What are your average monthly expenses?

Just trying to get a feel for what I might be spending in an average month - being that I am not a very extravagent person.

Cheers!

essentials

utilities/building fees ~100,000
cell ~40,000
internet 45,000
food 300,000
misc house stuff (soap, tp, etc.) ~30,000

everything else depends on the month

cell: 10,000 won (I do not use it enough to justify paying for a contract phone)
food: ~250,000 won
Internet: 40,000 won
other bills: 50,000 won
transport: 50,000 won
misc: 20,000 won

Total: 420,000 won

Plus blowing money on whatever I feel like.

With eating food out 2 times per week, and my 3 times per week physical therapy, I can go through 250,000w every 2 weeks. Fortunately, my US insurance will pay the physical therapy co-pays for me. They don't consider it a copay when you are traveling overseas. I use the local PC Bang, and it costs 1,000w. I don't have a cell, and I am waiting to set up my internet (30,000w)
