As 2026 is approaching and keeping in view the financial worries of salaried, most salaried individuals will be planning the same financial strategies as in the ongoing year 😀😃

Out of 25 crore, Pakistan has only 1.8 lakh legitimate Upper class people. The rest are thriving on gray economy. The way out: Digitize the economy & kill the bank notes. Courtesy:Amer Sharif

Also, add this additional levy of Rs. 5, in the name of a carbon levy, to your calculations of easy money :)

Amer Sharif People talk about salaries but real class changer is generational wealth . A person with generational wealth earning 200k is usually better off than a self made 400k earner
