- stfwn 8y agoNice to see a non-US/EU contribution. What is the middle class cost of living in your area?
- hashhar 8y agoI live in a slightly upper class area in Gurgaon since it's walking distance to my workplace and hence save on commute. Rent and expenses is almost 30k INR (roundabout $450) a month. Apart from that it's all takeout food money and any movies or shopping you might do. My initial pay was a little too low to afford the place I am living at since I'd almost always run out of money by the end of the month and was living paycheck to paycheck. The first raise did improve situations a bit and I could easily save around 10k INR per month. My current salary affords me very comfortable living with enough to invest for the future and still have around 30k INR per month in savings.
