I've observed that many young men in Pakistan tend to prioritize staying in their family home and assisting with their father's small businesses or shops. While this setup provides a meager income, barely enough to make ends meet,many people face a difficult choice: paying their electricity bills often means they can no longer afford their grocery bills. I strongly disagree with this approach to depend on your father.
My concern is that these young individuals neglect to pursue higher education, establish their own careers, and acquire valuable skills that could potentially lead to better opportunities. Furthermore, they often overlook the possibility of immigrating to a first-world country, where they could enjoy a significantly improved lifestyle and earning potential – potentially 10 times more than their father's local business.
By focusing on personal growth, education, and career development, these young individuals could break the cycle of limited opportunities and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
A Concerning Trend Among Young Pakistani Men Abroad
I've observed a concerning trend among young men working abroad in countries like Australia, the UK, and the Middle East. Despite having seemingly lucrative jobs, they often propose marriage to women from their home country, Pakistan. The women's parents, enticed by the prospect of a prosperous son-in-law, readily agree to the union.
Initially, the marriage appears successful, with the couple having two or three children within the first few years. However, things take a turn for the worse when the husband decides to relocate back to Pakistan. Unfortunately, this decision often leads to a significant decline in their standard of living, marked by financial hardship and stress.
I strongly advise against this approach, where individuals prioritize short-term gains over long-term stability and happiness for their families. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to determine the best way to provide for their loved ones. They should carefully consider their decisions before leaving a well-settled life overseas and for me its cheating with your partner and their parents as well.
The Importance of Self-Sufficiency and Independence
Ultimately, strive to be the pillar of support for your loved ones, providing for their well-being and basic needs. This includes not only your parents but also your partner, children, and even vulnerable siblings and their families.
I urge everyone to adopt a mindset of self-sufficiency and independence. Avoid relying on others for financial support, especially elderly parents who have worked hard their entire lives. Instead, focus on building a healthy and sustainable lifestyle that brings dignity and fulfillment to yourself and those around you.
For instance, many Australian youths begin their earning journey through part-time jobs at the tender age of 16 or 18, thereby self-funding their education while also contributing to their family's expenses.
