Well, these insights are inaccurate, I am 19 years old man, lol boy, My father has a mere income of ₹50,000 per month and we tend to save ₹20,000 every month, we are a family of 4! I think it depends on a family how they plan to spend the money! We are budget loving family haha! I know people who spend more than ₹100,000 though they are 2 people. So it depends on the person.

Do try and include the new booming clothing businesses like Zudio, Easy Buy, Style Union, Style Up which have a way cheaper rate than the clothes in shops like the ones mentioned in here. You get basic sports shoes for like 500 to 600 rupees in Zudio which is durable as well. Just a suggestion as a lot of people now consider these franchises as their go to clothing shops in Hyderabad as you will see a lot of them in each corner, just like Bangkok has Seven Elevens in every street.

I felt the Expenses List is Correct or at least near to Reality. 10% + or - variation would be there. These Expenses listed are not for High-Income Groups. These are for Middle and upper-middle-class groups...This is my Observation. The Opinion might vary from Person to Person based on their Incomes & Expenditure Structure.

Hi Rajiv, Referring to your post on Apr 08, 2021, please do give a breakup of your cost. How many family members, children, school fees, rent and other costs. Do share money saving ideas as well.
Rajiv on Apr 08, 2021:
The above mentioned cost of living is not correct.

I'm leading a happy life along with my family in Hyderabad with 20k per month. My salary was 30000 per month and i saved 8k per month without any problem. We had good food and monthly one time movie or dinner and house (on rent) iin a decent locality.

Hyderabad is a place where 10000 per month may seem sufficient for a family and 100000 is also not sufficient if you cant manage properly
