‘What will you do once you have children?’

More than Rs 10,000 is spent every month on life, health and car insurance alone. The cost of medicines is separate, and if children are born, the cost of their school fees, tuition and extra activities will be added, then there will be a separate shock of Rs 20 thousand.

Cost of living in NCR is insane. I am not able to crunch numbers how a couple can live within 50-60k a month. How people who are not making 1lakh/month are able to meet the expenses. I am kind of a minimalist and cost of living a bare minimum life is 85-95k each month for two.
