A product manager has sparked a debate about Bengaluru's high cost of living, suggesting that a Rs 12 lakh annual salary feels inadequate. He argues that monthly rent, commuting, dining out, and entertainment expenses quickly deplete income, making it difficult to maintain a desired lifestyle. The manager highlighted significant costs like security deposits, expensive cab rides, and the city's notorious traffic. He noted that even seemingly free activities like visiting parks can incur substantial travel costs.
