Salary 27k/month in Bangalore - how to manage?

[Shekar]

27k isn't enough to live in Bangalore. Can anyone suggest how to manage for a family of three?

[Jasmin]

₹27k for three people in Bangalore is barely survivable unless rent is free. Are you staying with family or sharing? Without free housing you'll need a second income or roommates.

[Bhavana]

Send your parents or wife to the village and stay alone in a cheap PG.

[Khushi]

What's your job? Who lives with you and where are they from?

[Yamini]

Consider a delivery partner job with Swiggy, Zomato or Porter.

[Kamal]

You can manage by staying in a simple room, using public transport, getting a BPL card, enrolling your mother in government schemes, keeping her Aadhaar separate, using old-age pension, traveling on BMTC, shopping at local markets and Avenue Road, and living frugally. ₹27k can feel enough until you move up. All the best.

[Raghav]

₹27k for a family of three in Bangalore is really tough, so don't feel bad if saving seems hard right now. Focus on keeping expenses low - look for cheap rent in outer areas or shared housing, cook at home and buy groceries from local markets, use BMTC buses for travel. Even a small amount saved each month can help with emergencies. In the long run, increasing your income through skill upgrades, side work or a better job will make a big difference. Stay steady; many improve gradually. Wishing you and your family the best.
