Hmm, I would add that you could also do a lot cheaper. If I spend 50RMB on taxis daily and eat out twice I generally spend only 100 per day, so about 3000 per month. This is still true because if I dont take taxis/eat in that week I will probably drink the money during the weekend 😀 I also spend around 800 for rent and 200 for utilities a month. The only times I spend more than that is generally when I blow the lot of money on clothes or have to pay school or visa fees (ugh 14k per yer+ 800 for visas+ 400 for health check= a whole lot of money I could be drinking!). not including those things, my daily life expenses are insanely low. So, depending on your work and just how cheap you are you may very well be able to get by on as little as 6k a month if you bike/take buses, cook your own food and drink at home.
