A young man has cracked the ‘ Indian Dream’ before he has even hit 30. The 29-year-old, who lives in Gurgaon, earns a staggering Rs 35 lakh per annum. And its good fortune doesn’t just end here. As he is living with his family, he incurs no household expenses such as rent and bills and so has the liberty to invest wisely and save most of what he earns.
However, his personal relationships are a mess.
Sharing his story on X, chartered accountant Nitin Kaushik quipped, “Financially, he’s a compounding machine. But his relationships aren’t growing.” He then went on to explain what made this bachelor not so “eligible.” According to Kaushik, the man is ambitious in his career and in choosing a partner but expects her to adapt effortlessly into his parental home.
Why Compatibility Feels Like a Merger
Kaushik likened the situation to merging two thriving portfolios but expecting one to conform to pre-existing rules. From a woman’s perspective, true partnership means co-creating a shared space and identity. This includes everyday choices such as selecting home décor, setting household routines, and feeling a sense of joint ownership. She seeks equality in emotional and domestic decision-making, not just the comfort of stepping into someone else’s surplus.
Emotional ROI in Relationships
Kaushik stressed that relationships, much like financial investments, depend on shared participation. Without equal agency, emotional returns diminish, regardless of how strong the financial foundation may appear. Data underscores the point: although India’s divorce rate is low at around 1 percent, metropolitan cities such as Hyderabad have seen divorce petitions rise by 25 percent in the last five years. While financial disputes account for about 16 percent of separations, deeper causes like ego clashes, communication breakdowns, and rigid attitudes play a larger role.
The Real Takeaway
Money itself may not be the prime reason for strained marriages, but the dynamics surrounding it often are. True partnership requires more than just financial stability—it calls for mutual respect, independence in decision-making, and emotional reciprocity. Men aspiring for meaningful relationships must go beyond wealth to reflect equality. After all, one doesn’t simply attract what is desired but what is mirrored in behavior and choices.
