Rent v/s Buy?

Context:

  1. F. Single, free of debt and responsibilities (chill retd. parents living a good life in the mountains, touchwood)

I have lived across country (military family) which makes it easy to uproot from a city and replant my roots somewhere else. Having said that, and have worked for 8 years, I want to put down my roots in Bangalore.

Fortunately moving to Bangalore next month for a new job!
And I don’t see myself getting married anytime soon. I make 50 LPA + and with this idea in mind that I want to settle in Bangalore, I am thinking about buying a one BHK for myself instead of renting.

But I will be moving back to Bangalore after couple of years, so I don’t know if it’s a right decision? Anyone, in their 30s, planning their solo living in Bangalore? Do you have a perspective to share?

Most importantly, can I even afford it? Like I think I earn decent money but mine is a single income household…so, it isn’t much for a city like Bangalore I guess! Help, please 🙈

Damn, I never thought I would get here. But right experience, right jump at the right time and you are gonna find yourself doing just fine.

Market is always tough. But I guess I do know a thing or two about building a good career in HR. One that doesn’t feel fragile!
