Why This Gurugram Man is 'House Rich, Cash Poor' With Rs 3 Crore Home. The Math is Shocking

Gurugram: A resident of Gurgram has stirred a major discussion online after his candid post on LinkedIn highlighted the true cost of living in one of the city’s most upscale areas.

Vaibhav J., who lives in a posh neighbourhood in Gurgaon, began his post with an eye-opening statement that quickly grabbed people’s attention. He spoke about the financial burden that comes with maintaining a luxurious lifestyle in such a high-end location.

Instead of showcasing success, his message focused on the challenges behind the glossy exterior. He explained how much it actually takes to afford a comfortable life in an area surrounded by elite housing, premium cars, and expensive social circles.

'' I own a house in Gurgaon, IndiaTranslation: I need 7.5L /month just to breathe.Here’s what you "really" signed up for: 2.08L EMI house -- for that ₹3 Cr flex, 12K/month - maintenance for fountain, 60K EMI car -- because you can’t roll up in a Swift, 65K/month school -- kids need IB, not ABCD, 30K/month set aside for foreign trip proof-of-life, 30K/month for staff -- cook, maid, driver because Gurgaon parenting needs a crew, 20K/month in club nights and dinners you don’t even enjoy, 12K on grooming, clothes, and looking "DLF Phase 5 ready,"10K+ random crap you forgot you bought and15K/month on birthday gifts and wedding envelopes. Fake smiles tax,'' the post read.

Here's How Netizen Reacted:

'' If you're purchasing a flat worth 3cr means you are financially stable, so there’s no point in this melodrama,'' a user said.

'' Vaibhav J. You mean 90L/annum pre tax right, as you arrived at 7.5 lakhs/month from 5L/month after adding 30% tax,'' a second user wrote.

'' Gurgaon real-estate is an unnecessary hype which people are somehow buying. But jo bhi hain Gurgaon mein vibe hain , sirf yeh weather and AQI chorke,'' a third user mentioned.
