Mumbai cook earns ₹1.05 lakh a month, plans first Thailand trip as employer compares his finances with MBA friends
A LinkedIn post by Mumbai-based Manuraaj Garg has drawn attention to his cook’s reported monthly earnings of ₹1.05 lakh through assignments with multiple households and film crews.
In a LinkedIn post, Manuraaj Garg compared the financial situation of his cook with that of friends who have MBA degrees. The cook earns ₹1.05 lakh per month through various assignments, including preparing meals for Garg's home, a nearby flat, and a nearby family, as well as working at a film set during night shoots. His wife also contributes ₹45,000 a month, bringing the household income to approximately ₹1.5 lakh.
Garg highlighted the cook's financial advantages, such as multiple income sources, minimal commute, and low expenses. He compared this to the conventional measures of professional success possessed by his MBA-educated friends, who often struggle to receive responses from employers and face pressure to maintain expensive lifestyles.
Despite his relatively cautious spending, the cook recently purchased the latest iPhone Pro on EMI. Garg emphasized that the cook has a different approach to financial well-being, one that our conventional spreadsheets do not account for.
