Not everyone works. Wrong calculation





Let me explain with an example. IIRC a driver earns about PKR 50K pm in Karachi/Lahore. Suppose he is in a family unit with his wife, two kids and an elderly parent, the family income is 50K but the per capita income is 50/5= 10K. So, the family is above poverty line.

Im not sure about Karachi because I don’t have the exact figures. I can only speak about my area and here almost nobody earns close to 50K a month. In my area income of around 50K would be enough to support a small family (5 members) but even that would require some budgeting.

big cities like Karachi are way more expensive...housing, transport, food, school fees, utilities and medical expenses are all higher. I think a family of five living on 50K in Karachi would likely struggle to maintain a normal standard of living.

And keep in mind that using per capita income can sometimes give a wrong picture of actual poverty. A household may appear above the poverty line statistically but after expenses like rent, education, healthcare and other necessities are paid, the remaining income may still be insufficient for a family’s other needs.

TBF I never personally lived in Karachi, so I can’t speak with certainty about the exact cost of living there.

You've got interest free financing as well for vehicles around 6.5 million...

The e-bikes were for students only... Problem is most of these bikes come with bad batteries and will die out

Sir investment in car on finance is financial suicide right now. My brother just finished his last repayment on his Grande.
