Seriously Bengaluru with just 50k monthly expenses 🫡 Guess you are single, if not you can start a side business to teach others on how you contain your exps

Bro where do you live at 20K ? And this amount doesn't add upto 240K. And we don't use K in India. Also depends on your net worth. Equity contribution is too low. Hope plot pays for that

I think you can reduce some expenses here.
Here is my calculation. My salary 55k married
8000 Rent, 4000 Household Items 12500 investment in gold. 10000 Emergency fund saving. 8000 Sending to family.
And still I save some 5000 every month. Which I purchase some Jewellery items.
