A Bengaluru couple has gone viral on social media after sharing a detailed breakdown of their monthly expenses for August, which amounted to a staggering ₹5.9 lakh. The duo, popularly known as the “Travel Couple” on Instagram, regularly documents their lifestyle and travel adventures. Their latest video, however, sparked curiosity and debate among users, with many asking, “What do you guys do for a living?”

According to their breakdown, the couple’s biggest expense in August was on travel. They spent ₹3.5 lakh on two domestic and two international trips, including flight tickets and hotel bookings. Rent for their Bengaluru home came to ₹42,000, while fitness expenses, including Pilates and personal training, stood at ₹40,000. They also spent ₹20,000 on groceries, ₹13,000 on dining out, and ₹10,000 on utilities.

Apart from living costs, the couple set aside ₹1 lakh for investments and ₹15,000 under miscellaneous spending, making their total monthly expense ₹5,90,000. In the caption accompanying the post, the couple admitted they initially struggled to manage finances.

“I will be brutally honest, but we had a rocky start managing money, where one was taught not to interfere in someone else’s finances and the other was too pragmatic and organised. And honestly, if we can work a way around and talk at length about money and investments, I am sure any couple can,” they wrote.

They further highlighted the importance of open communication about money in relationships, adding, “Because you’re not just living with your life partner, you’re also building a life with them, and that takes addressing a lot of tough topics so that they don’t become an issue later on.”

The post quickly went viral, attracting a flood of comments. One user joked, “Their 1 month expense = our 1 year income.” Another quipped, “Looks like Bangalore is more expensive than London.” Many were simply stunned by the lavish lifestyle and eager to know the couple’s profession.
