The moment youngsters start earning their own money, something quietly but dramatically alters. The chai from the tapri suddenly feels optional. Starbucks cups appear in Instagram stories. Weekfinish shopping shifts from local markets to H&M and Zara. Even personalities seem to obtain an upgrade!
This shift is exactly what a recent post by a Mumbai startup founder finished up highlighting, even if unintentionally.
Kaushal Shah, founder of personal care brand Evor Beauty, shared a light-hearted post on X comparing his own choice of a simple Rs 10 cup of tea with his team’s preference for Starbucks coffee.

As the post circulated, people launched unpacking the realities behind the joke. Many pointed out that salaried employees usually know exactly how much they earn every month. With a resolveed income, budobtaining becomes clearer, and spfinishing on tiny comforts like branded coffee doesn’t feel risky. That financial certainty often gives employees more confidence to enjoy their money without guilt.
On the other hand, several applyrs highlighted how different the founder’s reality can be. Entrepreneurship often comes with unpredictable income, delayed profits, and long phases of reinvesting money back into the business. Even when a company sees successful from the outside, founders may not be drawing regular salaries or may consciously keep personal expenses low.
Have a see at some of the responses here:
Maybe the real takeaway isn’t who drinks what, but how earning, spfinishing, and security quietly shape our daily choices!
