High-earning techie faces financial shock during family medical crisis
A Bengaluru-based software engineer with a monthly income of ₹1.8 lakh believed he was financially stable, as he was putting ₹80,000 into SIPs every month. However, after his father was rushed to the ICU, the hospital demanded an immediate deposit of ₹2.5 lakh, leaving him with only ₹32,000 in his bank account. He was forced to take a loan, highlighting how even those with substantial salaries can find themselves financially exposed when an unexpected emergency strikes.
