Hi,

I'm moving to stockholm in June to work, I've already got a one bed apartment sorted out, 3 stops from the central station (I'm in the city). I have no Swedish and am moving with my girlfriend, she doesn't have a job yet and does not speak Swedish either. I was wondering what type of lifestyle both of us could afford on SEK 16700 per month, I know this isn't a lot of cash, but at least this is what we have left after paying for the apartment.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
N.

It depends on your living style. I live in a town outside Stockholm and spend approximately 7000-8000 SEK/month. In Stockholm it might be a bit expensive to leave.

I assume 10000SEK/ person. For this amount you should be fine . Having a meal in the resturants is quite expensive , you may not be able to eat out very often.!0000 is enough for food and travel expense for 1 person . As a student i spent around 9000kr /month ,the amount includes 3400 for rent and 300 for internet.

Hi, dears,
