What is Financial Diabetes? Do you have financial diabetes in Financial Planning

In this Hindi YouTube monologue, Yogendra Kumar Malik introduces the metaphor "financial diabetes" to describe a common financial condition in India where a person's income rises but their net wealth does not, because lifestyle inflation (new phones, cars, etc.) consumes the extra earnings. He explains that the "symptoms" are a growing paycheck paired with an empty bank account. The "prescription" he offers mirrors the habits of the rich: as income increases, allocate a larger portion to investments before any celebratory spending. He contrasts this with the typical behavior of many people who celebrate first and invest later, leaving little left to save. Malik emphasizes that financial diabetes is a widespread problem in India and urges viewers to adopt the invest‑first, celebrate‑later approach to manage, reduce, and eventually eliminate the condition. He signs off as a "financial doctor" and invites the audience to comment and watch his next video on another "financial disease."
