I have a studio apartmemt with a balacony. its 550,000₩ a month with about 6,000,000₩ Deposit that is retunred when i move out. if you are an english teacher your job will probably pay your deposit and possibly some if not all of your rent.

transportation including taxis - 80,000₩ a month

doctors visits - maybe 10,000₩ including prescription meds.

I pay 2,000₩ for my daily cup of coffee you can find coffee at anyprice though depending on the shop. Ive seen the same cup of coffe i by 2,000 sold for 6,000 at fancy stores.

my cell phone bill is about 90,000₩ but...i didnt pay for my phone i pay for it in monthly installments. galxy note 3 (700,000₩) paid for monthly over 2 years. i walked out the store without paying anything.
