Cost of Living

Interesting that you do not include dollar figures for all those things. I say the cost of living in India is a small fraction of the US.

Tell me, how much does your 4 bedroom house in Bangalore cost in dollars? I'm guessing it isn't anything compared to what Americans pay. The 4 bedroom house I currently live in is $400,000. I'm currently buying a 2 bedroom condo for $150,000. The 2 bedroom condos I saw ranged from $110,000-$150,000. You'd be lucky to find anything less than $100,000.

How much are your electric bills there? Luckily, we don't need air conditioning where I live, so I only have to pay $150 a month.

How much do you pay for your high speed internet connection? I'm currently paying $50 a month, although that is discounted since I also get my cable from the same company.

Few people in your country pay anywhere near what I pay in expenses. And the things I've listed, housing, electricity, and internet, are not outrageous expenses. Include some dollar figures and then we can talk.
