I wouldn’t call India a “rich” country in the traditional sense… but honestly, sometimes it feels like everyone around me is loaded 😅

Like seriously — where is all this money coming from?

Everywhere you look:

Roads full of SUVs

Cafés and restaurants always packed

People spending like it’s nothing

Meanwhile, the usual narrative is “developing country,” “middle income,” etc.

Is this just:

A small percentage of people creating a visible illusion of wealth?

Easy credit/EMI culture making everyone look richer than they are?

Or is there actually way more money flowing around than we think?

Genuinely curious what others think. Anyone else noticing this?
