  "summary": "A Bengaluru couple, Ana Mishra and Ishan, recently shared the detailed expenses involved in moving into a 3BHK apartment in South Bengaluru, which totaled ₹2.5 lakh. The largest expense for the couple was the security deposit of ₹1.5 lakh for the apartment. They also paid a broker a fee of ₹37,000 (equivalent to one month's rent) to help find the home, ₹60,000 to packers and movers to transport their furniture from Kolkata, and ₹3,000 to transport personal belongings from their previous home in Bengaluru. Additional costs included ₹2,800 for new appliances and ₹700 for shifting their Wi-Fi connection. The couple's total expenditure for the entire moving process came to ₹2,53,500, excluding the cost of decorating the new home and purchasing other items. The breakdown of expenses generated a wide range of reactions online, with some users questioning the couple's choices and others sharing their own, often higher, moving costs.",
