Iyer further revealed that she bought a car worth Rs 22 lakh and spent Rs 5 lakh on medical expenses that were not covered by insurance. She also clarified that the mentioned expenditures don't include her expenditure on "F&B, daily expenses and material accumulations." The influencer wrote, "I used to be such an obsessive Saver and spend sparingly on the ‘big' things. 2024 changed that with help and advice and healthy pushes from my dad and friends.
Not everyone needs to agree, but this has been my significant move last year, and it brought me so much JOY and a sense of safety in an otherwise difficult year 🫶
Here's to more of this in 2025!
PS: I'm of course not including spends on F&B, daily expenses, material accumulations (big plans to cut that down this year too!)"
Sharanya also revealed her mantra of living life to all her followers, "Earn > Save > SPEND > Repeat."
She asked her followers to comment where they spent most money in 2024, "Where did you spend most of your money last year?". Sharanya's followers commented with hilarious replies, one user wrote, "Kamai kab aur kaha see ho rahi hai?", while another wrote, "Income tax department ki top list par ho". Some other comments read:
"I see it as an investment in your soul."
"Love this approach..."
"My middle-class mindset screaming."
"You will be having some amazing stories to tell."
"Meanwhile Finance influencers are experiencing trauma after this reel."
"Amazing reel. Influencers often talk about how many countries they've been to, but the amount of money needed to travel should also be a topic of discussion."
"No money spent on travelling should be considered as an expense."
"Please tell how you are earning soo much also!!"
