Several Indian women have highlighted the high cost of living in cities like Bengaluru and Gurugram, focusing on housing expenses.

Meanwhile, a Gurugram woman spends over half her salary on rent to live close to work, prioritizing convenience and mental well-being over savings. These accounts underscore challenges faced by middle-class residents managing rising urban living costs.
