so would you say 800K/ month for a couple?

Rs. 250,000 or up, for a family depending on their lifestyle

Yes, some of my friends` are living comfortably even with a single child with about 700k to 1 mil.

Not super flashy, but comfortably. Like, they dont worry about car maintenance + fuel OR running AC at home kind of comfortable. They go away for the weekend at least once a month.

Single - have a house

Your view is relative to what you think is happiness. okata satha 5k wat salli natuwa karanna puluwan. hodatama chill eke inna ayata oya mokut natuwa sathutin innawa in slow village life

Bills - only phone bill
Hotel - Again relative - if you really want cinnamon grand 10000
health insurance - your job will provide. or else stay healthy
Petrol - 0 - all electric
food - most veg come from home garden although space is small in city limits / groceries about 10000-12000

less than 50000 is enough. live more comfy with some cloths and recreational 1lak is enough

if you have kim-k / l malinga mindset then 45 lak salary is not enough to live comfy
