Hi,
My boyfriend and I are thinking of moving to Copenhagen. We expect to earn about 35k for me (I'm an analyst) and 30k for him (he's an English teacher). So I assume we'd have about 30-33k total left after taxes. Is that a good money to live a quite relaxed life in Copenhagen? We mostly cook at home, go out usually just for a beer or coffee maybe once a week. We do not need to live in the city center as we're used to over 2hrs a day of commute to work. We'd like to go on a real vacation once a year 
Also, if we had a child, would this salary be acceptable? We don't need private schools and such, just to raise a happy kid in not financially strained environment 
I'm mostly wondering how much does it cost to buy food, everyday cosmetics and stuff - I understand that we have to consider about 10-12k for an apartment, but other than that I'm pretty clueless. I will appreciate every answer
Thank you very much Nellie!
