1bhk vs pg [ need urgent advice ]
Hi all as the title suggests , I am confused a lot between whether I should continue my stay at pg or shift to flat which I was hoping from long time . So here's the deal :
Currently staying in pg : 20k (includes food, washing and other utils but all are shareable with others , very near to office walkable distance )
cons of pg : Bad food ( expected ) , very noisy area , only one single room , very small bathroom, only one window for ventilation , can't do much here .
Flat : 22k rent (full furnish (doesn't include tv :-( )) 3 mo + (10k) deposit and 1 mo brokerage . The deposit here is the main issue I believe its too high , because my flat is in standalone apartment and I can't call it a flat , its actually between a flat and pg , because kitchen is a very small section with a slab .
cons : Have to manage everything by self including groc , cooking ,cleaning (even though I will be only one person ) but I am not sure how long and how much time I would be wasting .
pros: I have almost everything in flat ( gas stove , R.O , refrigerator and washing machine .. ) but I am not sure how much I will save with all of this .
So the thing is I hv recently shifted to Bangalore , as I mentioned its just two months in my pg . Now my org has started giving me a lot of work to the extent I have clock out sometimes 10-7 in meetings or works and then in night also . Now even though I wanted to shift to flat I am getting second thoughts whether I should go now or not . Considering the demanding nature of work is it worth it ?
Now I know many of u will suggest get a cook , order groc from blinkit and so on . But please understand my intention to move into flat was to save time and outside food expense . but unfortunately I can't see myself saving anyone of it since this week .
Unfortunately I have already paid my token amt and hv to finalize my decision today . Can you all please help!!
Is better to stay in PG unless and until you will have food all three times per day in office. Also there is not much difference even if u stay in flat or PG. initially flat will be good but u need to cook on weekends which is difficult. The drawback here is u won’t be having much privacy in PG even though it is single sharing. U can move to flat if the rent is only half of the amount of PG so that u can save some amount.
What bout 1 room in a 3bhk with roommates?
Would costs come down? And responsibilities get shared , would have maid + cook
Ah, I am too in same situation. Paying 20K for pg and couldn't decide if I have to shift to flat or not. Btw, can I ask in which area you got the 1bhk
1 bhk is much better provided you have the money to rent a tv, get a Wi-Fi connection and other stuff that you may need. Staying your TC would be helpful.
Take the 1bhk
Hv asked same in reddit but I am sure grapevine is more active then reddit 😅
