Was earning 40k in Mumbai in 2019 13.5k room rent (attached bathroom dual sharing, 4 more girls in other rooms) 4k for Breakfast + Dinner (tiffin setup) 3k for Lunch 2k for transport (mostly sharing hence less) Miscellaneous cost for eating out, being touristy (no parties) Saved 10-12k

@ArchGamer0 Ah this privilege I really miss now.
@salt konsi privilege? bhot mushkil tha interview 💀
I lived in a PG for 2 months in 2019 (Stayed in rajapark Jaipur walked few kms for internship) 5k pg rent 3k food tiffin 2k misc (wifi/water tanker/cleaner tips)
Thankfully first job was remote shifted back home, living alone in different city with minimum money was eye-opening.
Till very recently I was earning 40k per month. Eat at home only. Groceries 5k.
Travel by bus and auto 2k.
Run on the roads for exercise.
12 k rent.
2.5k cleaner+cook.
Travel fund used to be filled every 2 months. 3k
15.5k savings and emergency fund
My first salary was 20k/month in 2020.
Very difficult. Teaches a lot about managing expenses.
I used to stay in a PG - 9500(double sharing, only recommended if you already know the person you are living with. Makes mental peace less of a concern)
Utilities - 2000-3000 max.
Used to spend on whatever was absolutely necessary.
Limited going out, ordering take out, and other non necessary stuff.
Education loan - 5000
Rest for emergency funds and savings.
This was in Bangalore. Was in Indiranagar back then.
That’s right. You’ve certainly cracked the code.
