Hello,
I am hoping for some advice as some of the threads are a little dated so not sure if the cost of living has changed...
I have been offered a position with a yearly salary 520k zar in Joberg...after tax I work out this is aprox 31k take home per month? I will be coming alone.
Can somebody please advise if these figures of my fixed costs are roughly correct...
Two bedroom apartment in fouways area furnished: 9,000
Utilities per month: 1,000
Car per month: 5,000
Insurance and Petrol: 2,000
Total 17,000
(I have health cover in my package)
Remaining money for myself aproximately 14,000 per month. Is this enough to live a comfortable and fun life? During the weekdays I will cook at home but during the weekend I will like to eat out and have a drink etc. Dress reasonably well (not fancy designers) Also have enough money for weekends away to visit different parts of Africa.
Any help would be appreciated
