I stay in blr. Depends on location but for two people you can get decent space for 40k groceries and food max 20 k , so food shelter clothing max 70k per month or make it 10 lakhs per annum to live conveniently.
Also includes gym subscription, educational courses.
What about rest of the money..... Of the rest 50% in
Real estate,
gold,
mutual fund
Company stocks
Other stocks
Other 50% in FD ( conservative profile)
Company takes care of health insurance and retirement (pf amounts to good savings)
Income to savings ratio: very low, if I put the actual number ,gives away the salary.
Other ways to burn money
I was earlier tempted but didn't give in to the following
- Have seen relatives/friends do it and spend more money
- Buying extravagant houses on loans
- Expensive cars ( i know someone who spent all savings on a Benz and takes 2 wheeler now to save on petrol and traffic)
- Partying
- Sins
