I don't think you will be able to save, and your budget will be rather tight. Minimum 1800 a month for cheap car ( to buy with bank loan) and petrol. Insurance and utilities is about 800, minimum. Food about 2000. All around household items, pharmacy, etc. 400. We are already on 5000. We still didn't buy even 1 piece of clothes, didn't spend a penny for the car maintenance, for mobiles, for dinners out, we didn't spend a dime for couple of drinks in the bar, for gifts on our friend's birthday, for couple of bottle of wine home, for little home decoration.. We didn't put anything aside for next traveling, we didnt go to the movies.. All that will leave you with zero (good if not with minus) at the end of the month... as all these "little" extras are expensive here.. To save? I doubt...Unless you will give up on everything, and will spend only your very basic 5000.
