Financial Overview & Income
📌 The individual's current in-hand income is ₹96,000 per month after all deductions.
🏠 Rent for the 3BHK is ₹21,670 per person (shared among three people).
🍜 Monthly expenditure on ordering food and dining out is approximately ₹18,000 to ₹21,000.

Expense Analysis & Red Flags
🚨 Fixed expenses, including insurance, rent, food, and cabs, consume almost 70% to 80% of the salary, leaving little disposable income.
📱 The latest iPhone purchase is classified as a luxury, not a need, despite the user preferring the iOS ecosystem.
💳 The individual has six credit cards and is carrying an unsecured debt of close to ₹1.2 Lakh, largely accumulated from clearing old card EMIs with a personal loan.

Insurance Portfolio Review
🛡️ The person has multiple insurance plans, including a corporate plan (₹5 Lakh cover) and three individual policies (one Star Health, one with a ₹10 Lakh cover, and one ULIP with a ₹10 Lakh cover).
📉 The total annual premium paid for these policies is around ₹1.38 Lakh, representing about 15% of the annual income.
🚫 The financial advisor strongly recommends canceling all policies except for the core health and term insurance, as ULIPs and non-linked plans yield returns lower than Fixed Deposits (FDs) and lock away significant capital.

Actionable Debt Repayment & Spending Control Strategies
🚗 If the individual moves closer to the office, the monthly cab expense of ₹10,000–₹11,000 could be reduced to ₹3,000, potentially clearing the debt in 10 months.
🛑 The most crucial step is to stop using all credit cards for at least six months to one year to curb overspending associated with rewards/cashback.
🍳 If the individual stops paying for the cook/house help (₹4,500/month) and controls food ordering (saving roughly ₹4,000/month), this amount can be used to clear the debt faster.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Track all expenses rigorously for one month using only UPI transactions, categorizing each as 'Avoidable' or 'Necessary' to identify unnecessary outflow, estimated to be ₹30,000 to ₹35,000 monthly.
➡️ Immediately cancel non-essential insurance policies (ULIPs/linked plans), freeing up about ₹1 Lakh annually which should be saved instead of locked away.
➡️ Acknowledge that the current debt situation has persisted for 5 years due to prioritizing comfort zone spending (e.g., specific food preferences) over debt clearance.
