Hmmm.. The prices I mentioned are not based not on a luxurious life but a fairly decent life with a balance of facilities. Surely u can build a 2 stories house with 10M. But I forgot the land prices. So the estimate would go for about 17-19 for house and car.Antonym wrote:Interesting... So, one would need Rs 12~14 million house + car. To live a comfortable life in a place like Colombo, how much would a person need for everything else: food, entertainment, clothing, petrol, etc?smallville wrote:At last, someone's thinking goes inline with mine..
Max spending u need to have a good house with good modern facilities & a comfortable car;
House - 9-10M
Car - 3-4M
2 stories with 2-3 bed rooms, entertainment area, etc... with 2-3 bathrooms with some modern facilities, added to that plenty of garden space.. But I dont think u can do this in Colombo. U need to find a place from Moratuwa, Panadura towards down south and a bit of (1-2km) away from towns. Besides, town life is hectic, lot of noises and not in anyways suitable for a calm life.
With another 2-3 mil u also can have the 3rd floor build for leisure events, parties.
But this will also depend on the land prices.
food, entertainment, clothing, petrol, etc depend on ur life style rite?
For a family of 4 roughly;
Food - 17000 (home made)
others - depends
