I live in trivandrum with my in-laws and one child. The data here is entirely different from reality. Our expenses does not exceed more than 45000/- rs, including my son's monthly fees and transportation.and trust me, we do spend good amount of money for meat and fish every month. But still this much is more than enough for our family. I think you should do some more research and change the data'accordingly.

I have a 55,250 INR as monthly salary. I have a 4 member family. Our expense for food per month is just 9000 INR. Expenses for education to children is about 6000 INR. All other expenses can limited to 5000 INR. If any more spending more is for luxury. I am very happy and comfortable in Thiruvananthapuram.
