The Ego's Biggest Lie: You Were Never Small

Your ego has one lie it tells better than any other. Not that you're special. That you're small. You know the moment. Someone talks and the room goes quiet because of how sure they sound. Someone makes something and you stop scrolling to look at it twice. And a voice in your head goes, "I wish I had that." Not admiration. Ache. We treat that ache like proof we're missing something, so we get on the treadmill. Add a trait here, fix a flaw there, become the version of us that finally has what everyone else seems to have been born with.

And definitely not because I’m one of those minimalist finance influencers drinking matcha under a bamboo roof. It’s something I read once—years ago, somewhere forgettable—but it stuck to my brain like a moral law: “If you have to take an EMI for it, it means you can’t afford it.” And honestly? I’ve stood by it ever since. 📉 Why EMIs Feel Like Emotional Debt Here’s the thing I’ve noticed: It’s not just the money that EMIs take from you—it’s the joy . I’ve seen people buy something big on EMI—a phone, a car, a bike—and for the first few weeks, sure, they’re glowing. But then? The newness wears off. The product becomes just... a thing. And yet— the payments remain. Month after month, they’re still paying for something that’s no longer exciting. No longer special. Sometimes, even slightly annoying. That’s the p...
