujarat to facilitate and expedite resolution of such issues. Once completed, the master plan will help identify and improve industrial transport needs across the state, optimize goods movement, and support the development of a shelf of infrastructure projects. This initiative is seen as a critical step toward reducing logistics costs and boosting industrial competitiveness. The minister chaired a detailed review of GIDB's logistics and infrastructure planning initiatives. Minister Rajput urged officials to accelerate the completion of the City Logistics Master Plans for Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, and Junagadh. He also emphasised the creation of a Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) database to integrate logistics information across agencies and stakeholders. Further, he directed officers to ensure that Gujarat maintains a competitive position in the national LEADS (Logistics Ease Across Different States) rankings and continues proactive efforts to strengthen its logistics ecosystem. Highlighting the broader vision, the minister stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Viksit Bharat@2047" initiative, Gujarat is moving in sync to realise the state's developmental goals. He credited Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's leadership for driving effective infrastructure planning aimed at lowering logistics costs and fast-tracking key infrastructure projects. GIDB's CEO, P. Swaroop, briefed the minister on various initiatives, including the PM Gati Shakti Gujarat plan, efforts to cut logistics expenditure, monitoring of critical infrastructure projects, and the development status of Special Investment Regions (SIRs).
