Perhaps we shouldn't only consider our own expenses and ways of living when advising others, whom we do not know or how they wish to live.

It was good of you to detail the expenses and i didn't dare compare with my own because I spend too much money every month, but I think the general consensus would be that 70k is liveable here for a single guy. Girl costs also drop when you get a live in girlfriend and you may also then possibly gain a second income.

why not go the whole hog and sleep on the beach ad eat out of trash cans - works for some unfortunates?

in all seriousness - it's better for anyone wanting to come here on a long term basis to understand that it is not 'cheap' or easy.

your money will not last long and you may be pissing away a career back home in the meantime.
