Woman Hospitalised by Burnout Saves ₹7.2 Lakh Before Quitting Corporate Job

A 33-year-old woman, Ria, was hospitalised due to burnout before resigning from her corporate job, saving ₹7.2 lakh over 18 months to build a financial safety net. She now earns through four income streams. Ria, who worked up to 15-hour days for about 10 years, cut monthly expenses aggressively, saving ₹40,000 per month. She eliminated restaurant meals, subscriptions, and new shopping, and reduced weekend trips and social events to reach her goal. Some social media users questioned her decision to skip family events and gatherings, arguing human connections are important. Ria’s claims, shared on Instagram, have not been independently verified.
