In a social media post, the man detailed that he was relocating to Mysuru in Karnataka, alongside his wife and eight-year-old child, despite not being a native. A family of three moving back to India from Canada has sought the internet’s help to assess whether they will be able to lead a comfortable life in the country with a monthly budget of Rs 1.5 lakh.
“How hard is it to get into schools like Excel Public School? “If you love clean air, water, and coconut trees, would you recommend living around KRS Road/Cauvery side or Bogadi/Vijayanagar 4th Stage? How is the water stability in these pockets during summer? Social media users highlighted that the quality of life would depend on the lifestyle the family was intending to follow. “Buy an EV. Get Solar. Is it from a fixed deposit or anywhere else? So I am assuming your family and finance structure would be similar to theirs. Try talking to them directly if you can get to know someone through direct contacts.
Because the Mysore office holds some senior departments, senior leadership,. And What is the plan to get 1.5 lakh /month?
Are there other progressive, hands-on schools in Mysuru where kids aren’t just staring at a blackboard all day?” he said. Other expenses won’t be that much,” said one user, while another added: “I am also interested in this. A fourth said: “There are some Infosys employees living in Mysore with their families.
“We’ve already sorted out housing costs separately, so we won’t have to pay rent or a mortgage. We are looking to settle somewhere green with coconut groves or near water. The man highlighted that the budget strictly covers essential utility bills, including electricity, water, and cooking gas. Additional expenses account for groceries, domestic help, fuel and vehicle maintenance, and tuition fees.
The man explained that the family was settled in Ontario previously and wanted to keep monthly expenditures within the Rs 1.5 lakh budget, with the housing already taken care of. Our target monthly budget is Rs 1.5 Lakhs ( approximately $2,200 CAD),” he wrote. With the family paying zero rent, the man questioned those living in Mysuru or NRI’s who made a similar move, if managing a household under Rs 1.5 lakh was a feasible option or not.
Again, it depends on lifestyle. What type of car will you buy there? How much will you spend on food and groceries? Do you buy premium clothes? You get me, don’t you. So if housing is taken into account and one lives frugally, then it’s possible.”
In India, one can live on Rs 1 lakh per month or be poor on Rs 1 crore per month.
