You're such an Inspiration for the teenagers who had dreams that they want to live, but are stuck in studies because everyone doing the same so are we, as u said in your earlier video( of me after 4 years )
Thank you for motivating us and helping to thrive what we really want to do in Life.
Lots of love.
I live alone and I spend 12k on rent for a 1 BHK. And at least 5k on otherexpenses plus almost 3K on petrol. Some or the other unexpected expense takes 7-8k. So I would say 25-30K per month in one of the less expensive areas of Pune
Hi, I recommend (Secrets of Sanatan Dharma) available on Amazon and Kindle
Pune is highly costly city mam .
3K on petrol??
@@asutoshghanto3419 đ€Łđ€Łyep
Pune waleyy ...jhattu hoteyy heyy go to mumbai ..Mumbai has good fast modern culture
U really inspire me to do everything!
Yes very inspiring
I'm so glad to know that!
@@thehellyblogAnd thanks for me
@@thehellyblog Do you include dahi in your diet ?
Very Inspiring Video!!
The cost of living is very very less, in Mumbai, it would easily go upto to 80 K - 1 Lakh INR per month.
Really happy for your Financial Independence
Omg!đ±
80k-100k!
That's crazy
@@random_person_on_internet yes it's normal in Mumbai City
helly how do u know what is going into my mind !!!??!!!!!!! ...amazing its a good way to tell people how to spend money whr to cut expanses ..nd yeah ur grocery list justđđđ
I know, I know!
Here in Mumbai rents are really very high. For 2 bhk room it's minimum 30k a month for very low quality and if you go for something descent it will cost you around 50k a month. Quite expensive đŹ
Right!
I'm your subscriber from Bangladesh. Didn't know you're a Bangali too :)
Yeah , rent in Kolkata is so low. This is amazing btw.
Here, in Bikaner, Rajasthan I have paid Rs. 2200-2300 For a yearly jio internet service this time. Pretty amazing deal I think.
Just an suggestion you can also find some books or audiobooks here and there online for free. Saves a lot of money.
Hi Helly ..I am planning to relocate to Kolkata in a month or two .Your video is really informative .Thanks . Please do upload more video on life in Kolkata.
I'm literally craving to live like you on my own.đ
Good luck! You will soon!
@@thehellyblog Thank Youđ
@@wbenglishtuition all the best
Hi, I recommend (Secrets of Sanatan Dharma) available on Amazon and Kindle
The rent and living expenses are far less than what it is in our area
Since you work online, you can live in northern suburbs or in rural areas beyond Barrackpore or Barasat or Sreerampore, you can cut down on rent, just a thought. By the way, when the metro becomes operational in North kolkata too, rents will increase drastically.
Which era are u in metro is available upto baranagar in kolkata from kavi subhash
20 k is looks cheaper in Bangalore or Chennai u need 35 k minimum đđđđ
What I will do ..... Then
Then jobs will also be highly paid.....
Literally your hard work reflects that how you pronounce every single word in such a beautiful accent âšđ
Hey,
Helly can you name that international course or platform name ?
You really inspires us to do our best . In your 20's you make so much for yourself. Love you â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I'm so glad! Thank you!
@@thehellyblog đ€đ€đ€
I also live in North Kolkata .. but here house owners do not give rent to single women that also to a young adult ..how did you manage to get one ? please do share cause I eagerly want to move out of this house
Currently I am living alone in kolkata and it's been around same cost.
And
Previous I was in hyderabad and it's been slightly expensive compare to kolkata.
And
Before hyderabad I was living in Bangalore and my cost of living was dependent on salary, credit on friend, loan, credit cards etc.
Love from Bangladesh,
By the way i love your recommendations, books,All the best
Glad you like them!
Thanks for inspiring us so much. It's because of you that i can think of living alone earning from my skills n what not. Waiting for the masterclass tommorow. đ„°đ„°
Can't wait to show you the strategies!
@@thehellyblog excited af đđ
"How to live alone as being a GIRL ??" can you make another video on this topic đ
@@christinastephens5792 please stop the spamming.
Being an Indian i feel pretty sad to see this commentđ
Oh man, I related on so many of the points: tofu, induction oven because phobia of fire, prime subscription, love for exotic fruits (in my case it is figs, strawberries and exotic vegetables too like zuchhini), no meat at home, oats in everything, whole wheat pasta (in my case its durum wheat) and finally we agree on the point that cheese is not worth it, so I turned to nutritonal yeast :P
The best thing about being a freelancer is even if you're living in a small town or a village you don't have to live your home and go to biger city's just for work when you don't want
why do you live alone when you can live with your parents and do business. you could be saving rent and other expense and use it on business expansion or study more.
Sometimes when you earn well, these kinda of moments where you live on your own is a feel good factor. It does make one feel confident, independent and self-sufficient.
imagine living with parents after 22đ€Ł
"àŠàŠà§àŠàŠŸ" it's the 1st Bengali word u have spoken while talking... I always hear you speaking in English and it inspires me and helps me a lot to improve my spoken English skills but I wonder often that how it would be heard when you speak Bengali... it's very cute when you said Achchha! Though "Achchha" is now included in English dictionary.â€ïžâ€ïž You have made me a book lover.â€ïž I'm really grateful to you for changing me into a better person. Keep up the good job Saheli di.â€ïž
I stay at mumbai but I already lived in kolkata before my mumbai's job for 3 n half years and kolkata's cost of living most cheaper than anywhere also for any bengali its good to living on your homeland. Right now I m doing work from home so thinking about moving back to kolkata. Let's hope for the best
You look so different now as compared to your earlier videos
I am a Mumbaikar. I hope to shift to Kolkata. It's cheap
Hi, I recommend (Secrets of Sanatan Dharma) available on Amazon and Kindle
U can always shift to pune :) its closer as well
One day I start my tube channel definitely..this much you inspire meâ€ïž
Go for it!
@@thehellyblog you Rply me...it's means a lot..thank youđđ
North is the real Kolkata. That part of Kolkata has the real essence of the city. North Kolkata is to be felt, not understood
North Kolkata is always a step closer to every Kolkataian,it still inheritance the culture of kolkata
Lauraaa kaa north Kolkata ...old people..old mentality old buildings ....fun is in south Kolkata always... Friendly people as well lots of money richness â€ïžâ€ïž
â@@saktlonda3892What is the cost of living in South Kolkata for couples?
@@a94k 30k atleast ...more is better ...and if possible but your own flat in south Kolkata perfect place for open minded class people ..but if you are village minded you can't survive their as people will not like you around ....if you are not city type you will not like as the vibes will not match with your standards...
@@saktlonda3892 Bro, I'm working in one of the MNCs. I'm planning to shift to Kolkata as my fiance is from Bengal.
Kolkata and Chennai are the only two metro city which are cheaper to live overall in general. Rest all cities are expensive.
Yes because Kolkata is hub of international business so dollar comes from other countries to Kolkata ... reducing the price inflation of the city apart from rest of India ...where prices are increasing every six month but in Kolkata prices are almost same from 1 tea cost to apartment rents ...it's like a frozen time machine ....so the city is becoming rich day by day as lots of bengalis live in America London Europe and all over world bringing money from other countries to our beautiful state and city ...Durga Puja is the biggest international festival in whole world after Christmas and ID ....that's the identity we have earned in world by our modern traditional mix culture
Thank you for all the great info you are providing. I'm planning to move to Kolkata as soon as visas are given again to Canadians. What neighborhood should I explore in North Kolkata to rent my first apartment/flat/PG etc? I'm looking for a safe but lively neighborhood, with parks and street food. BTW many of your links in the description are not working|
Why southern part of every city is costlier than the others? South Delhi, South Mumbai, South Kolkata.. đđ
Believe me Didi, These videos inspire me more than anything else.....plzzzzz keep making your day-to-day work videos.....đđđđđđđđđđđđđąđ
you didn't include electricity bill, society charges/building charge, transport expense, expense on clothes and makeup etc.
She added those . With rent she said electricity n other things
Yes - and I don't buy much clothes or makeup anyway- I bought once maybe in 6 months or a year lol. And nor I travel much
@@thehellyblogAnd non of my business.but how much earn in month you ?? âșïž
these videos inspire me, only youtuber who speaks genuinely to do good in career and growth.
Nice explanation †You are the best real life motivator for me. Now I have a clear vision that how much I need to have in my pocket to live a decent life in kolkata. Thank you so much â€

Hello helly do you know one thing I subscribed you when you had around 1k subscribers today I'm shocked after seeing your subscribers by the way keep growing đ
Awesome video Helly! Informative and quite helpful...so honest and RELATBLE...exotic???...every food nostalgia kicks in when you have enough in your pocket. Congrats for your business and have an awesome time in Kolkata
10k for 2 Bhk GOD. i am shifting theređ
I pay 10 bhk for a single bhk. Im really guilty rn.
Ikr, you can't really get at this much price đ

Nothing can be more soothing and exhilarating except watching your watching your videos â€ïž
Thanks a lot!
Great video! I was wondering why didn't your videos pop up in the first searches on CZcams. Great video
if you are a student and dont have this much money to spend, best option is living in a pg or hostel. well life wont be easy there but its relatively cheaper. i went to a college in kolkata, away from my hometown , and lived in the college hostel and it cost me around 4000 rs per month, including the monthly charge of the hostel, tuition fees and other stuff. the food was given by the hostel so it was included in the hostel fees. life was hard and hostels are dirty but its relatively cheaper. our monthly food charge in hostel was only 2200 rs although we had to pay 10k rs at the beginning of the year, which makes it around 833 rs per month plus the food charge of 2200 in the hostel. if u choose a pg, u can still find ones with monthly charge of 4k to 5k rs per month in north kolkata.
Yes as a student you have to manage & get affordable stay!
In South Kolkata the rents are much higher than 15k-20k. It's almost the double :(((
Depends on location. But mostly in Kolkata, the 2bhk are around 15.
@@user-ur7rw3zg6k I was specifically talking about South Kolkata like Ballygunge and Tollygunge
Nice vidoe Saheli đ :) you really inspired not only me but also a lot of people....keep inspiring us â€lots of love to you ....
waooo, you live alone ,independent ,you inspires me a lot i have learnt so many things with you helly ..
Glad to hear that!
buying favorite fruits is completely relatable to me for sure Helly......
fruits r expensive in childhood glad you u can afford healthy diet now... love you .. really inspired .. randomly watched ur video long time back to know about books now love watching you
I really enjoyed watching this video Helly, loved how you've put in all the factors :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool
And your mobile expenses? Like recharge or maybe bills?
U vl certainly do well within two years u r hope and inspiration for all those who want to live life on their own terms without slaving for some corporate or government organization
Her living costs are ~20,000 per month. Thank me later
That's why your english is soo good n fluent.
It cost me a lot less than you because I live with my parents.
Hey @Helly make a video on pro's and cons of living alone....
When are you doing fan meet up in kolkata? đ
Having spent my formative years and even my teens in Kolkata, I surely do know how it is so very cheap out there for basic necessities and survival, especially when you compare it with other metro and even some of the 2 tier cities...btw can you tell us more about the course subscription that you spoke of? That gives you access to numerous expensive courses at a nominal rate? Would really appreciate it, thank you :)
Love your book recommendations. đ Special thanks for recommending A thousand splendid suns đ€
One question .. You're living away from home for job or its for higher education ?
Great video helly...i personally want more video like this kinda topic.
Grow your own vegetable ... It helps a lot... And it's cheap AF đ
Why didn't you add your books cost đ Just asking why ? Are you getting them at free of cost or what ?
I said about the subscriptions
@@thehellyblog like your physical books?
@@thehellyblog what about physical copies cost ? I think that must be included
Thank you very much Helly didi for sharing your experience and information with us.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Kolkata is the best city according to me people r very helpful,cheap rent rates,transportation cost is very cheap u leave in the city like kolkata with your 5 member of family (couple,child n your parents)it will cost around 40k-45k
As per middle class need
THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE OF THIS CITY IS LESS OPPORTUNITY IN TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT VERY LESS COMPANIES FOR EDUCATED YOUTH
Finally got chance to comment with in 8 minutes...please do reply Helly...It will make my day..love from Burdwan
Thanks a lot!
Nice to hear such stuffs from a pro. Interested to see a day in your life video where you share oats recipeâ€ïžâ€ïž
Every person have their own experience about city life..
Thanks for sharing with us ......
Be vegitarian plz.....đđHellyđ
Hey helly...
I have been watching your videos for a while. Loved that you started living on your own and you new house is beautiful. I wonder where are all your old books... Did you left all those back home?
You are providing a guideline for many YA's to live and be independent.
Thank you!
I am also from North Kolkata đ
20K is a huge amount. Not everyone can afford that.
But you can find room easily in between 10k in south kolkata.
Bro can I get house with rent range between 7-9k?iam looking forward to move there and iam gonna stay alone so is there any good house in that rent?
@@bipash_9720 yes u can, but not in south calcutta. Bcz living cost in south calcutta is much more high than north calcutta.
U can easily get room in this range in north calcutta.
@@dhrubanidas8064 thanksâ€ïžcan you tell me how about the rate of grocery things and some other stuffs?hope you won't mind it
Trust me it's my most awaited video
This is for you-: why most of the people are prefer to speak in English everywhere...I'm very much wondered to see that people are not even interested to communicate with the nation language which is called "Hindi"... having good amount of knowledge in English is good but beside of all that we can also speak in hindi as well..I hope that you could speak hindi and I'm expecting tht you're next video will be in hindi language or as both little bit mix up...so I once again believe that you will agree with me...
â€ïž love her confidence
Comment before watching... Happy to see u mam
Exotic fruits yeahhh relatable đ„°
I also want to become like you a story teller and Book reader..đ
By charm of ur personality, just joined family of ur subs. đđ
Wow, I live in kolkata too, your expenses are damn expensive. Nice video.đ
How cheap is kolkatta rent yaar?
A place similar to yours in Mumbai would be 3x the rent at least. As a person who is still living with parents on their money and staying alone/ becoming independent is still a very scary step for me as I don't even earn anything.
Also your monthly grocery bill would probably be my weekly grocery expenses which is just a newsflash to me
Kolkata* sorry for the typo
Helly,free mein books read karne keliye tune books suggest kiya tha. Is there any app which will provide free books and at the same time writer will also get money. Agar aisa app hei toh uske baare video bana saktha hei kya?
And..I would like to read physical books. Lekin mujhe woh store karne ka koi man nahi hei. Apart from library,is there any way to read books physically without purchasing?
Buy on college street for a bargain n sell them back. I have been to Kolkata. But I live in Chennai and I do that.
Bajar theke kinle grocery er 30% daam easily kome jabe.
Love Idli Dosa too...well am really proud of ur achievements...keep growing girl...đđŻ
In a metro city expenses rises while in a non metro if you earn a heavy sum ; you are blessed. I don't like this video â€ïž
Di you are so inspiringđȘ â€
i earn 18k and my expenses are 4000 per month
m planning to stay there for a month or two, what are the prime areas to live in. i can spend up to 20k on furnished apartment
She says she spends 20,000 in a month. And that's CHEAP!
Bt she earns a lot.(~2.4lakh). i think she spends only 10% of her income.. & rem 90% in savings..

Hi
Hello Helly , i am glad to know that you are also from City Of Joy... I think you are living at Jadavpur..
I never want to live in Bengal because of very bad Law and order system...
And second State Delhi where i don't want to live becz of Pollution....
@The Infotainment Boi can you say any thing in this world where politics is not involved...
In Bengal it is case of both but law and order consider more because something happened once in awhile is definitely a politics but things which happened every week is total failure of law and order...
Love your videos and presentation so much! đ
Hey didiđ„șđ„ș I'm also from kolkata... Wanna meet you someday đâ€ïž
Sure!
