You'll never have enough for a good life, but it might suffice...or not!

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
tricky one really depends on the position and experience but first off you need a housing allowance of about 120 k. Do maths backwards from there. I would say 15k plus 120 housing allowance, medical insurance, flights etc.

you aren't earning enough to buy somewhere here unless you have a huge deposit lying around in which case I wouldn't be coming here for 20k a month. Get it up to 25 and then I think you might be ok. It is the rent that is the killer.

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
Right, i do have a deposit lying around, considerable. But i've been doing the math and spoken to a couple of friends that said i should be ok and yes rent is the killer. But if i lived somewhere slightly in-land and not a very flash place but decent enough, do you still think that rent would be as high? Assuming i live close to work, perhaps walking distance and maybe a big studio or medium one bed apt?
