Mari Kita Ulas!
Home Sweet Loan – Sebuah kisah dari sudut pandang orang dengan ekonomi menengah (cenderung ke bawah) di Indonesia.
Kaluna, anak perempuan bungsu usia 32 tahun yang bekerja sebagai budak corporate dengan gaji UMR satu digit memiliki keinginan untuk bisa membeli rumah cash di area Jakarta. Dengan gaji mepet UMR, Kaluna terbiasa untuk hidup berhemat seperti, membawa bekal, membawa tumblr, naik transportasi umum, hingga ia hanya punya dua sepatu. Namun, siapa sangka seorang dengan gaji segitu bisa menabung hingga tiga digit.
Tidak hanya berhenti pada lifestyle atau pemaparan bagaimana hematnya Kaluna dalam membuat keputusan keuangan. Namun, novel ini juga memaparkan bagaimana kehidupan pertemanan, percintaan, dan keluarga di usia kepala tiga. Banyak sekali topik-topik yang relate dengan kehidupan masa kini contohnya seperti fenomena sandwich generation, tinggal bareng mertua meski sudah menikah, long distance marriage, dan lain-lain. Selain dari segi kehidupan, novel ini juga memaparkan bagaimana sulit dan tricky-nya membeli sebuah rumah. Ada fenomena permasalahan sertifikat kepemilikan, permasalahan jarak rumah dan kantor, hingga apartemen murah tapi bekas pembunuh berantai.
Apakah Kaluna bisa membeli sebuah hunian?

Fun Fact!

Here Comes the Review!
Home Sweet Loan – A story from the point of view of a middle-income person in Indonesia.
Kaluna, a 32-year-old youngest daughter who works as a corporate slave with a single-digit UMR salary, has a desire to be able to buy a house in the Jakarta area with a cash payment system. With a salary of UMR, Kaluna is accustomed to living frugally, such as bringing lunch, carrying a tumblr, taking public transportation, until she only has two shoes. However, who would have thought that someone with such a salary could save up to three digits.
It doesn't just stop at lifestyle or how frugal Kaluna is in making financial decisions. However, this novel also describes friendship, romance, and family life at the age of thirty. There are so many topics that relate to today's life, such as the sandwich generation phenomenon, living with in-laws despite being married, long distance marriage, and others. Apart from the life aspect, this novel also explains how difficult and tricky it is to buy a house. There is the phenomenon of ownership certificate problems, problems with the distance between home and office, to cheap apartments but it is a former serial killer’s house.
Can Kaluna buy a house?
Inside Nora’s Mind
I really like this novel and story, because it raises many issues of life, finance, and romance at the age of 30. It also taught me to realize the importance of saving money.
I finished this novel in just three days, because in terms of narration, it is very cool, not boring, and we know exactly what Kaluna thinks and feels. I highly recommend you to read it especially when you are in your 20s, this book can be a notice for you to be wiser in finances.
A Star From Nora!
