Just wanna know from people who are ere earning a mimmum of 60,000 .


How much do you get after TAX in hand and how much r u guys able to save and a brief details of expenses as well.

I was just calculated the other day and came to conclusion that u need to earn a mimimum of 70,000 in order to save 10 lakh indian ($ 30,000 )approx; maintain a decent lifestyle and run a family of 4 but after speaking to some people they said that its not even possible to save that amount even after earning that amount.

Thought the wonderful people on this wonderful forum will throw some light on this issue.

That is when even after earning a good salary, you live lower middle class life. According to me, two cars will cost you a minimum of $1000 per month (lease, insurance and running cost), and house/apt rent with all related expenses minimum 1,500 per month. That alone will take away 30,000! Even if you take away one car, it means your spouce and children do not have a vehicle of their own to go to work, shopping, project work, extra curricular activities etc. that will reduce the expense by about 5,000 pa, but will mean you are not living the way you could, or in my personal opinion, should, with that kind of salary!

And other household expenses should be atleast 10,000 p.a. to the BARE minimum!

So calculate again - and see what kind of life you will have to lead to be able to save $30k on earnings of 70k gross!

I agree with Chandresh. I am getting around 60K, saves almost nothing and I dont see much opportunities for any increase in my salaries in the coming years as I am getting stagnated in my present position now and the level above me is generally occupied by Goras.

Any one who is already saving that amount of $ 30000 a year ; please remember my question is meant that at what earnings and after a decent lifestyle you can save the amount mentioned earlier.

For Chandresh

If you are earning that amount why shouldn't one opt for house as you get appreciation as compensation for the mortgage intrest and other heat ,hydro etc expenses.

I would also say 2 cars is needed but then i know Chandresh's son is almost my age so he is giving his perspective ; wheras the family in my mind is A couple middle aged with 2 Kids in thier 5-13 range .so That family can also do with just one car as well ;thats probably a small adjustment that we make.
