The Daily Hassles

Living in a middle-class family often means watching every penny. Think about it:

Monthly bills keep piling up

School fees need to be paid

Taxes take a big chunk

Basic needs must be met

After all this, there’s usually nothing left for fun things like family trips or outings.

When Education Dreams Meet Reality

Many parents dream of giving their children the best education. But here’s what usually happens:

They need to take loans from banks

Monthly payments (EMIs) become a burden

Interest keeps piling up

Bank calls and reminders become stressful

What the Child Sees

Imagine being a child in this situation:

You see your parents working hard day and night

You know they’re doing it all for you

You want to help but don’t know how
