What I’d Do If I Had ₹0 at 20 Years Old in India
If I were 20 with zero money, I wouldn’t chase money first.
I’d chase skills.
Money follows value. So I’d learn something that solves real problems—communication, sales, writing, design, coding, fitness coaching, video editing. Something people are willing to pay for.
I’d take internships, even unpaid ones, just to understand how work actually happens. I’d build projects, not certificates. Results speak louder than resumes.
I’d control expenses brutally. No lifestyle inflation. No showing off. Save whatever comes in.
I’d read more than I scroll. Learn from people ahead of me. Make mistakes early while the cost is low.
At 20, time is the real wealth.
Use it wisely—and money eventually listens.
