The recently-released Netflix documentary highlights the financial struggles faced by four families, reflecting the common problems many people encounter when managing their finances. These issues include inadequate savings, mounting debt, financial struggles before starting a family, living paycheck-to-paycheck, and being clueless about savings required for a smooth and timely retirement. Although the problems depicted in the documentary are characteristic of young middle-class urban American households, they are also prevalent among their young Indian counterparts living in big cities.
