You need 700$/month to have a decent hacker life in Banagladesh? Wow.
I am originally from a second tier city called Surat in India. I think I can have a very comfortable life in 400$. Here's the breakdown (all costs in Indian Rupees):
Monthly Rent for 1 Bedroom: Approx 4000
Internet: 2,000 (Not the fastest but hey, we are not hosting servers from the bedroom)
Food: 1,500 (50 Rupees per day (eating out) for 30 days)
Others (Gas (Petrol)/Clothes/Entertainment/Electricity etc.): 3,500 (A rough estimate)
Total: 11,000 INR, approx 250 USD, I am still left over with 150$.
- nileshtrivedi 16y agoI live in Mumbai with the same overall budget. Except that rent is double but I save on petrol and internet. :)
- raheemm 16y agoThe cost goes up because rent in Dhaka is relatively higher. The other thing that kicks up the cost is the internet and backup electricity fees ($100 - $200/month). Other parts of Bangladesh are much more affordable but then the internet is not so great there.
- sundarurfriend 16y agoHow do you eat out and still spend only 50 rupees on food? Here in Bangalore I'd be hard pressed to keep it under 100, and it usually reaches near 150 rupees.
- solutionyogi 16y agoI am talking about Surat (my hometown) and not Bangalore. Also, I am assuming that you would not eat at a high end restaurant. Heck, I was in Mangalore for a year and I think I can eat out every day for 50 bucks a day which will include breakfast/lunch/dinner.
