DELHI INDIAN

As you have mentioned you are Delhi - Indian and based on the past record of Delhi Indians the following will be a accurate expense report.

1.Accomodation: sharing a basement and hence will cost about $350 pm.

2.Telephone: Cell: $ 30 pm; India: $20pm on calling cards:$ 50 pm.

3.Food:$350 pm(Non-Veg included).

4.Bus Pass: $100 pm.

5.Incidentals: $ 150 pm which includes clothing, soap, toothpaste and related toiletries and other incidentals.

6.If you would like to enjoy the night life, recreation, week end trips add another $250pm conservatively.

You should budget at around $1500 per month safely.

Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.

Thanks Vandematram for your reply.

Please suggest if I don't choose basement apartment and how much cost will get added to that. Also, If I only work 8 hours a day for five days a week on hourly paid job till the time I get a permanent job, will I be able to manage these expenses?

Yes, I would like to spend some money for recreation like eating out, pubs, movies etc.

Thanks in advance.

1500 $ if you are slumming it.

5000 $ for a good life.
