Every middle-class Indian dad has two superpowers.
He can calculate the electricity bill without looking at the meter.
And he can turn a simple shopping request into a full family budget meeting. ๐
Arjun: “Dad, I need a new laptop for college.”
Ramesh: “How much?”
Arjun: “Around โน60,000.”
Ramesh: “Does it come with a job offer?” ๐ญ๐ป
But here’s the thing about middle-class dads.
They’ll question every expense, compare prices across ten websites, visit three shops and negotiate like they’re buying an entire building.
And somehow, they’ll still find a way to get you what you genuinely need. โค๏ธ
Ramesh finally found a laptop deal that worked for their budget.
Arjun got his laptop.
Ramesh got the satisfaction of saving a few thousand rupees.
Both went home happy. ๐
Because behind every dad asking “Is this really necessary?” there’s someone quietly trying to give his family a better life.
What’s the funniest thing your dad has ever said about spending money? ๐
