I'm living here since birth and recently moved out from parents house as i didn't want them to take care of my food expenses anymore from their retirement savings. I've never had this moment of almost burning out my salary. Here's the breakdown

I earn 22k

stay: pg sharing(6k)

food: local mess food(spend 300 on avg everyday for 3 times food and 2 times coffee. sunday would be nonveg 500 as i dont eat other snacks ) so thats ~10k

commute and other ride: using my friend's bike. paying him 3k every month(including fuel)

electricity bill: 500-700 per month(after sharing. we use ironbox, water purifier, induction stove for boiling water, water heater, laptops and motor bill combined)

i had 12k in bank and the grave mistake i did was going on a 1 week trip for friend's marriage last month and burned 12k(coz it was my first trip after 7 months and i didnt book hotel in advance so messed up there by overpaying) while also using unpaid leave. The credited salary was 20k and i didnt even look at it and spent it all out. My bank is now at ₹200 with 2 days left for salary(hope bank holiday doesnt affect)
