In my cheapest weeks, I spend on average 20,000/day. But I smoke 2 packs a day. That's 5,000 right there. That doesn't include my utilities.

i'm shocking for saving, i don't earn as much as you guys, i like my carefree lifestyle of no extra lessons etc, but what i tend to do is be really good for a couple of weeks and then go on some insane bender and spend hundreds of dollars staying wasted for two days

i think the answer is to send money home before you can spend it, but unlike most people i'm not really here for the money so much as the stress free life

I might save more if....

I spend less.

Yep, worked that out all by myself.

300,000 a month on food (I eat out every meal).
800,000 a month on excursions (girlfriend I eat at expensive places and travel around).
700,000 a month on student loans/bills back home.

The rest I keep. This is the first month I've had a surplus as every other month I've been buying stuff I'd need for my time here (computer, clothes et cetera).

I agree with the above comment.
Any future woman worth her salt would be asking that you save and invest in your (plural) future. Not hacking at your hard earned income.
