An Indian content creator has gone viral after sharing his journey from being unemployed after graduation to buying a million-dollar home in Australia more than a decade later.

In a video, Deven laid out a timeline of his life, highlighting the setbacks, financial struggles and years of hard work that eventually led to success.

He graduated in 2011 but remained jobless for a year. While his parents supported him during that period, he said the guilt of depending on them weighed heavily on him.

In 2012, he moved to Australia to pursue a master's degree. However, money became a challenge soon after, and he did not want to continue relying on his parents for financial support.

To make ends meet between 2012 and 2014, Deven took up a series of odd jobs. These included working at a car wash, where he said he earned $90 for a nine-hour shift without a lunch break. He also worked as a cleaner and kitchen hand while completing his studies.

Despite earning a master's degree in 2014, finding a stable and well-paying job did not come easily. He continued struggling through 2015 before finally landing what he described as his dream job in 2016.

The years that followed marked a turning point. Between 2017 and 2022, Deven said he continued working hard and received multiple promotions.

By 2023, he had purchased his dream car and acquired multiple investment properties. A year later, he achieved another milestone by buying a million-dollar house.

Reflecting on his journey, Deven shared a message for those going through difficult phases in life.

"Your story isn't over. Sometimes, it's just on a different timeline," he said.

The video resonated with many viewers, who praised his perseverance and determination.

"Definition of never giving up. After all, for that you need a strong mentality," one user commented.

Another simply wrote, "Proud of you."

The video has since drawn attention from people inspired by Deven's account of persistence through years of uncertainty before achieving financial success.
