Thinking of buying a bike? Start with your salary, not your emotions. Here’s the truth most people ignore: If your bike costs more than 4–6 months of your salary, you’re not buying freedom… you’re buying pressure. Before you decide, ask yourself: • Can I pay the EMI without stress? • Can I still save at least 20% of my income? • Can I afford fuel, insurance, and maintenance comfortably? If the answer is “no” to even one of these… pause. A good rule: 👉 Keep total EMI under 15% of your monthly income 👉 Never compromise your savings for a lifestyle upgrade Because a bike should give you peace on the road… not anxiety at the end of every month.
