From riches to rags - A silent affliction of our times

Of late, I've been listening to narratives of people in my consulting room which revolve around the race to chase extravagant and Hollywood/ Bollywood style lifestyles. These individuals are exposed to images, posts, videos and advertisements of lavish lifestyles on social media and experience a fear of missing out (FOMO), inferiority complex, self-pity and sadness.

No wonder such negative feelings pressurize them into overspending, risky investments, inflated credit card bills and big loans. The result is a huge financial mess. Hi! This is Pulkit Sharma. I'm a practicing clinical psychologist, psychoanalytic therapist, spiritual counselor and author since 2008. In my work with individuals suffering from this affliction, I encourage them to reflect deeply on what truly matters to them and change their financial strategies and spending habits in light of this knowledge. I've often seen that this small change in their mindset goes a long way in fostering a sense of financial wellness, security and long-term happiness.
