[Thread] Grapeviners 🍇 earning less than Rs. 50k/month. How do you manage your expenses?
Very curious on understanding this from Grapevine. Really wish to understand how do you all think about managing funds.
@Peepee If that’s true then this might be the most exclusive club of this country. 😂
On a serious note

I had 53k in hand and I was living a pretty decent life while saving 15k-20k every month
Rent was 10k
Food 10k
Donations 6k

4k for Breakfast + Dinner (tiffin setup)

Everything is true except the part where you mentioned girls. There are no girls, it’s a lie spread by FBI.
They’re apache helicopter AH-64E with ‘Laser Protection System’ To Thwart Missile Attacks.

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.

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.

Not under 50 but slightly above, 14k rent, 15k food, 2-5 k miscellaneous, rest savings or travel, managing somehow but wish it was more.
I lived 2 years in BLR making 30k approx.
Rent- 8K and food went around 4k.
I cooked my own or had Nissin-sama supporting my hunger.
Spent a lot in some months, was frugal and tried to save 10k minimum per month.
Parties were usually Dutch dinners and avoided cover charge pubs with stags. Avoided any 'Dates' so I didn't go bankrupt unlike the rest of my brethren.
