@Bilal Al Amin I lived in Vrindavan, UP $ 60.00 USD. per mount for studio apartment in new building. I was offered apartment in Navadwip, WB for $ 500.00 for the whole year. I stayed on the beach in Puri, OR for $ 5.00 per day if you rent monthly you can save even more, much more. INDIA means shopping around. My advise is, Rent during the low season.

You are comparing incomparable. I am in the UK, previously worked in India. I can easily say, India is lots of cheaper (excluding city like Mumbai, Delhi). Overall, in India, you can easily save more than 60-70% salary comfortably while in the UK, it's hard to save more than 20% of my current salary. Plus you have very cheap medical :)

From my experience, at present India definitely is cheap compared to Netherlands. Of course rent in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore may be higher, but the facilities you get here are far better than that of Amsterdam. Food also is cheaper here in India

I think the grocery estimate for India for a family is very off, while perhaps it may be possible to sustain on Rs. 1500 per week that is VERY LESS. If you consider only dry goods (rice, dal, beans, oil, flour, etc) then I agree, however if you are taking into account fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, butter, and meat then it goes up to I would say at least Rs. 3000 or more, depending on how much meat and types of fruits etc. per week. Plus normally included also under grocery shopping budget would be cleaning supplies, toiletries, detergents, etc, which definitely wouldn't fit in the 1500 budget as well.
I don't agree, but then, I am vegetarian; people who buy meat and fish definitely pay more than 1,500 a week. I pay around that, other than splurge on stuff - ice-cream in tubs, feeding my addiction to a particular soft drink, stuff like that. The splurges would be more.
Be aware if you are studying in the Netherlands and you are from overseas you pay more as the prices are subsided if you have the Dutch nationality. I never had a car in The Netherlands always cycling and use public transport an use a discount subscription for the train.
@Travel Vlog - You are partially correct about train cost. Sleeper / 2A / AC those are long distance trains in India which are mostly not used for local commute and those price range are perfect as you mentioned. But we have LOCAL Trains as well where we have stops after approx 5mins intervals, those train tickets are way cheaper @Rs 10-20 for 10-15KM Travel.
A person working in India typically earns around 31,900 INR per month. Salaries range from 8,080 INR (lowest average) to 143,000 INR (highest average, actual maximum salary is higher). This is the average monthly salary including housing, transport, and other benefits.
I think mexico specially my city which is the capital of the country is right in the middle of both countries hahahaha the train ticket is 17.50 rupees or 0.20 euro
I literally choked seeing those numbers in Indian ruppee.That much money is no joke.😲😲That 3bhk apartment in netherland is literally like the total amount of money earned by my father is maybe his half of his lifetime.
People in India don't buy car for traveling in one city, they usually use public transport, because of traffic, car usually used for going for long distance.
People in India buy car only for status and hence end up with low budget cars and maximum percentage of people neglect the timely maintenance of it Also, I have a slightly different opinion and I think people use cars to travel within the city and hence is the main reason for traffic congestion
@@pramodaakalkoti9218 it's okay, with ongoing infra development and new, brilliant modes of public transport, situation is going to improve. Metro is coming to many cities of India. Also, new AC electric buses are coming. In next 5-6 years, traffic issue will be sorted to a great extent.

For streetfood we got foodtrucks and foodtruck events now. They prepare foods origins from all continents. Prices are also less costly than you pay in restaurants. There are also mobile snackbars and fish stands for buying haring, kibbeling and other fish products.
In big cities like Bangalore for a rather well-to-do family grocery (food + non-food ) can cost around 2000 to 4000 Rs. per person. It may be quite more for someone having rather luxury lifestyle
Hatchback cars can start at 3.5 to 4.5 lakhs Rupees on the road in India. Even low end sedans cost around 7 to 8 lakhs And train travel : 500 Rs. can fetch you a 2nd class ticket for a ride up to o a 10-12 hours in India. And in Air Conditioned coaches it can cost 800 to 1200 Rs.

13:50 actually thats incorrect. A brand new hatchback car can cost as less as 4 lakh in India. And hatchbacks are the most sold category of car in India. For 10 lakh you can get a good sedan like Ciaz or MUV like Venue, Nexon etc. If you compound all the cars sold in India, maybe you could get the average cost of 10lakh, maybe thats how they calculated it..but still seems a bit off to me..

Thanks, Ivana for bringing out this very informative and comparative video. Just one thing to say, that the average income of a person differs from State to State. In Kolkata, is about Rs. 15,000/- per month. Yesterday I had a Lunch in the Dalhousie area with just Rs. 18/- which consists of Rice, Lentils, 4 types of Vegetables, Pappad and Chutni beside you can also ask for Onion, Lemon and Chilli with no extra cost. So, you can easily understand that it differs. Anyhow, the video was excellent. Keep it up and Take Care.

College fees are higher for ENGINEERING in INDIA for IIT & NIT( which are best engineering colleges in INDIA ) college fees are upto 2.5lakh to 3 lakh per year . And for private engineering colleges this may vary upto 4-6 lakh per year . And courses like MBA in IIM have really high fees upto 10-15 lakh for just 2 years .
Hoi Ivana, vond het echt heel informatief. Bedankt. Een kleine correctie @13:13 ₹50 = €0,56 Hoe is het gesteld met de gezondheidszorg. Is er iets zoals de 'ziekenfondsverzekering' Zorgeverzekeraars en aanvullende pakketten.

I like the expression when you say the price in Netherlands has sky rocketed, which is very true on a average there is increase of 10 % every year.. I still remember in 2013 where I can go and see 5- 6 houses, but now one house is viewed by 10-20 people.
Then why doesn't govt encourage building more houses? Scarcity is artificially created, supply is intentionally controlled, most of land must be in hands of a few. In such situation, prices are bound to increase.
Rent of Houses in India can be very different in different states or city by city In a town or tier 2 or 3 cities it is 4000 to 10000 rupees and also it can also be lowet than 4000 in a semi rural town.
That was very entertaining, thank you. In terms of restaurant comparison, what would an average meal in a "hipster" restaurant/cafe in Bangalore cost? I recall you had a meal in one of those restaurants in Indiranagar (sorry if I spelt it wrong) in another video. I think this might make for a better comparison to the average restaurant in the Netherlands. What do you think? I'm guessing that the Bangalore average restaurant prices you mentioned may be more for eateries rather than a "proper" restaurant. I would consider eateries to be just a step or two above street food, in terms of pricing, they aren't significantly higher and they remain very accessible to locals. Just before covid lockdowns, I was lucky enough to spend some time in Bangkok, and the prices in restaurants (especially mall cafes and restaurants) were just as pricey as in Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore. So I'm wondering if that might be the case with Bangalore restaurants too?
In india there are different coach like ac , sleeper, non ac normal and different train according to speed express , super fast express.

Americans don't get 10 yrs Indian visa like that. It depends, varies case to case. India's visa policy is mostly reciprocal. Since US visa rules are tough for Indians, India's visa rules are equally tough. May have been easy in your case, but same is the case for many Indians who get US visa.

Try to understand the history between the two countries, In 1962 USA save India from Chinese invasion. So don't feel cheated my friend.
@@dkl7128 Not at all sir. Do you see 1 like on your original comment? That's mine. :) I am just saying that India's visa policy is reciprocal and it's not really that easy to get a 10 years multiple entry visa, be it for Americans or anyone else. I responded to first line of your original comment. It's just a clarification. It doesn't work that way. Tourism is surely beneficial for India, so is for any other country, including USA. Still, it's tough to get even tourist visa for US. And India reciprocates here, by making equally tough rules. But it varies case to case in both countries. So, many Indians are able to get long term multiple entry US visa and many US citizen get similar Indian visa. You are among those who got it. Also, frankly speaking, India-US relations have seen their own ups and downs. Even if we consider your claim to be a fact, there is another fact that USA had sent it's 7th fleet in Bay of Bengal in 1971, against India, to support Pakistan which carried out genocide in today's Bangladesh. During cold war, USA was mostly inclined towards Pakistan. US India relations really improved after Senior Bush's tenure, after fall of USSR and India's economic reforms of 1991-92. But it's finally going in the right direction since then. Both are great democracies and share many common values. Our strong ties can ensure good future for Democratic systems all around them world.
@@dkl7128 Again, as I said, it varies case to case. For many Indians too, getting US visa is very easy, even for many Pakistanis. But it has nothing to do with 'As an American' or 'being an American'.
I don't know about the rular areas But in urban areas like, Mumbai Vashi Panvel Khargar And so on The prices of Higher Education like engineering and medical colleges is about 3 to 4 lakhs per year In total 12 to 16 lakhs for 4 years And for further education like MBA and more degrees 8 to 12 lakh RS If students are not able to crack entrance exams like jee,neet,cet,etc, Donation amount in colleges starts from rs 6 to 8 lakh for IT and Computer engineering and also for medical field and separate college fees which make it to 20 to 25 lakh for education in INDIA.

Car prices is one of the few things where it's more expensive in India. This is due to high import duties (parts, as well as fully-built units) as well as high sales taxes. Comparing the same cars, between the US and India, you can expect a 60% markup in India for the same car!
You missed "HEALTHCARE". How could you??? I heard it's too expensive to even have a baby and you don't have contraceptive pill too or you don't get it that easy there without prescription. Please make a video on it too. 🙏❤️

It is so strange that people don't realise that Hyderabad is very competitive with any other location in India, with regard to rent, transport, food and household, electricity, and - SURPRISE! - weather!! Medical support is superb, public transport is very, very good, not over the top as it is with Delhi Metro, but very much up to the needs of the city.
Education is a dubious component for comparison. The dutch state sponsors the education for each child. In india, if you got moolah, you send kids to a private and Posh school where the chances of networking and getting good jobs & career growth is substantially much more than going to vernacular state-sponsored institutions. So comparing this factor is skewed & would be termed as : ''appels met peren vergelijken''
College fee way higher in NITs and IITs for engineering nearly about 3 lakhs a year And for medical it is 1 lakh a year for government seat and about 10 lakhs for private seat
the comparision is right but it also depends on the per capita income of person living in different countries. I mean, for example if any country X is expensive then people living in that country will have similar salary as compared to person living in less expensive country Y
Hiii, iam from Vijayawada,Andhra Pradesh, India. Indian government (both state and central) has student policies also called as fee reimbursement system for the students who cannot pay for their college due to their economic or financial problems all you hav eto provide is the income certificate of your parent and your previous high school marks list at the college you have been selected and the fee directly goes to the college account from the government.

I don't think you can buy groceries for the whole family in INR1500 for the week. For a family of 4, the average grocery ( conservative estimate) is about INR 2500-3000 and not less than that. Also, the price of 3BHK in Bangalore starts easily around INR 60Lakh in outskirts but average price is about 90-1cr lakh for a decent location. I don't know who is selling a 3BHK in bangalore for 3cr.
You think that grocery prices applies in the villages too? As that's where a huge part of the population of India is, it's not realistic to only look at urban price. 3cr is what I keep seeing for nice apts haha but I'm sure there are more which cost less
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Yes the national average for grocery spend is definitely less if we include small towns and villages but I thought you were comparing urban centers like Amsterdam and Bangalore. A 3cr 3bhk apartment is definitely not normal and these have to be in the premium segment in a place like Bangalore. I think Mumbai can justify this price for a 3bhk apartment. Having said this, I want to mention that I really like your vlogs about Bangalore as I lived there for many years and still have fond memories of the place. Your vlogs make me nostalgic.
When i studied ,college fees was 1.2 lakhs per year in 2013 and now 3.6 lakhs per year in 2020 in my same college. but for medical colleges fees are less than 1lakh per year (5000-100000)in govt. Colleges, while 7-30 lakhs a year for private medical colleges. The Point being in 7 years , prices have doubled tripled over all.. Jst for info Love your videos, tc be Safe :)

Comparing absolute numbers doesn't make much sense. You should compare on percentage, for instance, what percentage of income is spent on food, housing, travel, education, etc? According to Numbeo - a comparison between Bangalore and Amsterdam, the buying power in Amsterdam is just 10% higher. - Consumer Prices in Amsterdam are 211.92% higher than in Bangalore (without rent) - Consumer Prices Including Rent in Amsterdam are 292.94% higher than in Bangalore - Rent Prices in Amsterdam are 576.84% higher than in Bangalore - Restaurant Prices in Amsterdam are 401.52% higher than in Bangalore - Groceries Prices in Amsterdam are 118.83% higher than in Bangalore - Local Purchasing Power in Amsterdam is 10.08% higher than in Bangalore
engineering colleges have annual fees of between 1.5-4.0 lakh rupees per year and even IITs and NITs have annual fees of 1-2 lakhs including hostels and food. Medical colleges are very expensive if they are private (10-25 lakhs per year) but government or aided medical colleges are very cheap (5-50 thousand per year). Private Liberal arts colleges and universities are quite expensive comparative to engineering fees given that they don't have laboratory and practical costs. Management in India is decently priced with iims and private colleges being competitively priced with each other as is the case for engineering. Central and state universities tend to be very cheap and will tend to offer non-professional courses.
when one currency is converted into another, it can be cheap or costly...... however, the cost of living needs to be highlighted..... how much does it can for groceries, daily transport, electricity, etc then balance it with the income...... this will give you an actual understanding of how much each country can be affordable.....

A person working in India typically earns around 31,900 INR per month. Salaries range from 8,080 INR (lowest average) to 143,000 INR (highest average, actual maximum salary is higher). This is the average monthly salary including housing, transport, and other benefits.
I think mexico specially my city which is the capital of the country is right in the middle of both countries hahahaha the train ticket is 17.50 rupees or 0.20 euro
Haha brilliant! Love to hear about prices in other countries too
That train is local train.. If you want better trains for long travelling it will cost more expensive
Netherlands : for transportation we have to pay around 1,700 👀👀
India : Hold our insanely free rides !!! 😁😁
Your smile, personality and way of delivering was really great.
I literally choked seeing those numbers in Indian ruppee.That much money is no joke.😲😲That 3bhk apartment in netherland is literally like the total amount of money earned by my father is maybe his half of his lifetime.
It's crazy right!?
It is the same problem here in UAE... it soo expensive to live... here.
It is also the average price in Mumbai.. 1bhk now a days coat around 65 lac to 2.8 crore in Mumbai now.. Depend on the region..
UAE property is a bubble.
It's overpriced.
Mumbai is cray indeed!
People in India don't buy car for traveling in one city, they usually use public transport, because of traffic, car usually used for going for long distance.
People in India buy car only for status and hence end up with low budget cars and maximum percentage of people neglect the timely maintenance of it
Also, I have a slightly different opinion and I think people use cars to travel within the city and hence is the main reason for traffic congestion
@@pramodaakalkoti9218 it's okay, with ongoing infra development and new, brilliant modes of public transport, situation is going to improve. Metro is coming to many cities of India. Also, new AC electric buses are coming. In next 5-6 years, traffic issue will be sorted to a great extent.
As indian staying in Netherlands, I agree with ur price comparison of both countries.
Good information here! I have always wanted to go there! We have some fun things to do here in Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I am hoping to get out and see and do more post-quarantine. Thanks for sharing! Great channel! I’m following!
One problem is the unfair exchange rate Rupee to Euro. The Rupee is actually worth more. In Europe the problem is that the left parties became insignificant. That made life much more expensive for the average people. But as long as the normal people have no problem with that and still vote for Rutte, Merkel or Macron it seems we've got what we wanted...
The price range of 2bhk and 3bhk in Bangalore is 80L to 1.5cr from a popular builder. Total environment is the one which charges 3cr or if a popular builder selling detached homes then only it would cost 3cr and more.
Thank you!!!
Exactly...street food is so cheap and very tasty. In fact I love the street food than food at a 5 star hotel in India. Same thing with chai. It is delicious in small places. People think that India is cheap but it is very diverse ...can get all levels of affluence
@sanjay patel That is true. However, there are only few places like NYC, Austin etc where street food is readily available. Definitely not everwhere in the magnitude found in India.
I remember reading some of your answers on Quora (comparing places if I correctly remember) and they were extremely insightful. Thanks for doing what you do 🙏

For streetfood we got foodtrucks and foodtruck events now.
They prepare foods origins from all continents.
Prices are also less costly than you pay in restaurants.
There are also mobile snackbars and fish stands for buying haring, kibbeling and other fish products.
And taste is also super taste brothe . Isn't it.?
In big cities like Bangalore for a rather well-to-do family grocery (food + non-food ) can cost around 2000 to 4000 Rs. per person. It may be quite more for someone having rather luxury lifestyle
Hatchback cars can start at 3.5 to 4.5 lakhs Rupees on the road in India. Even low end sedans cost around 7 to 8 lakhs And train travel : 500 Rs. can fetch you a 2nd class ticket for a ride up to o a 10-12 hours in India. And in Air Conditioned
coaches it can cost 800 to 1200 Rs.

13:50 actually thats incorrect. A brand new hatchback car can cost as less as 4 lakh in India. And hatchbacks are the most sold category of car in India. For 10 lakh you can get a good sedan like Ciaz or MUV like Venue, Nexon etc. If you compound all the cars sold in India, maybe you could get the average cost of 10lakh, maybe thats how they calculated it..but still seems a bit off to me..
If the Netherland is so expensive even for Dutch, how tough their life is ! I think they need to reform in opposite way.
I live in firozepur punjab

Thanks, Ivana for bringing out this very informative and comparative video. Just one thing to say, that the average income of a person differs from State to State. In Kolkata, is about Rs. 15,000/- per month. Yesterday I had a Lunch in the Dalhousie area with just Rs. 18/- which consists of Rice, Lentils, 4 types of Vegetables, Pappad and Chutni beside you can also ask for Onion, Lemon and Chilli with no extra cost. So, you can easily understand that it differs. Anyhow, the video was excellent. Keep it up and Take Care.
Yeah Arijit,I am an Army Officer my cost of living in Kolkata when I was posted at Fort William was half of what is in Delhi now...I used to go to Park Street every week with my family for dinner which is unthinkable in Delhi...long live Kolkata the city of joy.

College fees are higher for ENGINEERING in INDIA
for IIT & NIT( which are best engineering colleges in INDIA ) college fees are upto 2.5lakh to 3 lakh per year . And for private engineering colleges this may vary upto 4-6 lakh per year .
And courses like MBA in IIM have really high fees upto 10-15 lakh for just 2 years .

I like the expression when you say the price in Netherlands has sky rocketed, which is very true on a average there is increase of 10 % every year.. I still remember in 2013 where I can go and see 5- 6 houses, but now one house is viewed by 10-20 people.
Then why doesn't govt encourage building more houses? Scarcity is artificially created, supply is intentionally controlled, most of land must be in hands of a few. In such situation, prices are bound to increase.
@@swapnilp5774 Government highly regulates making it difficult to build new houses preventing supply from matching demand.

Rent of Houses in India can be very different in different states or city by city
In a town or tier 2 or 3 cities it is 4000 to 10000 rupees and also it can also be lowet than 4000 in a semi rural town.
It can be as low as 1000 in villages. If you go 10kms away from city border, rents becomes less than half.
A beautiful video, a lovely virtual walk, it's very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
Great edit at 14:13! Really cool! XD
Obsessed with your videos! 🤩
That was very entertaining, thank you. In terms of restaurant comparison, what would an average meal in a "hipster" restaurant/cafe in Bangalore cost? I recall you had a meal in one of those restaurants in Indiranagar (sorry if I spelt it wrong) in another video. I think this might make for a better comparison to the average restaurant in the Netherlands. What do you think?
I'm guessing that the Bangalore average restaurant prices you mentioned may be more for eateries rather than a "proper" restaurant. I would consider eateries to be just a step or two above street food, in terms of pricing, they aren't significantly higher and they remain very accessible to locals.
Just before covid lockdowns, I was lucky enough to spend some time in Bangkok, and the prices in restaurants (especially mall cafes and restaurants) were just as pricey as in Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore. So I'm wondering if that might be the case with Bangalore restaurants too?
In india there are different coach like ac , sleeper, non ac normal and different train according to speed express , super fast express.

Us an American I can get ten year visa, but every six mounts I have to fly out for a day or two, then come back. Udupi or Mangalore are a bit smaller but more peaceful. Also check Kollam, Cochin and many other smaller towns on the beach.
Americans don't get 10 yrs Indian visa like that. It depends, varies case to case. India's visa policy is mostly reciprocal. Since US visa rules are tough for Indians, India's visa rules are equally tough. May have been easy in your case, but same is the case for many Indians who get US visa.
@@swapnilp5774 I have 10 year tourist visa. I have to go out of India every 6 months ,but can come back the very next day. It may not be fare, but Americans spend much more money in India than Indians in America. Tourism is economically very beneficial for India. Try to understand the history between the two countries, In 1962 USA save India from Chinese invasion. So don't feel cheated my friend.
@@dkl7128 Not at all sir. Do you see 1 like on your original comment? That's mine. :) I am just saying that India's visa policy is reciprocal and it's not really that easy to get a 10 years multiple entry visa, be it for Americans or anyone else. I responded to first line of your original comment. It's just a clarification. It doesn't work that way. Tourism is surely beneficial for India, so is for any other country, including USA. Still, it's tough to get even tourist visa for US. And India reciprocates here, by making equally tough rules. But it varies case to case in both countries. So, many Indians are able to get long term multiple entry US visa and many US citizen get similar Indian visa. You are among those who got it.
Also, frankly speaking, India-US relations have seen their own ups and downs. Even if we consider your claim to be a fact, there is another fact that USA had sent it's 7th fleet in Bay of Bengal in 1971, against India, to support Pakistan which carried out genocide in today's Bangladesh. During cold war, USA was mostly inclined towards Pakistan. US India relations really improved after Senior Bush's tenure, after fall of USSR and India's economic reforms of 1991-92. But it's finally going in the right direction since then. Both are great democracies and share many common values. Our strong ties can ensure good future for Democratic systems all around them world.
@@swapnilp5774 For me was very easy.
@@dkl7128 Again, as I said, it varies case to case. For many Indians too, getting US visa is very easy, even for many Pakistanis. But it has nothing to do with 'As an American' or 'being an American'.

The prices of Higher Education like engineering and medical colleges is about 3 to 4 lakhs per year
In total 12 to 16 lakhs for 4 years
And for further education like MBA and more degrees 8 to 12 lakh RS
If students are not able to crack entrance exams like jee,neet,cet,etc,
Donation amount in colleges starts from rs 6 to 8 lakh for IT and Computer engineering and also for medical field and separate college fees which make it to 20 to 25 lakh for education in INDIA.
I know this because I am also a student.
Thanks for reading 😃

Car prices is one of the few things where it's more expensive in India. This is due to high import duties (parts, as well as fully-built units) as well as high sales taxes. Comparing the same cars, between the US and India, you can expect a 60% markup in India for the same car!
This is nice to see - the perspective from someone who know more than just knowledge from a single visit. Thank you for this.

Hi just letting you no the college fees are more than what you said and in a medical college you have to pay something called a donation in the starting that is a average of 60 laks to 1 cr in banglore i know this because my sister is studying in banglore the fee is less and the cars are 2.5 times more expensive than in other countries just letting you no.
Quite informative vidio! Medical expenses comparison could have been added to this
It is so strange that people don't realise that Hyderabad is very competitive with any other location in India, with regard to rent, transport, food and household, electricity, and - SURPRISE! - weather!! Medical support is superb, public transport is very, very good, not over the top as it is with Delhi Metro, but very much up to the needs of the city.
Average cost of food,groceries is around INR 10k to 30k per month in india
You're no more a foreigner, you've become like us, and that I like about you very much.
Education is a dubious component for comparison. The dutch state sponsors the education for each child. In india, if you got moolah, you send kids to a private and Posh school where the chances of networking and getting good jobs & career growth is substantially much more than going to vernacular state-sponsored institutions. So comparing this factor is skewed & would be termed as : ''appels met peren vergelijken''
College fee way higher in NITs and IITs for engineering nearly about 3 lakhs a year
And for medical it is 1 lakh a year for government seat and about 10 lakhs for private seat
When I studied in 1997 my annual fees was 4000 and it remained same more or less for science courses
the comparision is right but it also depends on the per capita income of person living in different countries. I mean, for example if any country X is expensive then people living in that country will have similar salary as compared to person living in less expensive country Y
Hiii, iam from Vijayawada,Andhra Pradesh, India.
Indian government (both state and central) has student policies also called as fee reimbursement system for the students who cannot pay for their college due to their economic or financial problems all you hav eto provide is the income certificate of your parent and your previous high school marks list at the college you have been selected and the fee directly goes to the college account from the government. Of course you have to pay for the living expenses, the books, library fee,there is a thing called building fee and the examination fee..

Hey Ivana! Even i have a habit of comparing prices , of course I want to manage my expenses too.....loved this vlog of yours.. 🙂
I don't think you can buy groceries for the whole family in INR1500 for the week. For a family of 4, the average grocery ( conservative estimate) is about INR 2500-3000 and not less than that. Also, the price of 3BHK in Bangalore starts easily around INR 60Lakh in outskirts but average price is about 90-1cr lakh for a decent location. I don't know who is selling a 3BHK in bangalore for 3cr.
You think that grocery prices applies in the villages too? As that's where a huge part of the population of India is, it's not realistic to only look at urban price. 3cr is what I keep seeing for nice apts haha but I'm sure there are more which cost less
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Yes the national average for grocery spend is definitely less if we include small towns and villages but I thought you were comparing urban centers like Amsterdam and Bangalore. A 3cr 3bhk apartment is definitely not normal and these have to be in the premium segment in a place like Bangalore. I think Mumbai can justify this price for a 3bhk apartment. Having said this, I want to mention that I really like your vlogs about Bangalore as I lived there for many years and still have fond memories of the place. Your vlogs make me nostalgic.
In rural govt school fees would be 500INR per year, private schools fees is between 30k to 1 lack per year.
And ZP schools are free. Also, girls education is free till 12th standard.
In Government colleges having ordinary Graduation and PG fees is 1200 to 2000 per year.
When i studied ,college fees was 1.2 lakhs per year in 2013 and now 3.6 lakhs per year in 2020 in my same college. but for medical colleges fees are less than 1lakh per year (5000-100000)in govt. Colleges, while 7-30 lakhs a year for private medical colleges. The Point being in 7 years , prices have doubled tripled over all..

Comparing absolute numbers doesn't make much sense. You should compare on percentage, for instance, what percentage of income is spent on food, housing, travel, education, etc? According to Numbeo - a comparison between Bangalore and Amsterdam, the buying power in Amsterdam is just 10% higher.
- Consumer Prices in Amsterdam are 211.92% higher than in Bangalore (without rent)
- Consumer Prices Including Rent in Amsterdam are 292.94% higher than in Bangalore
- Rent Prices in Amsterdam are 576.84% higher than in Bangalore
- Restaurant Prices in Amsterdam are 401.52% higher than in Bangalore
- Groceries Prices in Amsterdam are 118.83% higher than in Bangalore
- Local Purchasing Power in Amsterdam is 10.08% higher than in Bangalore

India is one of the most economical and cheap places to live. And having your own house in Bangalore is a luxury.
Yeah, in whitefied and dollars colony is a dream...
engineering colleges have annual fees of between 1.5-4.0 lakh rupees per year and even IITs and NITs have annual fees of 1-2 lakhs including hostels and food. Medical colleges are very expensive if they are private (10-25 lakhs per year) but government or aided medical colleges are very cheap (5-50 thousand per year). Private Liberal arts colleges and universities are quite expensive comparative to engineering fees given that they don't have laboratory and practical costs. Management in India is decently priced with iims and private colleges being competitively priced with each other as is the case for engineering. Central and state universities tend to be very cheap and will tend to offer non-professional courses.
Thank you!
Great comparisons ...... good job
Yr research is spot on....
As a native Kannadiga namma urru bengaluru is little costly but not more than mumbai and delhi.
when one currency is converted into another, it can be cheap or costly......
however, the cost of living needs to be highlighted.....
how much does it can for groceries, daily transport, electricity, etc then balance it with the income......
this will give you an actual understanding of how much each country can be affordable.....
