Parents forcing loan on son? 24-year-old techie says father wants a new home, but not the solution he has

A 24-year-old IT professional from Noida has turned to Reddit after facing pressure from his parents to take a home loan for a bigger house. While his family wants to move out of their cramped 1BHK, the techie is resisting long-term EMI commitments due to health concerns, career uncertainty and his goal of early financial independence. He has proposed a rental-based alternative, but his father remains opposed to living in a rented home.
