alright..... lemme see if i can break this down to what kinda lifestyle and money i dished out...
I never cooked for myself (that makes it 10x more expensive as well, i recommend cooking for yourself to keep down the costs. but this was my lifestyle and maybe you follow it too!)
so... eating out 7days a week twice a day including snacks uhmm.....
bout 10dollars a dayx7days= 70bucks... right? right. 4weeks =280bucks for the month
clubbing on the weekends twice a month thats 2000yen entrance fee and lets also include all the travel costs of riding the train from where I lived (Okazaki) to Nagoya, thats 1000yen so lets say. multiply that by two times and we got 6000yen so like 52bucks, but to keep things even lets say 50. so add 50 to that 280 and we got 330 bucks a month. ALRIGHT now lets put in other entertainment such as movies, rentals, hanging out, and chillin at the Izakaya at night in a week. 30bucks so x4 thats 120bucks! ouch! 450 a month! yikes!
x12= $5400 cha ching!
ok thats my rough expenses including food and play. Accomodation.... that can get expensive or can be cheap depending on who you stay with or where you stay. My GF's onebed room apt in the middle of Tokyo in a relatively nice area, secure and close by the station is 700 a month. Thats alot! considering she lives in an apt that resembles my CLOSET back home.
now.....Tokyo is the most expensive city sooo lets say you dont live in Tokyo and you live somewhere less expensive you might pay 350 400 okie? so lets figure this out HRRRRRRRMMMMMM...... for a $400 apt for one year 4800.....and lets add that too the 5400 and.....*drum roll please!*
$10200
hrmm.....
thats alot! But you also gotta figure you will be working or have scholarships n stuff. The scholarship im on now gives me 800 a month and i got another one that gives me 3g's for school. And since its through the school i live in a dorm which is only $120 a month and anything else is outta my pocket which leaves me lots of money for PLAY money!
these #'s are just off the top of my head and outta my ass how much you spend etc will vary GREATLY from my #'s im sure. I mean you can do bare minimum and share an apt, cook for yourself (i.e. buying groceries), not go out all the time and spend money on booze and liquor and save yourself thousands of dollars!
right well..... now you roughly know how i spent my cash!

how much did i save up huh..... hrmm... not really sure. I just went with what i had i didnt really "save up" persay i just made sure i continued with the same lifestyle i was living here, living there. I mean not much really changed as far as expenses living there from what i spent living in the states. so i cant say that i really "saved" up alot of money. |
ok ok...let me put it this way...'before you left for japan...the night before....HOW MUCH MONEY did ya have in ur pockets!? or in ur back account???' do ya get me now.......cuz if ya don't ... *shurgs shakes head and wives up*
