    If you could earn at least twice of your salary, that is good income . :D

    depends upon which place you live...in some places 800-900$ is enough for 1 month and in some places 800-900$ is even not sufficent for 10 days

    thanks

    Depends on your profession.

    I was in India for a very long time, and I found that more than 99% I knew were only having around 10k USD a year if not lower.

    It is pretty cheap place to live in, but with the current inflation, it may not be same in the near future....

    But I would say its an amazing place to invest stuff in. With a ever increasing popualtion, any asset would double its value in a not so long time..

    Good luck.

    Village life in India is far more cheaper. If you lead a simple life a $200 per month will be enough.

    Which Village of India are you living in, where $200/ month is more then enough? I think these days you should earn atleast $500/month to live a decent life.

    Well it all depends on the lifestyle and standard of living that you are maintaining

    If you are having a car then that itself will need atleast $400 per month for maintenance and fuel whether it is in a village you live or city will not make much of difference to that

    To maintain a upper middle class lifestyle in a metro one need atleast 1200$ per month
