Why some purchases are priceless: Startup founder on spending and living well
In the world of money talk, we often hear the same advice on repeat, save more, spend less, think rationally. But Founder and CEO, Shyam Achuthan, reminds us that people are not spreadsheets. We are humans with emotions, dreams and a deep need to find meaning in what we wrote on LinkedIn, 'In the world of personal finance, we are constantly reminded to think rationally.' He points out the usual warnings,'Don't buy a car, it's a depreciating asset,' or 'A home loan will tie you down for decades.' But, as he rightly puts it, 'Sometimes, we forget that we are not spreadsheets. We are human beings, emotional, aspirational, and deeply tied to the meaning behind what we buy.' advertisementOWNING A HOME: MORE THAN JUST BRICKS AND WALLSFor many, buying a house is more than an investment. It's about feeling safe, settled and proud. 'For someone who has spent their life moving from one rented house to another, never truly feeling rooted, buying a home isn't just a transaction, it's a triumph,' Shyam explains. That first whiff of tea in your own kitchen or seeing your name on the gate is priceless. 'That's not a financial mistake. That's emotional wealth. And emotional wealth is real.'WHY BUYING A CAR IS ABOUT FREEDOM, NOT LUXURYThe same goes for a car. Not everyone buys a car to show buy it for the freedom to travel when they want, visit parents without long bus rides or drop kids to school when it rains. 'Yes, it costs money, but the return is joy, peace, convenience, and those can't always be quantified,' he SMART: SMALL HACKS FOR BIG PURCHASESStill, Shyam is clear that big purchases don't mean throwing caution to the shares a smart tip: consider a well-kept used car instead of a brand new one. 'Vehicles depreciate the most in their first couple of years. By letting someone else absorb that hit, you get a quality car at a much lower price,' he IS THE KEY: EARN FOR WHAT YOU SPENDYet, his message is simple, balance your happiness with responsibility. He shares an idea that hits home: 'You can buy that iPhone on a Rs 10K EMI, but make it a promise to yourself that you will find a way to earn an extra 10K from next month.'He suggests using your skills, starting a side hustle or taking up weekend gigs to make this extra money BEFORE YOU BUY: TEST YOUR EMISBefore taking a big loan, Shyam suggests a simple trick,'Practice it. For the next 3-4 months, set aside the same EMI amount as a mock expense. If you can handle it without strain, you're ready. If not, you've just saved yourself from regret.'His bigger point is that money is not just about saving. It's about designing a life you love. 'If a decision adds meaning to your life and pushes you to level up, it's not a mistake. It's a mission,' he says. He believes the real secret is not avoiding spending but aligning it with what you truly value — and then working harder to afford FULLY, SPEND WISELYadvertisementSo, next time you feel guilty about wanting a car, a new phone or your dream home, remember Shyam's words: 'The richest person isn't the one who spent the least. It's the one who lived fully, loved deeply, and figured out how to pay for it along the way.'- Ends
