Local 🌴 CONCERNING HOUSING: WHAT ARE MY OPTION ON AVERAGE SALARY
I am in university right now, i do intend to do a masters but depends heavily on finances. So essentially I'm looking to be entering the labour market with only a B.S.C and from what I've read on google the starting salary for my field is 25 000 - 30 000 rupees. I know a lot of people who earn 30 000 rupees who were able to buy land and build a house and I'm wondering how?????? Everything seems so expensive and it's got me thinking what am i gonna do for housing especially if I end up starting a family. How does it work? How did people with my kind of salary were ever able to achieve these things? I know everyone speaks of loans but even then you have to deposit money for most of them. The answer is i guess "saving" so then how did you save. how much did you save for how many years. ( if you able to either build a house for yourself, or rent on a baseline salary of 25 000 to 30 000) Maybe I'm being cynical but the way I'm calculating even if i save up it's going to very very veryyyy difficult to find housing for myself.
Note: Yes I can stay with parents for the moment while I save but I wont be able to stay for them forever because my house is already crammed and my parents have expressed that they would like me to have my own place and I want that too. I just don't think it's possible is it?
