From academics to employment, those migrating to metro cities from smaller towns are confronted with a myriad of challenges, including the onerous costs of rent, electricity, and water bills. Meanwhile, some cities are also exorbitantly expensive, making life particularly stressful for newcomers.
Amidst this scenario, a post from a Mumbai-based girl on social media has gained traction. Posted on June 8th by the user @kebabandcoke, it reads: 'In Mumbai, 1 BHKs are going for 50-70 thousand. Maintain good relations with your parents, folks—there's absolutely no need to run away from home in pursuit of independence.'
Since being shared, the post has garnered over 150,000 views and counting. Comments ranged from expressions of shock at Mumbai's rental prices to suggestions of more affordable neighborhoods and comparisons with rental costs in Delhi.
One user shared: 'My friend pays ₹1 lakh for a 3 BHK in Andheri.' While another suggested relocating to cheaper areas. Yet another remarked, 'Come to Delhi and live for just 9-10k (2 BHK - FURNISHED).'
