There are basically 3 ways to manage your finances:
 
1. No assets No liability: Whatever is income gets used in expenses. Hardly any Investments and therefore throughout life no meaningful Asset gets created. 
 
2. Some assets and more liabilities: There always remains a shortfall, and inadequate Investment, therefore throughout life it's EMI servicing and by retirement some Physical assets are available. 
 
3. More Assets and less or No Liabilities: High Investment and these Investments become source of 2nd Income as well as asset creation. Post retirement no dependency, complete Independence. Also wealth gets transferred to next generation.
