around 500,000 to 600,000 W per month

Between 2-2.5mil, including rent. Friends of mine go out just as much it seems and dont spend quite as much. My finances never quite add up. I do go out a lot but I mostly stick to pints of cass and eat bibimbaps, galbi etc.......dont know where it all goes

Usually between 2.1 - 2.4 million won per month including rent / bills / insurance policies.

All of it, seemingly. But I also always seem to end of with cool shit afterwards, so I'm not complaining.

[yingwenlaoshi]

I have 10, 750 Won left.

Fluctuates greatly. Last month I spent 2.8 mil, but usually I spend around 700,000 - 1,000,000 and do whatever I want to do on that money.

I keep it at less than W450,000. The other 2 goes to gold and silver. Precious metals are our friends!

[IncognitoHFX]

I have W100,000 left for the next two days. No biggie.

I spend all my money every month, but I usually send W1,000,000 home every month to pay off student loans.

My expenses total between 1.5 to 1.8 a month. Here's a basic breakdown:

600,000 Rent (including utilities)
500,000 Groceries
50,000 Transportation

100,000 Gym
50,000 Food Supplements (ie protein powder)
