Kartik does not know how much MONEY he has

This lack of knowledge about his financial status sometimes frustrates Kartik. He admitted, sometimes he get angry also and asks his mother, "ki aap kisi bhi cheez mein allow nahi karte ho" (You don’t allow me to buy anything). It extends beyond significant purchases like a car to even smaller expenses like restaurant bills. He shared an example, saying that if his bill is too high, she would call and ask, ‘Itna khaana kaise khaaya jab diet pe ho’" (How did you eat so much despite being on a diet)?
