Depends what you want to include, I'm working on (per month)

Rent: $1800
Food: $800
Car/transport $400
Gas/Elec $320
Mobiles(2) $200

Thats $3520 per month for the basics. I'm not there yet but that's the budget so far, doesn't include buying the car, just fuel, maintenance and insurance.

I'm sure it can be done a bit cheaper but I don't think that's in anyway luxurious or extravagant.
