Step-by-step: How to upgrade your lifestyle with a personal loan


Here’s a simple guide to walk you through it:

Step 1: Identify what luxury lifestyle upgrade you want.

Step 2: Set a clear budget based on your goal.

Step 3: Check your loan eligibility online with IDFC FIRST Bank.

Step 4: Apply for a FIRSTmoney personal loan online.

Step 5: Get approval and quick disbursement of funds.

Step 6: Use the funds for your planned lifestyle upgrade.

How to manage your personal loan responsibly


Living a luxury lifestyle isn’t just about knowing how to spend—it’s also about knowing how to manage your money wisely. Comfort today should never become a burden tomorrow. That’s where smart debt management steps in.

If you're planning to take a loan or already have one, here are some practical steps that can help you stay in control and make the most of it:

  1. Borrow only what you truly need—don’t be tempted to take more just because you’re eligible
  2. Choose a repayment plan that fits your income so equated monthly instalments (EMI) stay manageable each month
  3. List out exactly what the loan will cover and stick to that plan to avoid overspending
  4. Use personal loan EMI calculators and payment reminders to stay on track
  5. Always pay EMIs on time to protect your credit score and build a strong financial profile
  6. Avoid taking multiple loans at the same time—focus on managing one loan well
  7. If possible, make early repayments using bonuses or extra income; FIRSTmoney charges no penalties for this

A luxury lifestyle doesn’t mean losing financial control. In fact, true indulgence is having choices. It includes staying in charge of your finances while enjoying the benefits of your lifestyle upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can taking a personal loan in my 20s affect my credit score?

Yes, it can—but whether that effect is positive or negative depends on how you manage the loan. Timely repayments build a strong credit history, which helps when applying for bigger loans in the future. Missing EMIs or overborrowing can harm your score. Always borrow responsibly.

How do I know if I’m borrowing too much for a lifestyle upgrade?

A good rule is to keep your EMI under 30–40% of your monthly income. If loan repayments are leaving you short on essentials or savings, you may be stretching too far. Use a personal loan EMI calculator from IDFC FIRST Bank to check what amount fits your budget before applying.

Is it better to save up or take a loan for luxury upgrades?

It depends on your priorities and timeline. If the upgrade improves your daily life or is time-sensitive (like a wedding or relocation), a loan can be useful. For non-urgent goals, saving up may be smarter. Balance both by setting clear short-term and long-term goals.
