Is the cost of living in India high?
We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in India, they wrote...
"The cost of living in India varies depending on the city and lifestyle. Housing costs in India tend to be lower than in other parts of the world and basic amenities like food, transportation, and utilities are generally affordable. However, luxury items like cars, international travel, and designer goods tend to be expensive. Overall, India is known for being a relatively affordable country to live in," wrote a member who made the move to India.
