We work hard. We earn well. But still — we struggle with money.
Whether you're from Pakistan, India, or Bangladesh — or living abroad in the UAE, UK, USA, or Canada — many of us face the same financial problems.
Let’s fix that together. Here are 5 common money mistakes desis make, and how you can avoid them:
1. Relying Only on One Source of Income
Mistake: Depending fully on one salary.
- What if you lose your job?
- What if your company shuts down?
Solution: Build a second income:
- Freelancing
- Renting property
- Online store or YouTube
- Part-time skill-based work
2. Delaying Investments Due to Fear
Mistake: “What if I lose my money?” or “I’ll start saving later.”
Result?
- Lost years
- No compounding
- No financial freedom
Solution: Start small.
- SIPs in India or Mutual Funds in Pakistan
- Digital gold, Naya Pakistan Certificates, FDs, etc.
3. Spending Too Much on Weddings & Family Pressure
Mistake: Overspending to impress others.
- Rs.20 lakh weddings
- Unnecessary dowry
- Borrowing just for show
Solution: Live for your future — not for others.
