Who doesn’t want to be a crorepati? Well, the ones who do not want that laurel around them backed by the bank statement would be far and few.
The Guide To Money
A Reddit user, under a pseudonym, shared their idea of what a successful bid at a prosperous life would look like.
In the post, the user shared on Reddit had a title which read ‘How I reached 1 crore net worth before 30’
Then the user gets into the “Plan”.
The Redditor adds by saying The Foolproof Guide to Becoming a Crorepati
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, aspiring millionaires and fellow survivors of the great financial massacre called “adulthood,” welcome to my TED Talk. Today, I am here to share with you the most foolproof, risk-free, and effortless way to become a crorepati.
But before I get to the grand revelation, let’s rewind a bit.
Taking back to the beginning of the story, the user claimed that they born into a middle-class family, where saving 10 rupees felt like a financial achievement and buying an extra-large pizza was considered an irresponsible life choice.
But the user had a vision. A dream. A goal. The user said, “I vowed to make 1 crore before I turned 30. Not 31. Not 35. 30. Because all self-made millionaires on the internet said it was possible, and we all know the internet never lies.”
The story reaches its first descend, when user shares the tale of ‘The Great Reality Check’
The user said, “Fast forward to my 30s, and I found myself… still looking for a job. Turns out, employers weren’t exactly throwing money at people whose biggest skill was knowing useless stock market jargon and consuming motivational YouTube videos at 2 AM.”
Warren Buffet’s Words
Was not readied to give up, said the user.
“But I was not one to give up! No sir. I decided to invest in the stock market. Because Warren Buffett once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.” So, I put my savings into stocks. And as fate would have it, the only thing that grew was my list of regrets. My investments didn’t just decline; they disappeared like my relatives when I ask for a loan.”, the user added.
If Musk, The So Can I
Taking about his ambitions and fighting spirit, the user further added, “But did I stop? Never! I took another leap of faith. I started a business. Because, if Elon Musk can build Tesla, why couldn’t I build something great? Turns out, starting a business requires more than just vibes and optimism. It also requires money, customers, and a basic understanding of what you’re doing. Three things I did not have.”
In the end, the user failed to attain what they set out to, claiming, “Long story short, I lost whatever was left of my sanity, my dignity, and of course, my savings.”
Then how did the user become a crorepati?
This is where the ploty twist comes. Further explaining, the user added, “
The user said, “And that’s when I had the greatest epiphany of my life—if you can’t earn 1 crore, just marry into it.”
Further, the user added, “Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my wife. Net worth: 1 crore. Assets: Houses, cars, and a father who actually likes me. Liability: Me. And just like that, I became rich. No market crashes, no business losses, just pure, risk-free inheritance.”
The user concluded the post, by admitting it was a “Joke”, andConclusion: Marry a rich girl. Thank you for attending my TED Talk. Inspired by similar post. Before mods ban me, yes this was a joke. Golden rule be rich is to earn more. Do it by switching jobs. Do it by marrying. Or Do it by inheritance. Best way to get rich is to make/have more money. Thank you.”
Netizens React
Other Redditors reacting to this ‘joke’ shared actual instances of shortcut to luxury.
One user said, “A friend of mine married his startup owner’s sister. He has no fear of layoffs like us peasants anymore(ofcourse nobody fires BIL), nobody questions if he wishes to take his family along on international business trips(no such luxury for us cattle class), lives in a nice villa in Pune(while we huffed & puffed to payoff loan for a 2bhk econobox), chauffeured around in BMWs/Mercs.”
Another user added, “My best friend married a rich girl. Their relationship wasn’t the greatest in the beginning. Almost went on to divorce. Both of their parents got involved. But now they are good. His earns decent enough. She’s a housewife. But her father is a big money lender. And he’s rich. Like richie rich kind of rich.”
