Watch Me Take on This Insane Budget Challenge!
#LearnWithPari
Hey Learners! 👋 Pari here from Learn With Pari, and today I’m doing something a little crazy… okay, a lot crazy. Ever thought to yourself, “What if I had just ₹100 for an entire day? Could I survive?” 😳 Well, I decided to stop wondering and actually try it!
Yep. Just ₹100.
One person. 24 hours. Zero excuses.
From food to travel and maybe a few surprises — here’s how it went down. 👇
🌄 Morning Madness – Budget Breakfast on the Go
I kicked off my day early (because when you only have ₹100, time is your best friend!). I skipped the fancy cafés and hit the local street stalls instead. Found a hot cup of chai for ₹10 and a couple of parathas from a roadside vendor for ₹15. Breakfast = ₹25.
✅ Balance Left: ₹75
✌️ Mood: Hopeful… but hungry again in two hours.
🚶♀️Walking the Talk – No Auto, No Ubers
I realized quickly that I couldn’t afford rickshaws or buses. So it turned into a day of free cardio! 💪 Every step counted — literally (I walked 12,000+ steps!).
🏃♀️ Effort Level: Olympic
🚌 Travel Expense: ₹0
✅ Balance Left: ₹75
🍛 Lunchtime Hustle – Street Food FTW
Time for lunch! After scouting around, I found a hidden gem: a humble thali place serving rice, dal, and sabzi for ₹40. Not bad for a full meal that actually filled me up.
✅ Balance Left: ₹35
🥵 Mood: Getting real now… Can I make it to dinner?
😩 The Midday Struggle – When ₹35 Starts to Feel Like ₹3
This was the hardest part of the challenge. I wanted a cold drink, maybe a snack, ANYTHING — but nope, had to resist! Instead, I sat in a park, sipped free water, and reminded myself of the goal. 🌳😅
🌇 Dinner Decisions – Stretching Every Rupee
With ₹35 left, I had to be smart. I found a local vendor selling vegetable momos — 6 pieces for ₹25. For ₹10, I got another chai to warm me up before bed. Not a fancy meal, but hey, it worked.
✅ Final Balance: ₹0
🍽️ Hunger Level: Managed!
🎉 Challenge Status: COMPLETED!
💬 What I Learned – More Than Just a Budget Challenge
This wasn’t just a test of how little I could spend — it was a lesson in:
- Gratitude – for everyday comforts we often take for granted.
- Resourcefulness – making every rupee count.
- Resilience – pushing through when things got tough (especially around 4 PM when I was daydreaming about pizza 🍕).
💡Would I Do It Again?
Maybe not tomorrow 😂… but definitely sometime again — and maybe in a new city! This challenge opened my eyes to how millions live every day on tight budgets and still make it work.
So…
Can you survive on ₹100 a day?
Try it — it’s tougher (and more fun) than it looks. But don’t forget to tag me if you do! 🙌
