The cost of maintaining a particular lifestyle can vary sharply from one city to another, even when people have similar monthly budgets. A comparison shared online by three individuals has highlighted those differences by showing what their monthly spending could afford in Delhi, Singapore and Bengaluru’s Indiranagar.
While one person described an Rs 8 lakh monthly budget as enough to enjoy an ultra-luxurious lifestyle in Delhi, another said the same amount could largely go towards basic household expenses in Singapore. A third comparison looked at a much smaller monthly budget of Rs 78,500 in Indiranagar, Bengaluru, where rent and everyday expenses still accounted for a significant share of the income.
