A young tech professional recently recounted how, despite earning more than Rs 2 lakh per month, he was unable to find a suitable match in an arranged marriage<\/a>. Taking to the subreddit Indian Flex, he shared his journey. At 28, he earned about Rs 2.5 lakh after taxes, but his personal life has not unfolded as smoothly as he hoped. He lost his father while pursuing his B.Tech degree and managed to clear his education loan without any external help. His career began modestly with a monthly package of just \u20b918,000, yet through determination and seven years of relentless effort, he rose to his current pay scale.<\/p>\n

Over the years, he prioritized his family\u2019s needs above his own. He spent nearly \u20b920 lakh on his sister\u2019s wedding, purchased gold worth \u20b912 lakh for his mother, and gifted another \u20b910 lakh in gold to his sister. He also invested about \u20b910 lakh in mutual funds and bought land valued at \u20b925 lakh. Despite all these achievements, he admits he has no personal savings<\/a> or emergency fund. For himself, he avoids splurges, often second-guessing even small luxuries like a new phone or quality clothing.<\/p>\n

Struggles in Finding a Life Partner
With his family now seeking potential alliances for his marriage, he faces repeated rejections. The primary reason cited by prospective brides and their families is that he lacks major assets such as a large property or his own home. This has left him disheartened, especially since some rejections came from individuals earning far less than him. He wonders whether his sacrifices and financial milestones truly represent success or whether they hold little value in society\u2019s eyes.
The Dilemma of Self-Worth
His post reflects a deeper question about identity and accomplishment. While he feels proud of supporting his family and building a foundation for them, he struggles with self-doubt. The tension between family responsibilities and personal fulfillment leaves him wondering if he has shortchanged himself in the process. For someone who has contributed immensely to his loved ones\u2019 well-being, the lack of recognition in his personal journey is difficult to accept.Voices of Encouragement
Members of the online community rallied around him, offering reassurance. Many pointed out that property obsession is widespread in Indian arranged marriages and does not reflect his true worth. Indians and there obsession with property. You’re good, bro\u2014actually, more than good! Don’t sell yourself short, u surpass various parameters of being successful. Also, why would you want to marry someone who’s just looking for “big property” YOU reject them lol…” Read the comment. Commenters emphasized that he had already achieved remarkable success by exceeding multiple benchmarks of financial and personal responsibility. Some even shared their own experiences of facing rejection despite higher incomes, reminding him that the problem lies not with him but with unrealistic expectations. For them, his story is not one of inadequacy but of resilience and genuine achievement.
