So with your $1100 what will you have to provide for yourself? It seems from your list above that it is only spending money so that will depend on what sort of lifestyle you have

Oh, I understand you. You have to pay for everything except your accommodation and car and fuel.
You will find it quite tight if you are not getting medical cover and education. You can probably survive but you will have to live a simple life
