A married Bengaluru couple, both senior software engineers, shared a viral Instagram breakdown showing average monthly expenses of Rs 1.7 lakh. Their costs include nearly Rs 60,000 for rent and upkeep, Rs 8,000 for staff, Rs 13,000 to Rs 14,000 for food, and about Rs 75,000 for travel. Weekend trips, shopping and transport add smaller amounts; they track spending to prioritise intentional expenses.
