Just trying to do the math. I googled and saw that the average Zomato delivery boy earns 20K a month. So I guess the standard of living for a junior lawyer with that stipend will be similar to that of a Zomato delivery boy? I would calculate that as follows:
- living in a shared room in a PG or slum at Rs 11K a month, including price for gas and filtered water
- Rs 4K a month on bread, milk, vegetables and Parle G biscuits: maybe chicken/meat/fish once a month
- Rs 500 a month on bathing and toiletries (can bathe on alternate days to save costs)
- Rs 1,000 to 2,000 a month on transport, depending on location
- Rest on mobile bills, emergencies etc.
Works?
