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. The video has resonated with many viewers, leading to discussions about the high cost of living in urban areas and the financial pressures young professionals face. Some viewers questioned whether his expenses were excessive or merely reflective of life in a city like Gurugram.
