IIT KHARAGPUR ALUM BREAKS DOWN FAMILY OF 4'S COST OF LIVING IN METRO CITY: '20 LAKH PER YEAR'

An Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur alum recently took to social media to share the expenses incurred by a family of four living in a metro city and broke down the costs incurred, from the lowest to the highest expense.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the man shared an image of the different expenses incurred, the lowest being for men grooming that costed Rs 200 per month to the highest expense, incurred on house rent, that came up to Rs 35,000 per month.

The man's post saw a lot of user comments. While some agreed with his views, others chose to have a differing opinion.

"You are bang on. It is the minimum, I guess," one user wrote.

"We live in a metro city i.e. Mumbai. Family of 4 on yearly money of seven lakh, including everything. I don't have a car. It depends on what you choose. I can say spending 20L per year covers a luxurious life, contradicting your tweet," another user wrote.

"Travel is a necessity after marriage. Dog (expense) is just 6k, ignore it. OTT+movie is just 1k per month, you can ignore it as well," a third user wrote.
