Indians Prefer Child Education Over Marriage When It Comes To Saving Money

Over 37 per cent of the voters chose child education as the main reason they would be saving money for.

New Delhi: While the pandemic forever changed the definition of what is deemed ‘normal’, it also brought to focus the unpredictability of life and the importance of saving up for a rainy day. Million of people around the world suffered sudden job losses or financial instability, making it abundantly clear that it is always good to have some extra cash in the bank. In India especially, children’s marriage is on top of parents mind when it comes to saving money. But things are changing it seems.

With the same question in mind, Rohit Chadda- CEO Digital Publishing for Zee Group- recently conducted a Twitter poll asking users what do they save their hard-earned money for? Given the Indian society’s primary structure, desi parents are expected to look after their children till they’re financially stable. The societal trend demands that parents save money for marriages, upbringing and education of their offspring.  But surprisingly, it was not children’s marriage that was on top of parents agenda when it came to saving money.

Take a look at the poll results where it was asked: What is it that you save your money for? Is it for your children’s education or wealth building or rather unseen emergencies?
