A 33-year-old doctor earning around Rs 3-3.5 lakh monthly sought advice online about hiring a personal driver for Rs 18,000 per month to ease his daily 60 km commute between two hospitals. He cited exhaustion from traffic and parking challenges. Online responses largely encouraged hiring a driver, highlighting benefits like reduced stress and improved work-life balance. The doctor weighed the cost against mental relief, with many viewing the expense as a worthwhile investment in quality of life.
