I guess for Lahore, take off 25-30 K for renting one floor in a one canal house, or an apartment.

25 K for groceries

10 K for one live in servant

20 K for petrol (four tanks of petrol come to roughly that much)

10K per month for each child’s schooling. That is 20 K

10-15K electric bill

5K water and gas and cable

So far that is 125K

25 K random. Good going seb!

Interesting figures, abit high tho, is the 20k petrol bill for 4 cars or 4 weeks (1 tank per week?) how far are you driving wpuld make a difference

Also 25k on random. 25k would be another families whole (comfortable) budget.

You can rent 2 bedroom floor in some parts of Lahor for 7k, on the border of Defence. Do you really need a live in maid to be minimally comfortable? Cheaper option to get maid as and when needed. Some would add a driver and gardener to the list too.

All depends on what your idea of minimum comfort is. Like some would be uncomfortable if the garden was not watered daily.
