Shivank Goel, a 25-year-old product manager living alone in Gurugram, shared a detailed breakdown of his monthly expenses in a viral Instagram reel, revealing that he spends nearly ₹90,000 each month. His rent for a 2BHK apartment is ₹18,000, which he considers a good deal in the city. He also spends ₹2,000 on household expenses, ₹1,000 on electricity, and around ₹3,000 on internet and phone bills. Notably, he incurs no commuting or food costs as his workplace covers these expenses. However, he spends ₹5,000 on groceries and protein powder and invests ₹20,000 monthly through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs). A significant portion of his budget, ₹30,000, went towards a trip, which he humorously described as a shock upon reviewing his bank statement.
