The costs I'm bearing are Pg rent : 11k (two sharing) Commute : 3-3.5k I want to stay near by office, so I have scouted a fully furnished 1rk in halasuru which is 1km from office and the costs I'll bearing are Rent : 12k Deposit : 30k Wifi : 700 Renovation charges : 12k at the time of vacating Note : I might look for job change based on appraisal in April (not at all sure) So which will be better option for me, I feel like living alone and independently and pg started to feel like a jail to me.

Fresher, 1st job. Getting 12 LPA before deductions. Wanted to know how is it and what type of lifestyle I would be able to afford. Fellow Grapeviners earning similar, how do your expenses look and how much do you save?

Similar to title, looking for stuff like paintings, flower pots, random tech toys etc. Any cool stuff any of you own and recommend?

Hello good people of grapevine, I have recently started my full-time job as a software engineer, and wanted to start my journey into investing. After doing a bit of research, I feel SIPs in mutual funds is the way to go forward at this point. For now I want to start putting 20k into MF SIPs every month. I took a look at a few MFs which were very high risk but over a period of 3-5 years yielded great returns (50%) as well. While the low to moderate risk MFs yielded low returns (5%). Though the risk is high, but seeing stable returns over a large period of time, how safe is it to invest in very high risk MFs and not incur losses? Any other advice is also thoroughly appreciated Thanks fellow grapeviners. risk appetite: moderate to high investment horizon: 5-10 years

I am shifting Sarjapur to a 1bhk flat, don't have much furniture other than a mattress and cooking essentials. I want to know if it makes sense to purchase or rent as I'm not thinking of staying in the same flat for more than a year. I will be living alone with friends crashing over the weekends sometimes. If you know some place nearby Sarjapur for renting stuff cheap or any help setting things up is appreciated. I have only checked on rentmojo (seems the best option as of now), furlenco (expensive).

If you are living in PG in Bangalore please share your expense and experience

so sharks..... I'm looking for a single room in a pre-occupied 2/3/4 BHK flat in HSR/Koramangala/Bellandur. Open to other areas on case by case basis. I need to vacate my current flat by the end of March. Budget: <=20k, preferably around 15-18k 😅 A bit about me: I'm a male in his late 20s. like and comment for Karma 😀 PS: let's see GV's potential for flat hunting.

Very curious on understanding this from Grapevine. Really wish to understand how do you all think about managing funds.

I am moving in banglore and will be earning plenty, around 1.6 lakhs per month. But some friends are suggesting me to book a pg for some days until you find the perfect apartment with good flatmates. I don't want to live alone in 1bhk flat. It will be my first time on a onsite job. Please guide me how can I mange this. Company is giving me first 2 weeks of hotel stay
