Hi everyone, I need some honest advice before making a big financial decision.
I’m considering a government home loan scheme for a house worth around 60 lacs, with an EMI of about 60k/month for 10 years.
Here’s my family situation:
- We are 4 people in the house
- My father can support household expenses, but probably only for the next 5 years
- My brother is a police officer earning ~51k/month, and currently can’t save much
- One sibling just started a business (no stable income yet)
- I’m a 2nd-year Software Engineering student, earning around 150k/month remotely, and can save about 100k/month — but my income is not fully stable
Current rent: 30k/month
So effectively:
- New EMI = 60k
- Rent saved = 30k
- Extra burden = +30k/month
Plan:
- Me + my brother contribute 20k each
- House ownership would be in my name
My concerns:
- My income is good now, but not guaranteed long-term
- Family income is not very stable overall
- Big commitment for 10 years while I’m still studying
- If something goes wrong, EMI pressure could become serious
