I’m a college student from India and I’ve been thinking a lot about buying a bike for daily college and city use. I currently have around ₹25K saved, but the used bikes I’m looking at are around ₹70K.

The thing is, I really want a bike because it would make daily life easier and save time, but I’m also trying to think practically and not make a dumb financial decision emotionally.

Right now I don’t have a stable income, but I do have some skills:

- WordPress development

- Basic web/full-stack development

- SEO

- Video editing

- Some freelancing experience

I’m trying to figure out:

- Should I buy an older cheaper bike first?

- Should I wait and save more?

- Or should I fully focus on earning money before thinking about a bike?

Also, for people earning online as students, what worked best for you realistically? Local clients, freelancing, editing, outreach, internships, etc.?

Would appreciate honest advice from people with real experience.
