Hi everyone. I am relocating to Seoul next month. I wanted to do some basic budgeting and forecasting prior to this. Can anyone tell me how much a phone contract is there and how difficult it is to get one? Also, are gyms and swimming pools and squash courts easily accessible? How much do they cost? I also have heard that Seoul is much more expensive than the rest of the country. I'm hoping to save about 50% of my monthly wage.. which is 2.2million won. Is this realistic?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can save that kind of money, many people do but you'll have to be frugal.
