Individuals Share Challenges Managing Debt Amid Income and Expense Pressures

Analysed 1 Jul 2026·6 sources analysed·Pune, India·Business
Individuals Share Challenges Managing Debt Amid Income and Expense PressuresPreviousNext

Several individuals have shared their financial struggles due to debt and income challenges. A 27-year-old man earning Rs 23,000 monthly fell into Rs 3 lakh debt from credit cards and loans after spending on parties and spa visits, struggling to repay EMIs despite converting credit card dues into installments. Separately, a Pune professional with a Rs 90,000 salary accumulated Rs 15 lakh debt following a family medical emergency. Another man regrets buying a Rs 1.5 crore apartment after his income dropped, making EMIs difficult to manage. These cases highlight issues of debt management, credit scores, and financial planning.
