To live comfortably in Shanghai china

Hello Rajesh,

Till members provide their feedback, have a look at the following thread : The cost of Living in China in 2023

@rajeshbatraiica

depending on your lifestyle, you can easily blow your money in Shanghai by eating at ex pat restaurants, doing expat outings where you will pay 2 to 10 times more than in a similar Chinese owned restaurant.  I lived in Shanghai for 14 years and usually spent between 6000-8000 rmb/month, rent included,  without cutting back much at all.  Ate in restaurants 5-6 times per week, drinks, entertainment, etc.  The rest of my money went to savings and you can earn between 2.5 and 4.5% tax free interest at specific banks in Shanghai.

great place to live if you have a salary

between 20000 and 80000 rmb per month!
