The woman, a consultant in Dublin, said her total monthly costs came to around 1,750 euros, which is almost ₹1.9 lakh.

The young girl’s rent alone is 71%. A 23-year-old Indian woman living in Dublin, Ireland, recently shared a detailed breakdown of her monthly expenses, revealing she spent around 1,750 euros in August.

Gul, who works as a consultant in Dublin, shared the breakdown in an Instagram video. “This is how much I spent in August as a 23-year-old consultant living in Dublin,” she wrote in the post’s caption.

According to her breakdown, Gul paid 1,250 euros, about ₹1.3 lakh, towards rent and electricity. “That’s the number that really swallows everything. I pay a lot of rent, I know,” she said in the video. This sparked a lot of discussion on social media regarding the expenses.

Gul revealed that her share of grocery expenses came to 77 euros (₹8,500), while she spent 70 euros (₹7,700) on transport and 20 euros (₹2,200) on her phone bill. On some days, eating out added another 145 euros (roughly ₹16,000), which she said included matcha, canteen lunches, and other small expenses.

Her non-essential expenses included 105 euros (around ₹11,000) for concert tickets, 30 euros (around ₹3,300) for a table for her room, 17 euros (₹18,000) for a watch, and 35 euros (approximately ₹38,000) on gifts.

Almost around ₹1.9 lakh. Of this, rent and electricity accounted for about 71%, leaving 29% for everything else, counting food, transport, entertainment and other personal expenses.

“Nonentity tells you that if you’re in a new city, rent is going to take up so much of your expenses, and there’s nothing you can do about it, because Dublin is anyway the most expensive city in Ireland,” she said.

The video sparked a discussion among social media users.

Reacting to the video, one user commented, “I agree with the rent, it’s just crazyyy even in the States”.

“Try Autumrooms or similar companies providing accommodation for less than what u spend right now,” another suggested.

“€77 for groceries? Don’t mind me asking, are you on Jain food or khichdi? Coz I am even struggling on €200 groceries a month,” a third user wrote.
