Middle Class being Squeezed

Imagine a household of 4 earning 50k per month, spending 1k on LPG and 5k on fuel/travel, 15k on groceries.

How much they are left for education, health, house rent, electricity, entertainment and savings?

How are they suppose to live? Why arent a million people of 1.4 billion raising the issue Forwarding this poll to all my whatsapp groups.Everyone do the same. Let a million people vote. more

Please let us all unite and send all whatsup messages to the PM, the finance minister and home minister for this petrol crises. The amount the government spends on its own useless desires is disgusting. I had been to my daughter's home in Mumbai and what I saw astonished me. On Narayan Dabolkar Road, there are about 7 minister's bungalows. Not only are they being refurbished with the common man's earnings but the number of policemen and women guarding these bungalows is mind boggling. At lease 50 policemen were just sitting outside these bungalows!!!! Doing what? Looking into their smart phones! more  
Such messages gains attentive decision quickly. more  
More tha 80% of the families of the country do not have even Rs.5,000/- a month earning and their fate was no better even when edible oil or other essential commodities were available at a cost less than 30% of present level. But none of us had ever raised any question in their favour. Spending Rs.5,000/- on fuel & Rs.15,000/- for groceries a month against an earning of Rs.50,000/- are apparantly on the higher side. Some how, we need to compromise somewhere, that too, in a situation when the entire globe was dominated by the epidemic for a long period of two years bringing everything to a standstill. The present condition of all the nations is, more or less, the same or even worst in many countries. more  
Truly, it's painful now to manage a family with Rs.50k per month. Govt. is silent on this issue. No hope to have a respite from such sufferings in near future. Source of income is also getting squeezed. Where common & middle class people will go and how they will survive? Perhaps no answer to our leaders of Govt. Very unfortunate. more  
Increase income by doing something else parallely. Cut down expenses like driving car. Travel on two wheeler. Buy same groceries at discounted rates from malls, offering lower prices. Buy vegetables weekly from main market. Off course, having said all these above, not very easy to manage in 50 k. Incomes going down of many citizens and cost of living rising. Buying a house a major worry. Educating children in good schools and colleges another worry. No one is bothered here in India. Will become another sri lanka or pakistan if steps not taken. Everyone talks about GDP. No one talking about per capita income. Over populated country will take lot of years to become developed and be on track for a happy country. more  
We get what we deserve, especially when we ask for it, again and again. more
