A 26-year-old corporate employee has shared a detailed breakdown of her September expenses while living in Bengaluru , giving a glimpse into how quickly everyday costs can add up. From rent and food to travel, subscriptions and shopping, her monthly spending covered several categories.
She usually has breakfast and lunch at the office, which helps her save on food during the day. Dining out and food delivery, however, added considerably to her expenses. For dinner, she shares the cost of a cook with her flatmates, spending around ₹ 2,000. Her share of groceries was another ₹ 3,000. She also spends ₹ 1,000 on her share of a house help for cleaning and other chores.

Meanwhile, one person compared the expenses with their own budget, saying, “Damn bro, I’m literally spending ₹ 5K in the whole month of September, including room rent, food and other expenses in Bangalore.”
